“…However, reports of 'less well-known' and novel Flavobacterium spp. being recovered from the internal organs of fish in Africa (Flemming et al 2007), Asia (Karatas et al 2010, Suebsing & Kim 2012, Europe (Zamora et al 2012(Zamora et al , 2013(Zamora et al , 2014, and South America (Kämpfer et al 2012) are beginning to surface. Thus, the findings of this study, in conjunction with the findings of the aforementioned studies, illustrate that a much more diverse assemblage of flavobacteria are capable of systemically infecting fish.…”

Flavobacterial diseases negatively impact wild and cultured fishes worldwide. We recently reported on the presence of a large and diverse group of flavobacteria, many of which were associated with lesions in a number of Great Lakes fish species. Herein, we report on the characterization of 65 fish-associated Flavobacterium spp. isolates using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and phylogenetic analyses based upon neighbor-joining and Bayesian methodologies. Thirteen isolates were identified as the newly described fish-associated F. plurextorum, F. spartansii, and F. tructae, while 3 isolates were similar to F. frigidimaris; however, the remaining Flavobacterium spp. isolates did not conclusively match any described Flavobacterium spp. and thus were suspected as comprising novel flavobacterial species. A more comprehensive polyphasic characterization was undertaken on 6 isolates, representing a range of association with disease signs in hatchery-raised or free-ranging fish and genetic distinctness. Polyphasic characterization included physiological, morphological, and biochemical analyses, as well as additional phylogenetic analyses based upon near-complete sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. Our findings demonstrated that that at least 5 of the 6 isolates are most likely novel species within the genus Flavobacterium that have never before been reported from fish. Pilot experimental challenge studies suggested that some of these Flavobacterium spp. can cause pathological lesions in fish and were re-isolated from the brains, spleens, livers, and kidneys of experimentally infected fish. The findings underscore the growing number and heterogeneity of flavobacteria now known to be capable of infecting fish.

“…Sturgeons are exposed to pathogens and need special attention including the prevention. Numerous studies on bacterial diseases in sturgeons (Vuillaume et al 1987;Brun et al 1991;Francis-Floyd 2000;Soltani & Kalbassi 2001;Bauer et al 2002;Brunetti et al 2006;Yang & Li 2009;Cao et al 2010;Karatas et al 2010;Timur et al 2010;Meng et al 2011;Chen et al 2012;Shaowua et al 2013) have reported that they are sensitive to Yersinia ruckeri, Vibrio anguillarum, Flexibacter columnaris, Flavobacterium johnsoniae, Flavobacterium hydatis, Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas sobria, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis Pseudomonas spp., Pseudomonas fluorescens, Edwardsiella tarda, Streptococcus spp.…”

This study addressed the issue of the dietary supplements; probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotics considered as functional food ingredients in sturgeon aquaculture. Developments of this strategy have been suggested and practiced as an alternative to antibiotic administration in aquaculture. Sturgeons are commercially valuable species due to their meet and roe, which is made into caviar. Aquaculture of sturgeons up to marketable size has increased during the last decade while disquieting decreases have been noticed of the natural populations. In line with the expand evaluations of microbial dietary supplements and prebiotics in finfish and shellfish aquaculture, the scientific community has also increased their interest in approaches to these issues in sturgeon aquaculture. The present review summarizes and discusses the results on intestinal microbiota of sturgeon species and the effects of probiotic, prebiotic or synbiotic administration on growth performance, gut physiology, intestinal microbiota, immune response and health. Furthermore, this study tries to cover the gaps of existing knowledge and suggest issues that merits further investigations.

“…? : It was not done Bacterial pathogens including A. hydrophila, Flavobacterium hydatis (Timur et al, 2010), Flavobacterium johnsoniae (Karatas et al, 2010), Acinetobacter radioresistens, Bacillus mycoides, Aeromonas spp., and Pseudomonas spp., (Kayis et al, 2017) were reported in Russian sturgeon. In conclusion, cultured Russian sturgeon were investigated for bacterial fish pathogens in case of inflation of the swim bladder.…”

In this study, the bacteriological examination was performed to investigate the cause of juvenile sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) mortality, kept in a fish farm, in Turkey. During the disease outbreak, 15% of the sturgeon (2.7-4.2 g) died.The most important clinical signs were swimming upside-down in the water and no feed intake. The fish have exhibited an enlarged abdomen due to the swim-bladder gas problem. Aseptic liver and head-kidney of affected fish were streaked on Tryptic Soy Agar. The pure colonies were characterized by several biochemical tests and rapid commercial test kit (API 20NE). Genetic identification was performed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The antibacterial susceptibility of bacteria against six different antibiotics was also evaluated by disk diffusion method. Based on biochemical characteristics, the causative bacteria were identified as Aeromonas hydrophila (API 20NE, profile: 5477754). Bacteria were identified as Aeromonas sp. by molecular analysis. The bacteria were sensitive to enrofloxacin, florfenicol, oxytetracycline, sulfamethoxazole+trimethoprim, gentamycin and resistant to erythromycin. The most effective antibiotics were enrofloxacin and florfenicol. In this study, an infection caused by Aeromonas sp. was reported in Russian sturgeon. Overall this study revealed that Aeromonas sp. may be considered as a causative agent of inflation of the swim bladder in Russian sturgeon.
