Abstract

Endotoxin, also known as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produced by the cell wall of gram negative bacteria can be present in any liquid or on any biomaterial. Endotoxin in blood can cause fever and inflammation. In this study, we compared bacterial endotoxin using Escherichia coli O157:H7, Klebsiella oxytoca, Salmonella Typhi, Shigella sonnei and Morganella morganii. Bacteria were cultured for use in the experiment, and diluted to $1.5{\times}10^8CFU/mL$. A check marked sensitivity confirmatory test of the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) reagent was performed to examine the validity. The end point reaction to each bacteria sample was confirmed with 10 fold dilution and then the final reaction end point was confirmed by 2 fold dilution between the dilution step and the upper dilution step. According to the results, in detection of endotoxins in more than 0.015 EU/mL, E. coli O157 was 75~37.5 CFU/mL, K. oxytoca 37.5~18.75 CFU/mL, M. morganii and S. Typhi 3.75~1.875 CFU/mL, and S. sonnei 7.5~3.75 CFU/mL. The resulting value was finally ensured by a confirmation test for the inhibitory factor. Based on this study, conduct of further research on bacterial endotoxin is encouraged.

세균내독소는 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)라고 불리우며, 그람음성 세균의 세포벽에 존재하는 물질로 어느 생체재료나 액체에 존재할 수 있다. 세균내독소가 혈액으로 침투되면 발열 및 염증을 유발시킨다. 본 연구에서는 장내 그람음성세균인 Escherichia coli O157:H7, Klebsiella oxytoca, Salmonella Typhi, Shigella sonnei, Morganella morganii의 LPS 양을 비교하려 하였다. 각 세균은 배양한 후 $1.5{\times}10^8CFU/mL$ 농도로 희석하여 동일한 농도로 하였으며 실험의 정당성을 위하여 LAL시약의 표시감도확인시험을 진행하였다. 10 fold dilution 후 1차 시험을 하여 각 균의 반응 end point를 확인하고 바로 윗단계 희석배수 사이에서 2 fold dilution하여 균의 최종 반응 end point를 확인하였다. 결과적으로 E. coli O157은 75~37.5 CFU/mL, K. oxytoca는 37.5~18.75 CFU/mL, M. morganii와 S. Typhi는 3.75~1.875 CFU/mL, S. sonnei는 7.5~3.75 CFU/mL에서 0.015 EU/mL 이상의 endotoxin이 검출되었다. 최종적으로 억제인자에 대한 확인시험을 진행하여 결과값을 보증하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 세균내독소에 대한 추가적인 연구가 지속되기를 기원한다.
