The antibacterial activity of aqueous (AE) or ethanolic extracts (EE) of caper (Capparis spinosa) against Streptococcus agalactiae was evaluated in vitro. Both caper extracts showed antagonistic activity against S. agalactiae and the inhibition zones in case of ethanolic extracts were larger than those of aqueous ones. Additionally, TEM investigations show that S. agalactiae cells treated with both C. spinosa extracts were damaged and degraded and this damage was greater in case of ethanolic extract. Another study was done to assess the promotion effects of dietary caper (C. spinosa) extracts on growth, antioxidant and immune activity, and inflammation cytokine responses of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and its resistance to S. agalactiae infection. However, fish (40 ± 2 g) were fed on diets containing 1.0 and 2.0 g/kg feed of each caper extract as well as the control group (free of caper) for 6 weeks. Fish were intraperitoneally injected (IP) with Streptococcus agalactiae at the end of the feeding trial, and fish mortality was tracked for additional ten days. Compared with other treatments, fish fed on 2.0 g EE/kg feed had higher counts of white and red blood cells as well as higher hemoglobin levels accompanied with lower AST and ALT activities. Antioxidant (superoxide dismutase and catalase activities) and immune, total protein, globulin, lysozyme, and immunoglobulin M) indices were increased along with significant decline in MDA levels in both caper extracts treated fish groups compared to the control group. Significant promotion in fish growth was affected positively with the increase in both caper extracts; particularly, the larger fish growth was observed in the treatment of 2.0 g EE/kg feed. Expressions of IL-1β and IL-8 were declined; meanwhile levels of IL-10, SOD and CAT genes were upregulated in fish fed on 2.0 g EE/kg feed compared to other groups. After being challenged with S. agalactiae infection, fish survival was considerably (P < 0.05) greater in fish groups that fed on diets with caper extracts; particularly 2.0 g EE/kg feed (75%); while all fish fed on the control one were dead. According to these findings, the antioxidant and immune response of Nile tilapia fingerlings is stimulated by ethanolic extract of caper (2.0 g/kg feed), which also enhanced the growth performance and fish resistance to S. agalactiae infection. •Nile tilapia were fed on 0.0, 1.0 and 2.0 g/kg feed of aqueous (AE) or ethanolic extracts (EE) of caper for 6 weeks.•Highest antioxidant and immune response was observed in the 2.0 g EE/kg feed group compared with other groups.•Expression of IL-1β and IL-8 genes declined; while levels of IL-10, SOD and CAT genes upregulated in fish fed on 2.0 g EE/kg feed.•Fish fed on 2.0 g EE/kg feed were more resistant to S. agalactiae infection compared with other groups.•Significant promotion in fish growth was observed in EE > AE > the control fish groups; particularly at 2.0 g EE/kg feed.
