    Frequent outbreaks of various bacterial diseases have long been recognized as one of the main constraints and ongoing challenges for the development of
    aquaculture.
    As an effective way to prevent various bacterial diseases, vaccines have played a key role in aquaculture disease control for decades, contributing to the sustainable development
    of the aquaculture industry.
    In addition, after millions of years of co-evolution, commensal flora has become an essential component of fish, playing a vital role
    in fish health and disease.
    Among them, the intestinal flora is involved in many important physiological processes of the fish body, such as promoting digestion and metabolism, stimulating the development of the immune system, and preventing the attachment and proliferation of conditional pathogenic bacteria
    .
     

    Given the vaccine's ability to induce systemic immunity and mucosal immunity, fish gut microbiome may be an important and underestimated factor
    in vaccine development.
    It has been noted medically that the composition of the intestinal flora affects the efficiency of the vaccine, but the effect of vaccination on the intestinal flora, especially the mucosal flora, is poorly
    understood.
    For example, does bacterial vaccination have a stabilizing effect on the intestinal flora? Does vaccination have an inhibitory effect on colonization and reproduction of specific pathogens in the intestines? And do changes in the gut microbiota from vaccination affect intestinal metabolism?
     

    The team of researcher Li Aihua of the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has long been engaged in the research of fish pathogenic microbiology, and has carried out a lot of research work in the field of aquatic animal symbiotic microorganisms in recent years, and has conducted in-depth research on the structure, composition and functional characteristics of aquatic economic animal symbiotic microorganisms such as fish, shrimp and crab Li et al.
    2015; Li et al.
    2017; Wu et al.
    2019; Wu et al.

    et al.
    2021), and revealed that the digestive system (gut, hepatopancreas, etc.
    ) symbiotic microorganisms and host immunity (
    Wu et al.
    2018; Hao
    et al.
    2022), metabolism (Li et al.
    2017; Wu et al.
    2018; Wu et al.
    2021a
    ) and disease (Li et al.
    2016; Wu et al.
    2021b; Zhang et al.
    2021
    ) expands the profound understanding of the assembly law of aquatic animal symbiotic microbial communities and their interaction with the host, and provides new ideas and important clues
    for the healthy breeding of aquatic animals and disease prevention and control.
     

    Recently, Li Aihua's research team took tilapia as the research object and adopted a multi-omics method to reveal the influence of vaccination on tilapia symbiotic flora, and found that changes in intestinal commensal flora induced by vaccination mediate changes in intestinal metabolism
    .
    This study sheds light on tilapia's microbial and metabolic responses to vaccination, providing new insights
    into the protective mechanisms of vaccines.
     

    The researchers evaluated changes in tilapia immune function, commensal microorganisms (gills, gastrointestinal mucosa and contents), and intestinal metabolites after intraperitoneal injection of a double inactivated vaccine (Aeromonas hydrophila-Aeromonas vitschii) and a 45-day culture experiment
    。 The study found that inactivated vaccines had a significant effect on the structure and composition of intestinal mucosal flora, but not on other commensal site flora, indicating that the effect of vaccination on fish commensal flora was regionally specific (Figure
    1).

    In addition, tilapia serum globulin, leukoglobulin ratio, lysozyme content, and superoxide dismutase activity were significantly increased in the immune group, and antibody titers
    were all detected.
    Compared with the control group
    , Escherichia-Shigella, Acinetobacter in the mucosa of the intestinal mucosa of tilapia in the immune group The relative abundance of potentially opportunistic pathogens such as Aeromonas has been significantly reduced, and this protective mechanism of vaccines may be important given that the gut is the main conduit for most pathogens to infect fish
    .
     

    Analysis of intestinal metabolites found that the concentrations of carbohydrate-related metabolites such as lactic acid, succinic acid and gluconic acid were significantly increased in the gut of tilapia in the immune group, while the concentrations of various lipid-related metabolites were significantly reduced in the gut of tilapia in the immune group (Figure 2), indicating that vaccination affected the metabolic function
    of tilapia intestine.

    Further analysis revealed that Enterovibrio, Macellibacteroides, and Ralstonia ), Desulfomonile, Enhydrobacter, Crenothrix and Bosea differential microorganisms were significantly correlated with gut differential metabolites (Figure 3), suggesting that the effect of vaccination on tilapia gut metabolism is closely
    related to changes in gut microbes.

    This study reveals the response of fish commensal flora to vaccination and its correlation with host immunity and metabolism, providing new insights
    for further study of the role of fish commensal flora in vaccine protection mechanism.
    In addition, gut microbes and metabolites that are significantly altered after vaccination can serve as potential indicators of probiotic (or prebiotic) development to enhance vaccine efficacy
    .
     

    The study was recently titled "Significant alterations of intestinal symbiotic microbiota induced by intraperitoneal vaccination mediate changes in intestinal metabolism of NEW Genetically.
    " Improved Farmed Tilapia (NEW GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus)"
