One of the main constraints in aquaculture production is farmed fish vulnerability to diseases due to husbandry practices or external factors like pollution, climate changes, or even the alterations in the dynamic of product transactions in this industry. It is though important to better understand and characterize the intervenients in the process of a disease outbreak as these lead to huge economical losses in aquaculture industries. High-throughput technologies like proteomics can be an important characterization tool especially in pathogen identification and the virulence mechanisms related to host-pathogen interactions on disease research and diagnostics that will help to control, prevent, and treat diseases in farmed fish. Proteomics important role is also maximized by its holistic approach to understanding pathogenesis processes and fish responses to external factors like stress or temperature making it one of the most promising tools for fish pathology research.

Abstract Background As many as 1 in 3 patients with bloodstream infections at community hospitals receive inappropriate empiric antimicrobial therapy. Studies have shown that the coupling of real-time intervention with rapid pathogen identification improves patient outcomes and decreases health-system costs at large, tertiary academic centers. The aim of this study was to assess if similar outcomes could be obtained with the implementation of real-time pharmacist intervention to rapid pathogen identification at two smaller, rural community hospitals. Methods This was a pre-post implementation study that occurred from September of 2019 to March 2020. This study included patients ≥18 years of age admitted with one positive blood culture. Patients were excluded if they were pregnant, had a polymicrobial blood culture, known culture prior to admission, hospice consulted prior to admission, expired prior to positive blood culture, or transferred to another hospital within 24 hours of a positive blood culture. Endpoints of patients prior to intervention were compared to patients post-implementation. The primary endpoint was time to optimal antimicrobial therapy. Secondary endpoints included time to effective antimicrobial therapy, in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, and overall cost of hospitalization. Results Of 212 patients screened, 88 patients were included with 44 patients in each group. Both groups were similar in terms of comorbidities, infection source, and causative microbial. No significant difference was seen in the mean time to optimal antimicrobial therapy (27.3±35.5 hr vs 19.4± 30 hr, p=0.265). Patients in the post-implementation group had a significantly higher mean hospitalization cost ($24,638.87± $11,080.91 vs $32,722.07±$13,076.73, p=0.013). There was no significant difference in time to effective antimicrobial therapy, in-hospital mortality, or length of hospital stay. Conclusion There were no between-group differences in the primary outcome of time to optimal therapy, with a higher mean hospitalization cost after implementation. These results suggest further antimicrobial stewardship interventions are needed, along with larger studies conducted in the community hospital settings.

The following fictional case is intended as a learning tool within the Pathology Competencies for Medical Education (PCME), a set of national standards for teaching pathology. These are divided into three basic competencies: Disease Mechanisms and Processes, Organ System Pathology, and Diagnostic Medicine and Therapeutic Pathology. For additional information, and a full list of learning objectives for all three competencies, see http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2374289517715040 . 1
