Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •Vibrio spp. are causing significant threats in the aquaculture and affect production with economic losses.•Biofilms of Vibrio spp. have more resistant against antimicrobial agents and host immune system.•The quorum sensing system has mediated the virulence factors and controlling biofilm formation in Vibrio spp.•Numerous biological composites have been tested as antibiofilm and anti-pathogenic agents against Vibrio spp. Aquaculture industries are the fastest food producing sector and are found globally to resolve the food demands of the fast growing human population. The aquaculture sector has typically been affected by the biofilm forming aquatic pathogens that lead to economic losses with seafood spoilage. Vibrio spp. are the most common and well known aquatic pathogens causing Vibriosis infections in aquatic animals. They are natural habitants of coastal and estuarine environments where they can be associated with aquatic animals. The biofilm forming Vibrio spp. pose increasing problems with the development of antibiotic resistance that causes severe threats in aquaculture. Although commercial antibiotics have been used for Vibrio spp., several natural and organic compounds have been reported against Vibrios biofilm infections. The specific structural genes and regulatory systems of the quorum sensing system mediate the biofilm formation in Vibrios.
