Vibriosis is a multifactorial disease that causes economic losses in the shrimp farming industry. As part of an ecological approach for its control, aqueous extracts from plants generally recognized as safe (GRAS): Allium sativum (290000 µg mL-1), Camellia sinensis (40000 µg mL-1), Morinda citrifolia (250000 µg mL-1) and Origanum vulgare (50000 µg...

In the search for probiotic bacteria from marine environments to control pathogenic Vibrio of cultivable marine species, this study focused on members of the genus Pseudovibrio. Based on its symbiotic features and antibacterial capacity, the genus Pseudovibrio could be used as probiotic to control vibriosis in shrimp culture. Fortythree isolates of...
