| contents | Antibiotic type and dose variably affect microbiomes of a disease-resistant Acropora cervicornis genotype. Patton, Sunni Silva, Denise P Fuques, Eddie Klinges, Grace Muller, Erinn M Thurber, Rebecca L Vega As coral diseases become more prevalent and frequent, the need for new intervention strategies also increases to counteract the rapid spread of disease. Recent advances in coral disease mitigation have resulted in increased use of antibiotics on reefs, as their application may halt disease lesion progression. Although efficacious, consequences of deliberate microbiome manipulation resulting from antibiotic administration are less well-understood- especially in non-diseased corals that appear visually healthy. Therefore, to understand how apparently healthy corals are affected by antibiotics, we investigated how three individual antibiotics, and a mixture of the three, impact the microbiome structure and diversity of a disease-resistant Caribbean staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) genotype. Over a 96-hour, aquarium-based antibiotic exposure experiment, we collected and processed coral tissue and water samples for 16S rRNA gene analysis. We found that antibiotic type and dose distinctively impact microbiome alpha diversity, beta diversity, and community composition. In experimental controls, microbiome composition was dominated by an unclassified bacterial taxon from the order Campylobacterales, while each antibiotic treatment significantly reduced the relative abundance of this taxon. Those taxa that persisted following antibiotic treatment largely differed by antibiotic type and dose, thereby indicating that antibiotic treatment may result in varying potential for opportunist establishment. Together, these data suggest that antibiotics induce microbiome dysbiosis- hallmarked by the loss of a dominant bacterium and the increase in taxa associated with coral stress responses. Understanding the off-target consequences of antibiotic administration is critical not only for informed, long-term coral restoration practices, but also for highlighting the importance of responsible antibiotic dissemination into natural environments. |
