Probiotics and immunity: a fish perspective.
TL;DR: The review is aiming to highlight the immunomodulatory activity of probiotics and also to evaluate the factors that regulate for the optimum induction of immune responses in fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
The current status and future focus of probiotic and prebiotic applications for salmonids
Daniel L. Merrifield,Arkadios Dimitroglou,Andrew D. Foey,Simon J. Davies,R.T.M. Baker,Jarl Bøgwald,Mathieu Castex,Einar Ringø +7 more
TL;DR: The application of probiotics and prebiotics may result in elevated health status, improved disease resistance, growth performance, body composition, reduced malformations and improved gut morphology and microbial balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of gastrointestinal microbiota in fish
TL;DR: The involvement of GI microbiota in fish nutrition, epithelial development, immunity as well as disease outbreak, and the need for manipulating the gut microbiota with useful beneficial microbes through probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic concepts for better fish health management are indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prebiotics in aquaculture: a review
Einar Ringø,Rolf Erik Olsen,T.Ø. Gifstad,Roy A. Dalmo,Heidi Amlund,Gro Ingunn Hemre,Anne Marie Bakke +6 more
TL;DR: To fully conclude on the effects of adding prebiotics in fish diets, more research efforts are needed to provide the aquaculture industry, the scientific community, the regulatory bodies and the general public with the necessary information and tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunological Control of Fish Diseases
TL;DR: Fish are the first animal phyla to possess both an innate and adaptive immune system making them very interesting as regards developmental studies of the immune system, and the main prophylactic measures, including vaccination, probiotics and immunostimulation are covered.

Probiotics in man and animals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used probiotic treatments to re-establish the natural condition which exists in the wild animal but which has been disrupted by modern trends in conditions used for rearing young animals, including human babies, and in modern approaches to nutrition and disease therapy.

Probiotic Bacteria as Biological Control Agents in Aquaculture
TL;DR: This review describes the state of the art of probiotic research in the culture of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and live food, with an evaluation of the results obtained so far.

Probiotics: Growth-Promoting Factors Produced by Microorganisms
TL;DR: A consistent 50-percent increase in growth has been obtained with Tetrahymena pyriformis in response to a factor produced by Colpidium campylum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of resistance to antibiotics links between animals and humans.
TL;DR: Since the EU ban of avoparcin, a significant decrease has been observed in several European countries in the prevalence of vancomycin resistant enterococci in meat (products), in faecal samples of food animals and healthy humans, which underlines the role of antimicrobial usage in food animals in the selection of bacterial resistance and the transport of these resistances via the food chain to humans.

Does the use of antibiotics in food animals pose a risk to human health? A critical review of published data

TL;DR: The application of the 'precautionary principle' is a non-scientific approach that assumes that risk assessments will be carried out, and anti-Gram-positive growth promoters would be expected to have little effect on most Gram-negative organisms.
