Microbial infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi pose significant global health threats in diverse environments. While conventional disinfection methods are effective, their reliance on frequent chemical applications raises concerns about resistance environmental impact. Photodynamic self-disinfecting surfaces have emerged as a promising alternative. These incorporate photosensitizers that, when exposed to light, produce reactive oxygen species target eliminate microbial pathogens. This review explores the concept mechanism of photodynamic surfaces, highlighting variety characteristics integrated into range light sources used across different applications. It also highlights effectiveness these against broad spectrum pathogens, including fungi, while discussing potential for providing continuous antimicrobial protection without reapplication. Additionally, addresses both advantages limitations associated with concludes future perspectives advancing this technology meet ongoing challenges infection control.

The importance of the gastrointestinal microbiota (GM) in health and disease is widely recognized. Although less known fish than mammals, advances molecular techniques, such as 16S rRNA sequencing, have facilitated characterization GM, comprising resident autochthonous transient allochthonous bacteria. microbial diversity composition are strongly influenced by diet. High-protein diets, including alternative ingredients like plant insect proteins, modify impacting beneficial bacteria e.g. Cetobacterium . Lipids affect metabolism short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, while excessive carbohydrates can disrupt GM balance, causing enteritis. Dietary additives, probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, effectively modulate GM. Probiotics enhance immunity growth, prebiotics support bacteria, though effective against pathogens, may promote antibiotic resistance. Environmental factors, temperature, salinity, pollution, significantly influence Elevated temperatures salinity shifts alter composition, pollutants introduce toxins that compromise intestinal function diversity. Stress pathogen infections further destabilize often favoring pathogenic communicates with host via metabolites SCFAs, bile acids, neurotransmitters, regulating appetite, energy metabolism, immunity, neural functions. Additionally, influences immune system interacting epithelial cells stimulating responses. Despite recent advances, research needed to elucidate species-specific mechanisms underlying GM-host interactions, ecological implications diversity, its applications aquaculture optimize performance.
