Bacterial communities and signatures in the stomach and intestine of juvenile P enaeus (litopenaeus) vannamei shrimp affected by acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease.

ABSTRACT: Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis (AHPND) is a severe bacterial disease affecting farmed shrimp. Although various pathogenic bacteria associated with AHPND-affected shrimp have been described, little is known about the bacterial signatures in the stomachs and intestines when the disease occurs naturally. In this study, we characterized the microbiome of P. vannamei by high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Shrimp samples were collected from a commercial farm and divided into two groups: healthy and affected by AHPND, confirmed by PCR. Stomach and intestine samples were subjected to microbiome analysis targeting the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. PERMANOVA analysis revealed a significant disparity in the bacterial diversity between the stomach and intestine microbiomes of these t
