    While fish pathogens are not typically a risk to human health, there are other vectors of contamination that must be considered. Birds, mice, and humans can introduce pathogens either directly onto the plants or into the culture system. Probiotics added to the culture water may competitively exclude pathogenic bacteria by actively altering existing microbial communities.

    While fish pathogens are not typically a risk to human health, there are other vectors of contamination that must be considered. Birds, mice, and humans can introduce pathogens either directly onto the plants or into the culture system. Probiotics added to the culture water may competitively exclude pathogenic bacteria by actively altering existing microbial communities. Researchers evaluated the effects of a probiotic mix containing equal parts Pediococcus spp., Bacillus subtilis, and Lactobacillus acidophilus in aquaponic systems. Colonies of interest included Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Vibrio spp., and Listeria monocytogenes.
    Results indicated that the probiotic mix had no significant effect (P <0.05) on plant growth and development, or the presence of food safety indicator organisms on the consumable portion plants, or in the culture water. However, fish growth in systems treated with the probiotic mix was more significant (P >0.05) than fish that did not receive the treatment.
