Abstract

Marine Gram-positive bacterial pathogens, including Renibacterium salmoninarum, Mycobacterium marinum, Nocardia seriolae, Lactococcus garvieae, and Streptococcus spp. cause economic losses in marine fish aquaculture worldwide. Comprehensive information on these pathogens and their dynamic interactions with their respective fish–host systems are critical to developing effective prophylactic measures and treatments. While much is known about bacterial virulence and fish immune response, it is necessary to synthesize the knowledge in terms of host–pathogen interactions as a centerpiece to establish a crucial connection between the intricate details of marine Gram-positive pathogens and their fish hosts. Therefore, this review provides a holistic view and discusses the different stages of the host–pathogen interactions of marine Gram-positive pathogens. Gram-positive pathogens can invade fish tissues, evade the fish defenses, proliferate in the host system, and modulate the fish immune ...

Disruption of Bacterial Cell-to-Cell Communication by Marine Organisms and its Relevance to Aquaculture
Natrah Ikhsan (F.M.I Natrah)

Marine Biotechnology, 2011

Bacterial disease is one of the most critical problems in commercial aquaculture. Although various methods and treatments have been developed to curb the problem, yet they still have significant drawbacks. A novel and environmental-friendly approach in solving this problem is through the disruption of bacterial communication or quorum sensing (QS). In this communication scheme, bacteria regulate their own gene expression by producing, releasing, and sensing chemical signals from the environment. There seems to be a link between QS and diseases through the regulation of certain phenotypes and the induction of virulence factors responsible for pathogenhost association. Several findings have reported that numerous aquatic organisms such as micro-algae, macroalgae, invertebrates, or even other bacteria have the potential to disrupt QS. The mechanism of action varies from degradation of signals through enzymatic or chemical inactivation to antagonistic as well as agonistic activities. This review focuses on the existing marine organisms that are able to interfere with QS with potential application for aquaculture as bacterial control.

Current Challenges of Streptococcus Infection and Effective Molecular, Cellular, and Environmental Control Methods in Aquaculture
Anshuman Mishra

Molecules and cells, 2018

Several bacterial etiological agents of streptococcal disease have been associated with fish mortality and serious global economic loss. Bacterial identification based on biochemical, molecular, and phenotypic methods has been routinely used, along with assessment of morphological analyses. Among these, the molecular method of 16S rRNA sequencing is reliable, but presently, advanced genomics are preferred over other traditional identification methodologies. This review highlights the geographical variation in strains, their relatedness, as well as the complexity of diagnosis, pathogenesis, and various control methods of streptococcal infections. Several limitations, from diagnosis to control, have been reported, which makes prevention and containment of streptococcal disease difficult. In this review, we discuss the challenges in diagnosis, pathogenesis, and control methods and suggest appropriate molecular (comparative genomics), cellular, and environmental solutions from among the...

Intracellular Bacterial Infections: A Challenge for Developing Cellular Mediated Immunity Vaccines for Farmed Fish
Hetron Munang'andu

Microorganisms, 2018

Aquaculture is one of the most rapidly expanding farming systems in the world. Its rapid expansion has brought with it several pathogens infecting different fish species. As a result, there has been a corresponding expansion in vaccine development to cope with the increasing number of infectious diseases in aquaculture. The success of vaccine development for bacterial diseases in aquaculture is largely attributed to empirical vaccine designs based on inactivation of whole cell (WCI) bacteria vaccines. However, an upcoming challenge in vaccine design is the increase of intracellular bacterial pathogens that are not responsive to WCI vaccines. Intracellular bacterial vaccines evoke cellular mediated immune (CMI) responses that "kill" and eliminate infected cells, unlike WCI vaccines that induce humoral immune responses whose protective mechanism is neutralization of extracellular replicating pathogens by antibodies. In this synopsis, I provide an overview of the intracellular bacterial pathogens infecting different fish species in aquaculture, outlining their mechanisms of invasion, replication, and survival intracellularly based on existing data. I also bring into perspective the current state of CMI understanding in fish together with its potential application in vaccine development. Further, I highlight the immunological pitfalls that have derailed our ability to produce protective vaccines against intracellular pathogens for finfish. Overall, the synopsis put forth herein advocates for a shift in vaccine design to include CMI-based vaccines against intracellular pathogens currently adversely affecting the aquaculture industry.

