Abstract

Thirty five Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains were isolated from diarrheic patients and pigs in Gyeongbuk area from 2003 to 2004. All 35 strains (17 strains from diarrheic patients and 18 from pigs) were resistant to more than one drug and most of strains isolated from pigs were resistant to ampicillin, ohloram-phenicol, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprime, tetracyclin and nalidixic acid. Each isolate was also screened or the presence of class I, II and III integron gene cassettes. Among 35 strains,3 out of 17 strains isolated from diarrheic patients, carried dhfrX-orfF-aadA2 integron gene cassette and among 18 strains isolated from diseased pigs, 11 strains carried dhfrX-orfF-aadA2 integron gene cassette and 1 strain carried aadA2 integron only. But any class II and class II integron gene cassette were not detected in 35 strains. Thirty five strains were divided by five pulsotypes. Thirty one strains out of thirty five were pulsotype A. Among the remaining 4 strains, one each strain belonged to pulsotype B, C, D and pulsotype E. This data of pulsotypes showed that the widespread of pulsotype A, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in human and pigs in Gyeongbuk area may have been caused by the dissemination of a few epidemic strains in this area. Thirteen strains contain dhfrX-orfF-aadA2 integron gene cassette showed pulsotype A and one strain contains dhfrX-orfF-aadA2 integron gene cassette showed pulsotype B. One strain contains aadA2 integron showed pulsotype E. But fifteen strains do not contain any integron showed pulsotype A.

2003년부터 2004년까지 정북지역에서 발생한 설사환자로부터 17주, 돼지로부터 18주 등 총 35주의 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium이 분리되었고, 분리된 균주를 대상으로 항균제 내성양상, class I integron 특성 및 pulse-field gel electrophoresis유형(PFGE 유형; pulsotype)이 조사되었다. 35주 모두가 한가지 이상의 항균제에 내성을 나타내었고, 돼지로부터 분리된 대부분의 균주는 ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprime, tetracyclin, nalidixic acid에 내성을 나타내었다. 35주를 대상으로 class I, II 및 III integron gene cassette를 검색한 결과, 설사환자로부터 분리된 17주 중 3주가 dhfrX-orfF-aadA2 integron gene cassette을 보유하였고, 돼지로부터 분리된 18주중 11주가 dhfrX-orfF-aadA2 integron gene cassette를, 1주가 aadA2 integron을 보유하였다. 그러나 35주 모두가 class 2 integron gene cassette와 class 3 integron gene cassette는 보유하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 35주의 PEGE 유형은 5가지로 분류되었으며, 31주가 pulsotype A로 나머지 4주는 pulsotype B, C, D, E형으로 각각 나뉘어졌다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 경북지역에서 사람과 돼지에서의 S. enterica serovar Typhimurium에 의한 살모넬라중은 몇 종류 유행주의 전파에 의한 것임을 보여줄다. dhfrX-orfF-aadA2 integron gene cassette를 보유한 13주가 pulsotype A, dhfrX-orfF-aadA2 integron gene cassette을 보유한 1주가 pulsotype B, aadA2 integron을 보유한 1주가 pulsotype E, integron을 보유하고 있지 않은 15주가 pulsotype A로 나타났다.
