Abstract

최근 7월부터 9월사이 고수온기에 경남일대의 육상수조식 넙치양식장에서 8균주의 Staphylococcus epidermidis를 분리하여 이들의 생물학적 및 생화학적 특성을 알아보았다. 분리균주는 BHIA, HIA, Staphylococcus No. 110 및 ETGP에서 잘 발육하였으며, 식염농도 2.0~3.0%, $30^{\circ}C$ 전후 그리고 pH는 7.0 전후에서 발육상태가 좋았다. 또한 DNase, coagulase에는 전 균주가 음성이었으며, 용혈성은 FSJ-2균주만이 약한 음성을 나타내었고, ureas 양성, novobiocin 저항성에는 음성을 나타내었다. 탄수화물의 분해능에서 전 균주는 가스를 생산하지 않았고 혐기적 조건하에서 포도당과 maltose를 분해하였으며 mannitol은 FSJ-19균주만이 약하게 분해한 것을 제외하고는 전 균주가 음성이었다. 호기적 조건하에서 전 균주는 포도당, fructose, galactose, sucrose, maltose 및 dextrin을 분해하였다. 분리균주의 임상적인 주요 특성에서 8개의 균주는 4가지의 다른 biotype code를 나타내었으며, 약제 감수성 그룹에서도 4가지의 다른 패턴을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과는 Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology에 기재된 S. epidermidis의 coagulase, urease, DNase, $\beta$-galactosidase, novobiocin 저항성 및 포도당의 혐기적 분해성과 잘 일치하였고, 또한 Mickelsen et al.(1985)이 기재한 biotype과 약재 감수성 패턴이 잘 일치하여 본 분리균을 S. epidermidis로 동정하였다.

A total of 8 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated in land-marine tank system of Kyongnam and Kyongbuk. Prefecture were tested for the biological and biochemical characteristics. These strains were isolated from pathologic specimens of cultured flounder. Paralichthys olivaceus. Growth of the isolates was good on BHIA, HIA. Staphylococcus No. 110 and ETGP. Growth was good at NaCl concentration between 2.0 and 3.0%, about $30^{\circ}C$ and at pH values about 7.0. DNase and coagulase production were negative, and all isolates except FSJ-2 strain were positive in hemolysis. Urease was positive reaction, and novobiocin resistance was negative. Acid was produced anaerobically from glucose and maltose. All isolates except FSJ-19 strain produced weakly were negative in anaerobic acid production from mannitol. Acid was produced aerobically from glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, maltose and dextrine. But all isolates were not gas production. In characterization of clinically isolates, four different biotype codes were obtained when the all isolated were tested simultaneously. Four different antibiotic susceptibility patterns were obtained. On the basis of these characteristics, the isolates were identified as Staphylococcus epidermidis.