Host responses to Renibacterium salmoninarum and specific components of the pathogen reveal the mechanisms of immune suppression and activation
Martyn Gilpin

Immunology, 2002

SummaryDuring infection, Renibacterium salmoninarum survives within the pronephric macrophages of salmonid fish. Therefore, to study the initial phases of the interaction we infected macrophages with live bacteria and analysed the responses of host and pathogen. It was found that the expression of msa encoding the p57 antigen of R. salmoninarum, was constitutive, while the expression of hly and rsh, encoding haemolysins, and lysB and grp was reduced after infection. Macrophages showed a rapid inflammatory response in which the expression of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II), inducible cyclo‐oxygenase (Cox‐2), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was enhanced, but tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) expression was greatly reduced initially and then increased. After 5 days, except for TNF‐α and MHC II, expression returned to levels approaching those of uninfected macrophages. We propose that R. salmoninarum survives initial contact with macr...

Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) Is Susceptible to Renibacterium salmoninarum Infection and Induces Cell-Mediated Immunity in the Chronic Stage
Javier Santander

Frontiers in Immunology

Renibacterium salmoninarum is a Gram-positive, intracellular pathogen that causes Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD) in several fish species in freshwater and seawater. Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) is utilized as a cleaner fish to biocontrol sea lice infestation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farms. Atlantic salmon is susceptible to R. salmoninarum, and it can transfer the infection to other fish species. Although BKD outbreaks have not been reported in lumpfish, its susceptibility and immune response to R. salmoninarum is unknown. In this study, we evaluated the susceptibility and immune response of lumpfish to R. salmoninarum infection. Groups of lumpfish were intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected with either R. salmoninarum (1×107, 1×108, or 1×109 cells dose-1) or PBS (control). R. salmoninarum infection kinetics and mortality were followed for 98 days post-infection (dpi). Transcript expression levels of 33 immune-relevant genes were measured in head kidney (n = 6) of fish infected w...

Genetic Approaches for the Identification of Genes Involved in the Pathogenesis of Bacterial Infections in Fish
Global Science Books

Over the last 15 years new approaches have been developed for the identification and study of the functions of genes and proteins involved in the virulence mechanisms of bacteria. Some of these approaches are based on the identification of genes required by the bacteria to survive and grow inside the host. Most of these techniques have recently been applied to bacterial fish pathogens successfully. Some of these techniques involve the " In vivo expression technology (IVET) " , which identifies specific promoters expressed in bacteria grown inside the fish body but not in conventional culture media; " Signature-tagged mutagenesis (STM) " , a useful tool for the screening of null mutants which show a decreased virulence capability in the host; and " Suppression Subtractive Hybridisation (SSH) " , a genome-wide technology, which enables the identification of genes present only in virulent strains of bacteria or the identification of genes expressed only inside the fish host. This paper reviews the application of these techniques to important pathogenic bacteria for the aquaculture field.

Comparative genomics analyses of fish pathogenic Streptococcus spp. isolated from tilapia and flounder
Tasmina Akter

Annals of Bangladesh agriculture, 2023

This comparative study was performed to analyze the whole genome sequences of three species of Streptococcus (S. agalactiae, S. iniae and S. parauberis) isolated from Tilapia and Flounder from six different countries (Brazil, China, Israel, South Korea, Taiwan and USA). The objectives were to compare the genomic features, virulence, and antibiotic resistance genes in the genome sequences of 11 isolates of Streptococcus spp. A total of 44 virulence genes were identified in the genomes of 11 strains. These genes are responsible for adherence, various enzyme production, immune evasion, immunoreactive antigen, and toxin production. Eight antibiotic resistance genes were identified in the eleven genome sequences of the Streptococcus sp. strains. All strains of S. agalactiae and S. iniae harbor macrolide resistance gene mreA. Although five secondary metabolites such as Arylpolyene (ary), Type III Polyketide synthases (T3PKS), RiPP-like peptide, linear azol(in)e-containing peptides (LAPs), RaS-RiPP antimicrobial compound, and T3PKS were detected in all 11 genomes; only T3PKS was common in all strains. Additionally, Cas cluster CAS-TypeIC and CAS-TypeIIA were identified among the ten strains of S. agalactiae and S. iniae. The findings indicated that the degree of pathogenicity of Streptococcus sp. remained closer regardless of origin, distribution and host. The results would be useful to understand the virulence factors of the Streptococcus sp. and the antibiotic resistance genes associated with their virulence in fish.

