PG - 347-53 LID - 10.1016/j.fsi.2010.11.005 [doi] AB - The efficacy of cellular components of probiotics Kocuria SM1 and Rhodococcus SM2 to protect rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) against vibriosis was assessed. Groups of fish (average weight = 10-15 g) were immunized intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 0.1 ml of subcellular materials, i.e., 0.2 +/- 0.05 mg protein per fish, comprising extracellular proteins (ECPs), cell wall proteins (CWPs) and whole cell proteins (WCPs) of SM1 and SM2, respectively, or with 0.1 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to serve as the control. Seven days after administration, fish from each group were challenged i.p. with 0.1 ml of a suspension in PBS of 3 x 10(5) cells ml(-1) per fish of Vibrio anguillarum. Use of CWPs and WCPs demonstrated significantly (P < 0.05) better protection against V. anguillarum insofar as mortalities were reduced to 11-17% [relative percent survival (RPS) = 80-87%], although ECPs fared less well (mortalities = 33-38%; RPS = 56-62%; P > 0.05), compared to 86% mortalities of the controls. The mode of action reflected activation of innate immune factors by CWPs and WCPs, demonstrating significantly (P < 0.05) increased expression of respiratory burst (optical density; OD(550 nm)) from 0.039 to 0.043-0.045, peroxidase (OD(550 nm)) from 0.26 to 0.37-0.55, and bacterial killing activities (i.e., percentage of surviving bacteria reduced from 79% to 56-57% for SM2). Moreover, an elevation of leucocyte number (from 1.93% to 1.98-2.93%; P > 0.05) and immunoglubolin level (from 27 mg ml(-1) to 28.5-33 mg ml(-1); P > 0.05) were observed with the experimental groups. These results indicate that cell components of the probiotics stimulate an immune response. CI - Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
