초록

분변오염의 지표가 되는 장구균을 검출하기 위하여 장구균 선택 배지를 개발하였다. 기존에 알려진 여러 장구균 검출배지 중 총 9종류(Enterococci Confirmatory agar, Azide dextrose agar, Bromocresol-purple azide agar, Esculin bile agar, Citrate azide tween carbonate agar, KF Streptococcus agar, BROLACIN agar, Kanamycin esculin azide agar, Membrane filter Enterococcus selective agar)의 배지를 선별하였고, 배지 성분을 적절히 조합하여 새로운 배지 Enterococcus Mixed medium을 개발하였다. 배지의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 장구균 6종류(Enterococcus avium KACC 10788, Enterococcus faecium KACC 11954, Enterococcus saccharolyticus KACC 10783, Enterococcus durans KACC 10787, Enterococcus faecalis KACC 11304, Enterococcus hirae KACC 10779)와 비장구균 3종류(Escherichia coli KACC 10005, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus KACC 10768, Bacillus subtilis KACC 10111)를 사용하였다. 그 결과 새롭게 개발된 장구균 검출배지에서 비장구균의 생장이 억제된 반면에 장구균 6종류는 모두 생장하는 것을 확인하였다. 또 환경시료에서 장구균을 분리할 수 있는지 확인하기 위해 하천과 바다에서 채취해온 시료를 이용하여 실험한 결과 장구균의 생장을 확인하였다. 따라서 이 배지를 이용하면 수질 분변오염의 지표가 되는 장구균을 효과적으로 검출할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

An enterococci selective medium was developed to detect the presence of enterococci for use as a fecal contamination indicator. Among several media which have been known to detect enterococci, the following 9 different kinds of media were selected: Enterococci Confirmatory agar, Azide dextrose agar, Bromocresol-purple azide agar, Esculin bile agar, Citrate azide tween carbonate agar, KF Streptococcus agar, BROLACIN agar, Kanamycin esculin azide agar, and Membrane filter Enterococcus selective agar. Various components from the nine media were mixed to develop a more effective enterococcus selective medium. The newly developed medium named as 'Enterococcus Mixed medium' was more effective than the previous 9 media. Enterococci strains (Enterococcus avium KACC 10788, Enterococcus faecium KACC 11954, Enterococcus saccharolyticus KACC 10783, Enterococcus durans KACC 10787, Enterococcus faecalis KACC 11304, and Enterococcus hirae KACC 10779) and non-enterococci strains (Escherichia coli KACC 10005, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus KACC 10768, and Bacillus subtilis KACC 10111) were used to test the new medium. As a result, the enterococci strains grew well on the Enterococcus Mixed medium whereas the non-enterococci strains did not grow well on it. Additionally, growth of enterococci with freshwater and seawater samples was observed to be good on the Enterococcus Mixed medium. The result of this study confirmed that the Enterococcus Mixed medium was effective in detecting the target enterococci.
