Pediococcus acidilactici MA-18-5M (Bactocell PA) is a lactic acid bacterium studied primarily in veterinary and aquaculture applications. Research has examined its effects on immune function, growth performance, and stress resistance in livestock and fish species including rainbow trout, zebrafish, and penaeid shrimp. Recent animal studies have investigated mechanisms involving oxidative stress and inflammatory pathway modulation. The strain has regulatory approval as a feed additive in the European Union for multiple animal species.
