The intestinal microbiota of certain farmed fish are often exposed to antimicrobial substances, such as antibiotics, that are used to prevent and treat bacterial diseases. Antibiotics that kill or inhibit the growth of harmful microbes can rapidly alter intestinal microbial diversity and composition, with potential effects on the host health. In this study, we have elucidated the impact of two antibiotics, florfenicol and oxolinic acid, by employing a high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing technique on the distal and mid intestinal microbial communities of Atlantic salmon (). For this, Atlantic salmon were offered diets with or without antibiotics. We then investigated the bacterial communities in the intestinal mucus of the fish. Our results showed that antibiotic exposure shifts the intestinal microbial profile differentially. In addition, the bacterial compositions of the control and antibiotic-fed groups were significantly different. Antibiotic feeding altered the composition and abundance of the dominant bacterial phyla, namely Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Spirochaetes, Bacteroidetes, Tenericutes, and Thermotogae. The bacterial association network analysis also indicated the differential pattern of co-occurrence of bacteria in the three study groups. The results regarding the differences in the structure and association of the intestinal microbiota of Atlantic salmon after florfenicol and oxolinic acid feeding can be employed to attenuate the adverse effects of antibiotic feeding on fish.
某些养殖鱼类的肠道微生物群常常会接触到用于预防和治疗细菌性疾病的抗菌物质,如抗生素。杀死或抑制有害微生物生长的抗生素会迅速改变肠道微生物的多样性和组成,对宿主健康产生潜在影响。在本研究中,我们通过采用高通量16S rRNA基因扩增子测序技术,阐明了氟苯尼考和恶喹酸这两种抗生素对大西洋鲑鱼远端和中段肠道微生物群落的影响。为此,给大西洋鲑鱼投喂含或不含抗生素的饲料。然后,我们调查了鱼肠道黏液中的细菌群落。我们的结果表明,抗生素暴露会使肠道微生物谱发生不同的变化。此外,对照组和抗生素投喂组的细菌组成存在显著差异。抗生素投喂改变了优势细菌门的组成和丰度,即变形菌门、放线菌门、厚壁菌门、螺旋体门、拟杆菌门、柔膜菌门和栖热袍菌门。细菌关联网络分析也表明了三个研究组中细菌共现的差异模式。氟苯尼考和恶喹酸投喂后大西洋鲑鱼肠道微生物群在结构和关联上的差异结果可用于减轻抗生素投喂对鱼类的不利影响。
