| Özet |
| The skin of many fish species is covered with a layer of mucus that acts as a barrier between the fish and the environment. Mucus, which plays an important role in disease resistance, contains lectins along with many other components. Lectins are proteins with carbohydrate recognition and binding properties that are naturally produced by many organisms. Lectins take part in intercellular communication, pathogen-host relationship, and immune response by binding to specific carbohydrates on cell surfaces. In innate immune response, lectins increase opsonization by binding to pathogenic microorganisms. Moreover, many in vitro studies, as well as a few in vivo studies have shown that certain lectins can exhibit bactericidal effects without needing the presence of phagocytes. These effects occur by agglutination of bacteria, preventing biofilm formation or disrupting the cell wall structure. The antibacterial effects of fish mucus and fish lectins have been reported in many studies. In this review, some of these studies are summarized and the potential use of mucus and/or lectins as in vivo antimicrobial agents is evaluated. |
