Abstract

EDTA is known to have bacteriocidal effect on Vibrio vulnificus, pathogen of septicemia by osmotic shock in seafoods. Attempts were made to elucidate the bacteriocidal effect of phytic acid (PA) as a substitute for EDTA against V. vulnificus and its inhibition effect on the septicemia, which induces liver damage of the mice by the pathogen. Viable cells of V. vulnificus with the initial titre of $1.7{\times}10^6$ c.f.u. $ml^{-1}$ decreased by 90.6% after 1 min and 99.6% after 5 min in distilled water. The titre decreased by 65.9% and 94.5% in 2 mM solution of $Mg^{2+}$. In 0.1 mM solution of PA, the rate of decrease in titre was 97.4% after 1 min of incubation and 99.8% after 5 min, compared to 95.7% and 99.8% in 0.1 mM solution of EDTA. The bacteriocidal effect of PA solution at a concentration of 1 mM was marked: the rate of decrease in titre was 99.9% after 1 min. In relation to the bacteriocidal effect, PA was evaluated as a potential therapeutic agent for V. vulnificus septicemia in mouse. When the survival periods of mice were investigated by PA and EDTA treatment after the pathogen injection, the group of mice which infected by a low concentration of the strain survived longer than that inoculated at high concentration; also, the ratio of survival was 1.3 times higher in PA than in EDTA, showing that the fatal rate depended on the inoculation concentration. Although survival periods of mice induced with liver damage by carbon tetrachloride and then inoculated with the strain showed a similar trend, the fatal rate of mice was 2 times faster than those inoculated with only pathogen into normal liver, These results indicate that the infection by V. vulnificus was more fatal to those with liver disease. Also, symptoms of hemorrhage and inflammation on the mice with induced liver damage were reduced in case there was phytic acid treatment at each concentration.

EDTA의 대체제로서 천연 Phytic acid(PA)가 비브리오 패혈증을 일으키는 호염성 세균 vibrio vulnificus에 대한 살균효과와 간 손상을 유발시킨 마우스의 V. vulnificus 패혈증에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. V. vulnificus는 증류수 내에서는 1분 후 90.6%, 3분 후 98.4% 및 5분 후 99.6%의 높은 사멸율을 나타낸 반면에, $MgCl_2$ 용액 중에서는 접종 후 1분에서 65.9%, 3분에서 69.8%, 5분에서 94.5%로서 $Mg^{2+}$ 이온에 의하여 삼투압 쇼크가 다소 완화되는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 EDTA 및 PA 용액 중에서는 0.1 mM 농도의 경우 PA에서 사멸율이 약간 높았으나 1 mM 농도에서는 두 처리군 모두 1분 후 99.9%의 높은 사멸율을 보임으로서 EDTA와 PA 처리간에는 유의차를 인정 할 수 없었다. V. vulnificus 감염에 의한 패혈증 유발시험에서 고농도 보다 저농도로 접종시 마우스의 생존시간이 더 연장되었으며, 접종 후 생존율 연장효과는 PA 처리군이 EDTA 처리군 보다 1.3배까지 높게 나타났다. 이 결과는 사염화탄소로 간 손상을 유발시킨 마우스에 있어서도 비슷한 경향이었으나, 치사속도가 단순 접종처리군에 비해 2배 이상 빠른 결과를 보임으로서 간장 질환 등의 기저질환자가 V. vulnificus에 감염될 때 더욱 치명적임을 말 수 있었다. 모든 조직소견은 정도의 차이는 있으나 사염화탄소로 간 손상을 유발시킨 마우스의 경우, 간, 폐 및 신장 등에서 심한 출혈, 울혈, 문맥 간 염증 및 괴사 등의 소견을 보였으며, PA를 농도 별로 처리 했을 경우 이러한 출혈 및 염증이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.
