Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogene of major concern in livestock products. This study was conducted to test imported and domestic meat sold by retail stores for the presence S. aureus. In addition, the antibiotic susceptibility of any S. aureus found was also evaluated. The overall isolation rate of S. aureus was 20.2% (13.9% in pork and 33.8% in beef) in retail meats. The percentage of imported meats found to contain S. aureus (33.3% in pork and 40.4% in beef) was higher than that of domestic meat (13.0% in pork and 14.7% in beef). In addition, the detection rate of S. aureus was higher in raw material meat than in ready to cook packaged meat. When the antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus isolated from the meat products was evaluated, ampicillin was found to be the highest (76.5%), followed by penicillin (75.3%), tetracycline (27.1%) and erythromycin (21.2%). Penicillin and tetracycline resistant were detected in 55.6% and 13.3% of the beef isolates, respectively, and 97.5% and 42.5% of the pork isolates, respectively. The tetracycline and erythromycin resistant plasmids of the isolated strain were transferred into S. aureus DPRMM2429 by the filter mating method and the frequencies of transfer was found to be $1.1{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}1.9{\times}10^{-9}$ and $1.2{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}4.0{\times}10^{-8}$ respectively.

국내 유통 중인 우육 및 돈육을 대상으로 S. aureus의 오염실태와 검출된 S. aureus 대한 항생제 감수성조사 및 내성 plasmid 전달빈도를 조사하였다. 총 421개 축산물 시료의 20.2%에서 S. aureus가 검출되었으며, 품목별로는 돈육 13.9%, 우육 33.8%의 검출률을 보였다. 가공 전 원료육이 포장육에 비해 S. aureus의 검출률이 높았는데, 돈육에서는 원료육 23.3%, 포장육 7.1%였고, 우육에서는 각각 48.6% 및 28.1%였다. 항생제 감수성 시험결과 ampicillin(76.5%), penicllin(75.3%), tertracycline(27.1%) 및 erythromycin (21.1%) 순으로 높은 내성률을 보였다. 특히 우육에서는 penicillin의 내성이 55.6%인 반면 돈육에서는 97.5%로 돈육에서 1.6배 이상의 높은 내성률을 보였고, tetracycline의 경우 우육에서 13.3%의 내성을 보인 반면, 돈육에서는 42.5%로 3배 이상의 내성률을 보였다. 8가지 항생제에 내성을 보이는 다제내성균도 검출되었으며, 약제내성과 관련된 Rplasmid의 특성시험에서 혼합배양에서는 내성이 전달되지 않았고, filter mating법에서 tetracycline내성 plasmid가 $1.1{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}1.9{\times}10^{-9}$의 빈도로, erythromycin 내성 plasmid가 $1.2{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}4.0{\times}10^{-8}$ 빈도로 내성이 전달되었다. 따라서 국내에서는 항생제투입의 정량적인 규제나 법적인 제도장치의 마련이 시급하다고 생각되며 앞으로 항생제 사용규제 및 대책마련에 대한 추가적인 연구가 절실하다고 생각되었다.