Trojan Horse Effect: Phagocyte-Mediated Streptococcus iniae Infection of Fish
Marina Eyngor

Infection and Immunity, 2003

The salmonid macrophage-like cell line RTS-11 and purified trout pronephros phagocytes were used to analyze in vitro entry and survival of two Streptococcus iniae serotypes. Efficient invasion by S. iniae occurred in both cells, but only the type II strain persisted in pronephros phagocytes for at least 48 h. Ex vivo models of opsonin-dependent phagocytosis by pronephros phagocytes demonstrated increased phagocytosis efficacy. Analysis of phagocytes collected from diseased fish demonstrated that ϳ70% of the bacteria contained in the blood during the septic phase of the disease were located within phagocytes, suggesting an in vivo intracellular lifestyle. In addition to the augmented levels of bacteremia and enhanced survival within phagocytes, S. iniae type II induces considerable apoptosis of phagocytes. These variabilities in intramacrophage lifestyle might explain differences in the outcomes of infections caused by different serotypes. The generalized septic disease associated with serotype II strains is linked not only to the ability to enter and multiply within macrophages but also to the ability to cause considerable death of macrophages via apoptotic processes, leading to a highly virulent infection. We assume that the phenomenon of survival within phagocytes coupled to their apoptosis plays a crucial role in S. iniae infection. In addition, it may provide the pathogen an efficient mechanism of translocation into the central nervous system.

Immunity to bacteria in fish
Nhã Huệ

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 1999

Fish have many non-specific and specific, humoral and cellular mechanisms to resist bacterial diseases. Non-specific humoral factors include growth inhibiting substances, e.g. transferrin and antiproteases; lysins, e.g. lysozyme, C-reactive protein (CRP), bactericidal peptides and most importantly, complement which has lytic, proinflammatory, chemotactic and opsonic activities thus making a link with non-specific phagocyte responses. These are primarily executed by neutrophils and macrophages. The phagocytes contain many hydrolytic enzymes and when stimulated by bacteria produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially the hydroxyl radical, via generation of superoxide anions and nitric oxide. ROS are highly bactericidal. In addition, the neutrophils possess large quantities of myeloperoxidase (MPO) which generates bactericidal hypohalite ions from halide ions and H 2 O 2 . Macrophages can receive MPO from neutrophils and this may enhance their bactericidal activity. Antibody constitutes a specific humoral defence by inhibiting bacterial adherence or invasion of non-phagocytic host cells and neutralising bacterial toxins. Antibody can act as an opsonin and by activating complement by the classical pathway may lyse the bacterial cell, activate inflammation, phagocyte influx and further enhance phagocytosis. Macrophage bactericidal activity can be markedly increased by cytokines released by T lymphocytes on contact with their specific antigen. Pathogenic bacteria have evolved many ways of subverting these defence mechanisms of fish. These include the in vivo production of high a$nity iron uptake systems (e.g. siderophores and their surface receptors, in Aeromonas salmonicida, Vibrio anguillarum). Some bacteria e.g. V. anguillarum strains of serotype 01, while being resistant to the alternative pathway of complement activation in normal serum, are killed in immune serum. In other bacteria, surface layers, capsules and elongated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 0-antigens protect against classical complement-mediated killing (e.g. A. salmonicida, Photobacterium piscicida, V. anguillarum serotype 02 respectively). While some important pathogens (e.g. P. piscicida) are readily killed by macrophages, others (A. salmonicida) possess specialised superoxide dismutase and catalase to resist ROS and are toxic themselves to macrophages. Renibacterium salmoninarum uses antibody, complement and other serum components to activate the respiratory burst of macrophages on immediate contact thus exhausting this macrophage bactericidal mechanism before the bacterium is phagocytosed. Subsequently, R, salmoninarum is taken up by the macrophage where it multiplies as an intracellular pathogen. However, these two highly adapted pathogens, A. salmonicida and R. salmoninarum are both killed by activated macrophages indicating that the whole concerted e#orts of specific and non-specific, humoral and cellmediated immune responses are required for immunity against these two important pathogens. 1999 Academic Press 291

Pathogenesis of gram-negative bacterial infections in warmwater fish
Ronald Thune

