Abstract

Graphical Abstract   Highlight Research 1. A lytic bacteriophage was successfully isolated from catfish pond water in Dramaga, Bogor, with a high density of 5.68 × 10⁹ PFU/mL. 2. Characterization revealed round to irregular plaque morphology with high clarity and diameters reaching 0.35 cm. 3. The bacteriophage exhibited high host specificity, being effective only against the A. hydrophila AH03 isolate from the AAHL collection. 4. Treatment at MOI 10 resulted in more effective inhibition of A. hydrophila growth compared to other treatments.   Abstract Aquaculture plays a vital role in global protein supply, yet its increasing production faces disease-related challenges, particularly A. hydrophila infections. This pathogen causes Motile Aeromonas Septicemia (MAS), leading to mass mortality in catfish and significant economic losses. While antibiotics have been the primary solution, their use is now restricted due to antimicrobial resistance, necessitating safe and sustainable alternatives. Phage have emerged as environmentally friendly, specific biocontrol agents to combat such infections. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of lytic phage in controlling the fish pathogen A. hydrophila through an in vitro approach. The research stages included phage isolation (density assay), characterization (plaque morphology and host range testing), and evaluation of phage against A. hydrophila (bacteriolytic efficacy assay). A completely randomized design was employed, with six treatments and three replicates, media control (K-), A. hydrophila control (K+), antibiotic control (enrofloxacin 0.1 mg/mL, KA), and phage treatments at multiplicities of infection (MOI) of 0.1, 1, and 10 (P0.1, P1, P10) for the bacteriolytic efficacy assay. Phage isolated from catfish ponds in Dramaga, Bogor, exhibited a high titer (5.68 × 10⁹ PFU/mL) and formed clear, round plaques (0.17-0.35 cm diameter). They demonstrated a narrow host range, lysing only 1 of 10 A. hydrophila isolates. In efficacy assays, phage treatment at an MOI of 10 significantly reduced bacterial density (p < 0.05) at 24 hours post infection, decreasing the OD 600 nm by 38.7% compared to the positive control. These results indicate the potential of these phage as an antibiotic alternative for controlling A. hydrophila in aquaculture.

Abstract

Graphical Abstract Highlight Research vB_Vp_TSK01 and vB_Vp_JKT02 a specific parahaemolyticus bacteriophage were isolated from the shrimp aquaculture water. Compared to control vB_Vp_TSK01 reduced 11.46±1.35% of bacterial growth, and by 9.86±5.92% for vB_Vp_JKT02 treatment. Their cocktail had the highest parahemolyticus growth inhibition by 30.92±3.89%. The phage treatment increased the survival of the Artemia by 28.57% compared to infection control.     Abstract Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) caused by V. parahaemolyticus infection was one of the major diseases in shrimp culture in recent years. The Vibrio could also affect the survival of Artemia as the shrimp’s main live feed in the hatchery and they become the possible carrier for the AHPND. Phage therapy in shrimp aquaculture could reduce the application of the antibiotic as an antibacterial agent for the AHPND. The present study aimed to isolate the specific lytic phage for the Indonesian strain of V. parahaemolyticus (Vp) and evaluate the phage therapy for the brine shrimp Artemia infected with the Vp. The Vp-specific phage was isolated from the shrimp farm’s water at Tasikmalaya, and North Jakarta City, Indonesia. After isolation and plaque assay, brine shrimp were used as a model to evaluate the phages’ anti-Vibrio activity The Vp-lytic phage was successfully isolated from shrimp culture water at North Jakarta and Tasikmalaya (Vb_Vp_TSK01 and Vb_Vp_JKT01, respectively) and the results showed that both isolated phages and their cocktails were capable to inhibit the growth of Vp with the highest inhibition shown at the cocktail treatment (p<0.05). The survival of Artemia was higher in the phage treatments (p<0.005) compared to the infected control. Infected control had 68.33% of brine shrimp survival, and the Vb_Vp_TSK01, Vb_Vp_JKT01, and their cocktail had similar average brine shrimp survival of 91.11%. In conclusion, phage therapy proved effective in preventing vibriosis in brine shrimp under the conditions tested.
