Edwardsiella ictaluri, a non‐zoonotic Gram‐negative bacterium, has been known to science
for more than 4 decades. It was reported for the first time in 1979 in Ictalurus punctatus in the …

Koi herpesvirus (KHV), recently designated Cyprinid herpesvirus 3, is the causative agent of
a lethal disease in koi and common carp. In the present study, we investigated the portal of …

The beneficial contribution of commensal bacteria to host health and homeostasis led to the
concept that exogenous non-pathogenic bacteria called probiotics could be used to limit …

The escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance has increased pressure to develop novel
