Abstract

In this study, a total of 256 samples of retail raw meats (beef, pork and chicken) and sashimi were investigated for the presence of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium. We isolated a total of 117 E. faecalis and E. faecium from the samples, with contamination rates ranging from 18.8% for sashimi samples to 68.8% of chicken samples. E. faecalis was the predominant species recovered from all of the retail raw meats beef (42.2%), pork (42.2%), chicken (65.6%) and sashimi (12.5%). Among 117 isolates, 61 isolates (52.1%) were resistant to tetracycline, 32 isolates (27.4%) were resistant to erythromycin, 23 isolates (19.7%) were resistant to chloramphenicol, 16 isolates (13.7%) were resistant to ripampin, 10 isolates (8.5%) were resistant to gentamycin, 9 isolates (7.7%) were resistant to ciprofloxacin and 1 isolate (0.9%) was resistant to ampicillin and penicillin G. No resistance to amoxicillin + clavulanic acid and vancomycin was observed. Although no strain was resistant to vancomycin, the vanB gene was observed in 9 of 117 of Enterococcus (7.7%) demonstrating potential risk of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE). Our results indicate that E. faecalis and E. faecium were highly prevalent in retail raw meats, but most strains were sensitive to tested antibiotics.

본 연구에서는 서울시내 256곳의 판매점에서 구입한 축산물 및 수산물에서 Enterococcus faecalis 와 Enterococcus facium을 분리하였으며 분리된 균주의 항생제 내성양상과 vancomycin 내성 유전자 보유여부를 검증하였다. 총 256개 시료 중 117개에서 E. faecalis(40.6%)와 E. faecium(5.1%)가 검출되어 45.7%의 분리율을 나타내었다. 축산물은 192개 중 105개 균주가 분리되어 54.7%의 분리율을 나타내었는데 닭고기에서 가장 높은 68.8%의 분리율을, 돼지고기에서 50.0%의 분리율을, 쇠고기에서 45.3%의 분리율을 나타내었다. 횟감어류에서는 18.8%의 분리율을 나타내었다. 분리된 균주에 대한 항생제 내성 양상은 10종의 항생제 디스크를 이용하여 검증하였다. Tetracycline의 내성률이 52.1%로 가장 높았으며, erythromycin의 내성률이 27.4%로 두 번째로 높게 나타났다. Ampicillin과 penicillin는 1개의 균주를 제외하고는 모두 감수성을 보였으며, amoxicillin & clavulanic acid에는 모든 균주가 감수성을 보였다. Vancomycin에는 모든 균주가 감수성을 보여 VRE는 검출되지 않았다. 분리된 균주의 vancomycin 내성유전자의 검출은 multiplex PCR을 이용하여 vanA gene과 vanB gene 보유여부를 확인하였다. vanA gene이 검출된 균주는 없었으나, vancomycin에 감수성을 나타내던 9개의 균주에서 vanB gene이 검출되어 VRE균 출현의 잠재적인 가능성을 보여주었다.
