Abstract

Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus are known to be infected to human via fisheries products. Therefore, food safety of fisheries products is important for public health and fish industry. This paper was conducted to know how well these human isolates can survive in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). The growth of V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus showed about 50~60% reduced rates at 25℃ than at 37℃ and did not show any differences according to NaCl concentration of media except the increasing in the growth of V. vulnificus in medium containing 3% NaCl. Artificial infection of 1×106 CFU/fish was carried out to confirm the sensitivity of olive flounder against V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus. After 1 week from injection, no fish was dead. To evaluate nonspecific defense of olive flounder against V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus, the antibacterial potency of serum and epidermal mucus were tested. The number of the vibrios exposed to serum obtained from olive flounder significantly decreased after 3 hours, and epidermal mucus showed decrease of the bacteria over than 90% until 12 hours from exposure. Phagocytosis of head kidney leucocytes of healthy olive flounder against V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus showed in over 70% of leucocytes at the 2 hours. Therefore, cultured olive flounder only as vehicle for human pathogen in environmental water is well developed its antibacterial potency against human pathogens, so the viability of V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus in cultured olive flounder was considered very low.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus와 V. vulnificus 같은 인체 위해성 세균들은 수산물을 통하여 인체에 감염되는 것으로 알려져 있음으로 생선회로 선호도가 높은 넙치에서 이들 세균이 어느 정도 생존 가능한지 알아보고자 하였다. 먼저 온도와 염분 농도가 다른 배지에서 이들 세균의 생장도를 조사하였다. 37℃ 에서 보다 25℃에서 V. parahaemolyticus와 V. vulnificus는 약 50~60% 감소한 생장률을 보였다. 그러나 1%, 2% 및 3% NaCl을 함유한 배지로 25℃에서 배양하였을 때의 생장은 3% NaCl을 함유한 배지에서 V. vulnificus가 증가된 생장을 보인 것을 제외하고 차이는 없었다. V. parahaemolyticus와 V. vulnificus에 대한 넙치의 감수성을 알아보기 위하여 1×106CFU/fish로 복강 주사하여 인위 감염을 하였으나 1주일간 사망 개체는 없었다. V. parahaemolyticus와 V. vulnificus에 대한 넙치의 방어능력을 알아보기 위하여 넙치의 혈청 및 체표 점액에서의 세균 생존력과 신장에서 분리한 macrophage의 식균 활성을 알아보았다. 혈청에서는 3시간 이내에 각각 85%, 99% 이상의 균이 제거되었고 체표 점액에서는 12시간까지 세균 수가 감소하였으며 신장백혈구는 약 70% 이상에서 식균 작용을 나타냈다. 따라서 넙치는 환경 수에 있는 V. parahaemolyticus와 V. vulnificus에 대한 단순 이동매개체로 작용한다 할지라도 발달된 자체 항균력으로 이들 세균의 수를 감소시켜 인체 감염 가능성을 저하하는 효과가 있음을 시사하였다.