Annual Review of Fish Diseases, 1993

Knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of many bacterial diseases in fish is limited, especially in those diseases that occur in warmwater species. This limited knowledge base is due to the relative recent emergence of warmwater fish culture as a major industry in many parts of the world, and to the previous economic insignificance of warmwater aquaculture and the bacterial pathogens affecting warmwater species. This article is an overview of the important gram-negative pathogens of warmwater fish, including members of the genera Aeromonus, Edwurdsiella, Pasteurella, Pseudomonas, and Vibrio. The current knowledge of the pathogenesis of these organisms is emphasized, including: the source of the pathogen, its preferred site and method for attaching to and penetrating the host, its adaptations for surviving the host immune system, and its strategies for obtaining nutrients required for proliferation and growth. Although information for many of these pathogens is limited, the intent of this article is to provide a baseline for the development of future research projects. Increases in worldwide aquaculture production will result in a demand for knowledge about the pathogenesis of bacterial pathogens in warmwater fish, because of its importance in making health management decisions, in deciding on treatment regimens, and in the development of vaccines.

Fish living in the wild as well as reared in the aquaculture facilities are susceptible to infectious diseases caused by a phylogenetically diverse collection of bacterial pathogens. Control and treatment options using vaccines and drugs are either inadequate, inefficient, or impracticable. The classical approach in studying fish bacterial pathogens has been looking at individual or few virulence factors. Recently, genome sequencing of a number of bacterial fish pathogens has tremendously increased our understanding of the biology, host adaptation, and virulence factors of these important pathogens. This paper attempts to compile the scattered literature on genome sequence information of fish pathogenic bacteria published and available to date. The genome sequencing has uncovered several complex adaptive evolutionary strategies mediated by horizontal gene transfer, insertion sequence elements, mutations and prophage sequences operating in fish pathogens, and how their genomes evolved from generalist environmental strains to highly virulent obligatory pathogens. In addition, the comparative genomics has allowed the identification of unique pathogen-specific gene clusters. The paper focuses on the comparative analysis of the virulogenomes of important fish bacterial pathogens, and the genes involved in their evolutionary adaptation to different ecological niches. The paper also proposes some new directions on finding novel vaccine and chemotherapeutic targets in the genomes of bacterial pathogens of fish. * Unpublished. * * Coding sequences.

Renibacterium salmoninarumiron‐acquisitionmechanismsand ASK cell line infection: Virulence and immune response
Alejandro Yáñez

Journal of Fish Diseases, 2019

Aquaculture is a rapidly growing industry, accounting for nearly 50% of the fish consumed globally (FAO, 2018). The Chilean salmon industry (the second largest worldwide) has presented sustained growth over the last 30 years, producing over 791,000 tons and US$4,600MM in revenue for 2017. Nevertheless, rapid escalation in production has directly impacted the sanitary conditions of cultured fish, increasing the probability of bacterial infections. Such is the case with Renibacterium salmoninarum, a Gram-positive, high-G+C content bacterium recognized as the aetiological agent of bacterial kidney disease. This chronic granulomatous disease affects salmonid species worldwide and can cause mortality rates as high as 80% (Evenden, Grayson, Gilpin, & Munn, 1993). In Chile, R. salmoninarum was first isolated from chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta, Walbaum) reared in seawater cages at Ensenada Bay (Sanders & Barros, 1986). Subsequent detection occurred in the southern regions of the country in other host species, including rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), the most widely farmed salmonid in Chile. This Gram-positive bacterium can be internalized into macrophages and non-phagocytic cells, such as the cell lines

    Linking Copper-Associated Signal Transduction Systems with Their Environment in Marine Bacteria
    Pratima Gautam

    Microorganisms

    Copper is an essential trace element for living cells. However, copper can be potentially toxic for bacterial cells when it is present in excess amounts due to its redox potential. Due to its biocidal properties, copper is prevalent in marine systems due to its use in antifouling paints and as an algaecide. Thus, marine bacteria must possess means of sensing and responding to both high copper levels and those in which it is present at only typical trace metal levels. Bacteria harbor diverse regulatory mechanisms that respond to intracellular and extracellular copper and maintain copper homeostasis in cells. This review presents an overview of the copper-associated signal transduction systems in marine bacteria, including the copper efflux systems, detoxification, and chaperone mechanisms. We performed a comparative genomics study of the copper-regulatory signal transduction system on marine bacteria to examine the influence of the environment on the presence, abundance, and diversit...
