Bacteriophage (Phage)
• Definition - Obligate intracellular parasites
that multiply inside bacteria by making use of
some or all of the host biosynthetic machinery
• Definición - Obliga los parásitos
intracelulares que se multiplican dentro de las
bacterias haciendo uso de parte o la totalidad
de la maquinaria biosintética del huésped.

Bacteriophage (Phage)
Phages typically carry only the genetic
information needed for replication of their
nucleic acid and synthesis of their protein coats.
They require precursors, energy generation and
ribosomes supplied by their bacterial host cell.
Los fagos típicamente llevan solo la información
genética necesaria para la replicación de su ácido
nucleico y la síntesis de sus capas proteicas.
Requieren precursores, generación de energía y
ribosomas suministrados por su célula huésped
bacteriana.

Bacteriophage (Phage)
• Bacteriophages are among the most common and diverse entities in the
biosphere.--Los bacteriófagos se encuentran entre las entidades más comunes
y diversas de la biosfera.
• Phages are widely distributed in locations populated by bacterial hosts--
Los fagos se distribuyen ampliamente en lugares poblados por huéspedes
bacterianos.
• It has been estimated that there are more than 100 different phage
species and at least 10 phages for each bacterium.--Se ha estimado que
hay más de 100 especies de fagos diferentes y al menos 10 fagos para cada
bacteria.

Where we can find phages
• In human and animal intestines ( En intestinos humanos y animales)
• In running water (En agua corriente)
• Effluents (Efluentes)
• In the soil (En la tierra)
• Sewage (Aguas residuals)

What is Phage Therapy?
• Treatment of infections using specific natural agents (bacteriophages) that attack only bacteria
• Tratamiento de infecciones utilizando agentesnaturales específicos (bacteriófagos) que atacan solo a las bacterias.The first evidence for a viral-like agent with antibacterialproperties was reported by M. E. Hankin in 1896.
Found in the Ganges river in India, it was temperature sensitive,capable of passing through a porcelain filter, and could reducetitres of the bacterium Vibrio cholerae in laboratory culture.
Hankin suggested that it might help to decrease the incidence ofcholera in people using water from the Ganges.

WHY PHAGE THERAPY IN AQUACULTURE?
¿POR QUÉ TERAPIA DE FAGA EN ACUICULTURA?
![Page 15: Bacteriophages for the control of Vibriosis in Aquacultureaquaexpoguayaquil.cna-ecuador.com/wp-content/uploads/... · 2019-11-05 · •Bacteriophages are among the most common and](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042302/5ecd69ab70df0429c222539c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Disadvantages of antibiotics -Desventajas de los antibióticos.
• Emergence of multiple drug resistant strains which in turn enters the
human system - Aparición de múltiples cepas resistentes a los
medicamentos que a su vez ingresan al sistema humano.
• Problem of residues and export rejection -Problema de residuos y
rechazo a la exportación.
• Limited number of antibiotic in the pipeline
• Therefore, antibiotics are no longer the preferred treatment against
vibriosis in shrimp culture and alternative methods are being sought
-Por lo tanto, los antibióticos ya no son el tratamiento preferido
contra la vibriosis en el cultivo de camarones y se buscan métodos
alternativos.
Are phage our answer to antibiotic
resistance?
¿Son los fagos nuestra respuesta a la
resistencia a los antibióticos?

Need new approaches.. In aquaculture, impossible to vaccinate each and every
animal.
Need New Approaches to Combat Infections - Necesita
nuevos enfoques para combatir las infecciones
Bacteriophages appear to be natural plausible and
appropriate candidate to overcome the above problems
-Los bacteriófagos parecen ser plausibles y candidatos
apropiados para superar los problemas anteriores.
Already ubiquitously present in unprocessed foods

Advantages of Phage Therapy
• Self-replicating therapeutic Terapéuticoautorreplicante
• Self-limiting -Phages thrive in the presence of bacteria, and die out in their absence. Autolimitantes: los fagos prosperan en presencia de bacterias y mueren en su ausencia.
• One phage/bacterium is sufficient
• “Green Natural Alternative” "Alternativa verdenatural"
• Highly host-specific✓No damage to normal (beneficial ) flora
• Sin daño a la flora normal (beneficiosa)

To sum up
Phages are everywhere: We live in a sea of phages.
Phages are safe
In-adequacies of previous Phage therapy era are well understood
More information & better tools are available now
Well controlled animal studies done in recent years have confirmed efficacy & safety of phage therapy
Polish studies have shown that Phage-therapy can tackle drug resistant pathogens
The world is re-considering Phage-therapy
It could be a stand alone therapy or Valuable adjunct to probiotics

VIBRIOSIS IN HATCHERIES
• Hatcheries seed production often suffer setbacks due
to vibrio and suffer enormous economic losses.
• Vibriosis continue to cause chronic mortalities of up
to 30% under stressful conditions.
![Page 30: Bacteriophages for the control of Vibriosis in Aquacultureaquaexpoguayaquil.cna-ecuador.com/wp-content/uploads/... · 2019-11-05 · •Bacteriophages are among the most common and](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042302/5ecd69ab70df0429c222539c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why vibrio loads are high hatchery environment?
¿Por qué las cargas de vibrio son un entorno de alta incubadora?
• Vibrio is halophilic- sea water is the suitable medium - halófilo
• High temperature during LRT (31-32°C) favorable for vibrio multiplication-
• Following inputs supply sufficient nutrients for the vibrio to multiply

Whole Genome sequencing:
• Phage 1a purified by PEG method from the lysate• Phage DNA isolated and purified by silica column after
removal of host DNA using DNAse.• Whole genome sequenced and annotated• This had 90% similarity with the genome of Vibrio
vulnificus phage SSP002 which is a lytic phage.

External Lab trials
• External lab trials were conducted at National centre for aquatic animal health, Cochin
• Two trials of challenge studies were carried out
• Controlled challenge studies demonstrated complete protection against Vibrio challenge in VIBRIOSHIELD treated post larvae as against 55% mortality in untreated group. Challenge was done using Vibrio harveyi at a dose of 106 cfu/ml of water.

Feedback of farm
• Drastic reduction of total vibrio counts
• Reduction of running mortality syndrome
• Reduction of White faecal disease where there is no EHP involvement

Bacteriophage therapy
• Several hatcheries have reported that the larvalsurvivability increased markedly with the bacteriophagetherapy.
• There is a drastic reduction in vibrio counts in the LRTs
• Bacteriophage therapy can be stand alone therapy or canbe used adjunct with probiotics
