Use of dead probiotic cells to control furunculosis

There has been increasing interest in the use of probiotics in aquaculture (e.g. Douillet & Langdon 1994; Gildberg, Mikkelsen, Sandaker & Ringo 1997; Kennedy, Tucker, Neidic, Vermeer, Cooper, Jarrell & Sennett 1998; DeSchrijver & Ollevier 2000; Robertson, ODowd, Burrells, Williams & Austin 2000), and a diverse range of Gram-positive (such as Carnobacterium inhibens) (Robertson et al. 2000) and Gram-negative bacteria, including Vibrio alginolyticus (Garriques & Arevalo 1995), have been evaluated at various times. Following previous suc- cess with live probiotics (Irianto & Austin 2002a), research has focused on the usefulness of inactivated preparations for the control of furunculosis in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum). Rainbow trout (average weight 1 and 15 g) were obtained from commercial sh farms in Scotland and maintained in aerated free owing de-chlorinated fresh water at 12 C. The health status was examined immediately upon arrival in the aquaria and at 12 week periods thereafter (after Austin & Austin 1989). The source of the probiotics (unidentied Gram- positive coccus A1-6, V. uvialis A3-47S, Aero- monas hydrophila A3-51 and Carnobacterium BA211) has been published previously (Irianto & Austin 2002a). Stock cultures were freeze-dried and stored at 70 C as suspensions in 20% (v/v) glycerol. The organisms were grown in tryptone soya broth (Oxoid, Basingstoke, UK), harvested by centrifugation at 1000 g for 10 min at 4 C, and suspended in 0.9% (w/v) saline to 10 10 cells mL )1 followed by the addition of 40% (v/v) formalde- hyde to 0.2% (v/v) with incubation at 20 C for 4 days. Inactivation was conrmed by the absence of growth following the seeding of triplicate plates of tryptone soya agar (Oxoid) with 0.1 mL volumes of the cell suspension and incubation for 23 days at room temperature. Volumes were mixed thor- oughly in 100 g amounts of commercial dry rainbow trout feed (Trouw, Glasgow, UK) to achieve a dose equivalent to 10 7 bacterial cells per gram of feed. Groups of 50 rainbow trout were fed to satiation four times daily, for 14 days. Then, rainbow trout fry were immersed for 5 min in a suspension of 10 7 cells mL )1 of a virulent culture of A. salmonicida. Fingerlings were challenged by cohabitation, in which rainbow trout infected intraperitoneally with 10 6 cells of A. salmonicida were added to groups of rainbow trout which had been administered with the putative probiotic at a rate of 10 infected rainbow trout per group of 50 sh. The rainbow trout were maintained for a further 14 days and all sh were examined micro- biologically for the presence of A. salmonicida. Duplicate groups of sh were used to determine the mode of action of the probiotics. The methods for determining the presence of serum antibodies and the number of erythrocytes and leucocytes in blood have been described previously (Irianto & Austin 2002a). Thus, blood was collected from Journal of Fish Diseases 2003, 26, 5962 Correspondence Prof. B. Austin, School of Life Sciences, John Muir Building, Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS, UK (e-mail: b.austin@hw.ac.uk) 59 2003 Blackwell Publishing Ltd groups of 10 freshly killed sh by venepuncture using 9 mL capacity Vacuettes containing heparin (Greiner, Gloucester, UK). The kidneys were removed from the same groups of 10 sh and used to determine the number and phagocytic activity of the macrophages (after Sakai, Kobayashi & Yoshida 1995). Micrococcus luteus (formerly M. lysodeikticus) [NCIMB (National Collection of Industrial and Marine Bacteria, Aberdeen, UK) 9278] was used for the determination of lysozyme activity (Sarder, Thompson, Penman & McAndrew 2001; Irianto & Austin2002a). Freshly killed rainbowtrout fromeach group were used to collect cutaneous and intestinal mucus, which were used in a previously described enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the presence of antibodies to A. salmonicida (Durbin 1997; Irianto & Austin 2002a). The quantitative data were used to calculate standard deviations, analysis of variance, and the honestly signicance test (HST) (Steele & Torrie 1996), contained on the Minitab 13 Program Package (Minitab, Coventry, UK). With rainbow trout fry and ngerlings, there was benet in using the formalin-inactivated bacterial preparations for 14-day feeding regimes. Thus, following challenge with A. salmonicida, 92% of the fry died within 14 days compared with 18, 16, 16 and 70% of the sh administered with A1-6, A3-47S, A3-51 and BA211, respectively (Table 1). Using rainbow trout ngerlings, 60% of the controls died after challenge with A. salmonicida compared with 4, 4, 8 and 0% of the groups fed with A1-6, A3-47S, A3-51 and BA211, respectively (Table 1). With the exception of the group fed with formalin-inactivated cells of A3-51, there was a slight weight gain among the ngerlings compared with the controls, although the situation regarding the fry was less clear (Table 1). The data did not reveal any serum or mucus antibodies to A. salmonicida in ngerlings which had received the formalin-inactivated bacterial preparations, although more time may be necessary for detectable antibody production. Thus, the ELISA gave consistently negative values with all the serum samples. However, compared with the controls, there were increased numbers of erythro- cytes especially after 7 and 21 days (Table 2), although the analysis of variance indicated that there was no signicant difference between the data (P < 0.05). For example, the number of erythro- cytes in the controls were 4.3 0.2 10 8 and 14.2 0.8 10 8 mL )1 at 7 and 21 days, respect- ively, whereas the corresponding counts for the sh which had received inactivated cells of A1-6 were 9.1 0.6 10 8 and 23.6 7.5 10 8 mL )1 (Table 2). A higher number of leucocytes was recorded in sh fed with inactivated probiotics after 7 and 14 days, but less so at 21 days, i.e. 7 days after the cessation of feeding with the dead bacterial cells, compared with the controls (Table 2). Thus, after feeding with dead probiotic cells for 7 days, the number of leucocytes was 1.4 0.3 10 7 mL )1 Table 1 Effectiveness of dead probiotic cells to control furun- culosis in groups of 50 rainbow trout Probiotic ref. no.

Analysis of variance (P < 0.01) and HST (P < 0.01) revealed sig- nicant differences between the data. Although there were increased levels of lysozyme activity after 7 days of feeding with dead probiotic cells (Table 2), the data were not statistically signicant by analysis of variance (P < 0.05). In contrast, the data for the number of macrophages was signicant by analysis of variance (P < 0.01) and HST (P < 0.01). Thus, compared with the controls, with A1-6, A3-51 and BA211 there were enhanced number of macrophages in the kidney (Table 3). For example, 1 week after feeding sh with dead cells of A3-51, i.e. at day 21, the number of kidney macrophages was estimated as 14.7 1.6 10 8 g )1 compared with only 2.6 0.8 10 8 g )1 in the controls (HST, P < 0.01). However, feeding with dead cells of A3-47S led to reduced numbers of macrophages, i.e. 1.7 0.1 10 8 g )1 , at day 21. Whereas it appeared that use of A3-47S led to the greatest proportion of dead macrophages (8.8 1.5% compared with 6.2 2.7% in the controls), the data were not signicant by analysis of variance (P < 0.05). Nevertheless, statistical signicance by analysis of variance (P < 0.01) and HST (P < 0.05) was recorded for phagocytic activity of A3-47S. With this organism there was least phagocytic activity (73.3 2.7%) compared with the controls (70.2 3.8%) (Table 3). It is generally accepted that probiotics are live microbial feed supplements that somehow have benet for the host (Fuller 1987), although there has been a virement in the actual denition (Irianto & Austin 2002b). Yet, the current study has revealed that formalin-inactivated cells, applied as feed additives, have a benecial effect at controlling furunculosis in rainbow trout. This raises an interesting paradox concerning whether or not inactivated cells should be regarded as probiotics or even as oral vaccines. Notwithstanding, there is clearly benet with using dead cells. In comparison with the previous work with live cells (Irianto & Austin 2002a), there was no evidence for the development of serum or mucus antibodies, but this is not so surprising in view of the comparatively short time elapsing from uptake on feed to challenge, i.e. 14 days. Nevertheless, there was evidence of other cellular immunity factors resulting from use of the dead bacterial cells. Compared with the use of live cells for 14 days (Irianto & Austin 2002a), there were less erythro- cytes and kidney macrophages, smaller proportions of dead macrophages and reduced phagocytic and lysozyme activities following use of the formalized preparations. However, the levels of these factors were still greater than those of the controls. In contrast, the number of leucocytes was much greater than with live cells (Irianto & Austin 2002a). Certainly, the data suggest that cellular rather than humoral immunity is a factor in explaining the benet of these inactivated bacterial cell preparations. In conclusion, the four isolates were clearly benecial for rainbow trout when administered inactivated as feed additives. The comparatively poor performance of BA211 in rainbow trout fry is curious, and merits further examination. It remains for large-scale trials to determine the usefulness of these probiotics in eld conditions.
