Gut bacterial communities play a key role in shrimp health; thus, their modulation has been a target of dietary supplements which also function in enhancing disease and stress resistance of shrimp. However, this also raised the question of whether immunostimulants yield distinct changes in the gut bacterial composition or whether there are consistent features across all treatments. Here, we performed a machine learning-aided meta-analysis of 16S rRNA gut bacterial community studies of immunostimulants for Penaeus vannamei.

Due to its critical role in regulating the expression of genes related to antibiotic resistance and virulence, quorum sensing (QS) was proved to be an ideal target in disease control.

These significant changes resulted in diversity of microorganisms and their mechanisms employed such as antibiotic resistance and their communication system or quorum sensing (QS). In this study, four bacterial isolates from Pasig River, identified as , sp.
