    Objective: Indiscriminate use of antibiotics to control fish diseases has led to the development and propagation of antibiotic resistant bacteria in aquatic ecosystems. Amongst the various alternatives proposed, enhancing immunity in fish using probiotics is the most widely accepted approach. Several earlier studies indicated the possibility of more potent effects of bacteria on fish when administered in live condition than as inactivated cells. But very few studies have explored the effect of gut bacteria on innate immune responses of fishes. Hence an attempt is made to study immunostimulatory effects of dietary supplementation of Bacillus subtilis and Terribacillus saccharophillus isolated from the gut of an edible Indian freshwater fish, Labeo rohita, in the same species. Methods: Long term administration (for 30 and 60 da.. View More»
