초록

국내에서 사육중인 말에서 채취한 시료로부터 Stapylococcus aureus를 분리 동정한 결과 39.2%(58/148)의 분리율을 나타내었다. S. aureus의 혈장응고효소 생산능 시험에서는 98.3%가 양성반응을 나타내었고 신선 혈장의 희석농도는 1:2에서 가장 높은 양성반응을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 최종 동정된 S. aureus의 기본적인 생화학 성상은 일반적으로 알려져 있는 S. aureus의 특성과 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었으나, urease test의 경우 전체 균주의 73% 만이 양성 결과를 나타내어 균주별로 다양한 반응 양상을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 또한 34종의 substrate에 대한 분해 양상에 대한 검사 결과 fructose, maltose, ${\alpha}$-hydroxy butyric acid, thymidine-5'-mono phosphate, uridine-5'-mono phosphate 등의 substrate에 대해서는 모든 균주가 이용능력을 가지고 있었지만 ribose, sorbitol, xylose, xylitol 등의 substrate에 대해서는 모든 균주가 기질 이용능력을 가지고 있지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 PCR에 의한 S. aureus를 동정한 결과 108bp 크기의 band를 확인하였다. 국내 말에서 분리한 58주의 S. aureus에 대한 약제 내성 양상을 조사한 결과 spectinomycin, sulfonamides, erythromycin, tetracyclin, ciprofloxacin, neomycin, enofloxacin, penicillin 등의 약제에 높은 저항성을 나타내었다.

This study carried out to investigate the antimicrobial resistance and biochemical characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolated from reproductive and respiratory tract in Thoroughbred horse. The specimens were collected from equine vaginal mucosa and upper respiratory tract from March to December 2006 using a culture swab in Korea. S. aureus suspected colonies on blood agar plates were selected and identified as standard biochemical tests and PCR (Applied Biosystems, USA). Antimicrobial resistance test of S. aureus isolates was performed with 30 antimicrobial agents (BBL, USA) by using the agar disk diffusion method. S. aureus isolates were isolated 58 (39.2%) strains of 148 samples: wound 64.7% (11/17), genital discharge 37.0% (37/100) and nasal discharge 32.2% (10/31). Almost isolates showed high resistance to spectinomycin, sulfonamides, erythromycin, tetracyelin, ciprofloxacin and penicillin. These results may provide the basic information to establish strategies for treatment and prevention of reproductive and respiratory disease in Thoroughbred horses in Korea.
