Abstract
The present study involved the control of Aeromonashydrophila in Cyprinuscarpio by bacteria Enterococcusfaecium MC13 isolated from fish Mugilcephalus intestine. Antagonistic effects were confirmed against Aeromonashydrophila by cross-streaking and the agar spot method. Probiotic effects of the isolate were confirmed by injection and oral administration to check for nonpathogenicity to fish. All the two probiotics were orally administered to fingerlings of Cyprinus carpio for 60 days through feed. The intestinal load of bacteria and NBT assay were analyzed on 7, 15, 30, and 60th day of treatment. Experimental fish were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila on 30 and 60th day. The neutrophil activity was higher in E. faecium MC13 fed fish on day 60 (1.525 ± 0.379 OD). In respect of relative percentage survival (RPS), the higher protection of 75 and 77.8% was observed in E. faecium MC13 fed fish on 30 and 60th day of challenge with Aeromonas hydrophila This study identified the bacterial probiont MC13 (Enterococcusfaecium) effectively controlled the Aeromonashydrophila infection in Cyprinuscarpio.
