The efficacy of cellular components of probiotics Kocuria SM1 and Rhodococcus SM2 to protect rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) against vibriosis was assessed. Groups of fish (average weight = 10–15 g) were immunized intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 0.1 ml of subcellular materials, i.e., 0.2 ± 0.05 mg protein per fish, comprising extracellular proteins (ECPs), cell wall proteins (CWPs) and whole cell proteins (WCPs) of SM1 and SM2, respectively, or with 0.1 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to serve as the control. Seven days after administration, fish from each group were challenged i.p. with 0.1 ml of a suspension in PBS of 3 × 10⁵ cells ml⁻¹ per fish of Vibrio anguillarum. Use of CWPs and WCPs demonstrated significantly (P < 0.05) better protection against V. anguillarum insofar as mortalities were reduced to 11–17% [relative percent survival (RPS) = 80–87%], although ECPs fared less well (mortalities = 33–38%; RPS = 56–62%; P > 0.05), compared to 86% mortalities of the controls. The mode of action reflected activation of innate immune factors by CWPs and WCPs, demonstrating significantly (P < 0.05) increased expression of respiratory burst (optical density; OD₅₅₀ₙₘ) from 0.039 to 0.043–0.045, peroxidase (OD₅₅₀ₙₘ) from 0.26 to 0.37–0.55, and bacterial killing activities (i.e., percentage of surviving bacteria reduced from 79% to 56–57% for SM2). Moreover, an elevation of leucocyte number (from 1.93% to 1.98–2.93%; P > 0.05) and immunoglubolin level (from 27 mg ml⁻¹ to 28.5–33 mg ml⁻¹; P > 0.05) were observed with the experimental groups. These results indicate that cell components of the probiotics stimulate an immune response.
