Fructose Promotes Crucian Carp Survival Against Aeromonas hydrophila Infection.

ABSTRACT: Aquatic food is becoming an important food source that provides micronutrients to human beings. The decline of wild aquatic animals makes aquaculture become increasingly important to play this role. However, infectious diseases, especially bacterial infection, represent severe threat to aquaculture, which causes huge economic loss. Meanwhile, strategies in managing bacterial infection in an antibiotic-independent way are still lacking. In this study, we monitor the metabolomic shift of crucian carp upon Aeromonas hydrophila infection. We find that the metabolism of the fish that died of infection is distinct from the ones that survived. By multivariate analysis, we identify fructose as a crucial biomarker whose abundance is significantly different from the dying and surviving groups
