초록

첨연어(Oncorhynchus keta)는 한국에서 회귀하는 연어로 종 보존을 위해 경상북도 울진군에 위치한 수산자원공단에서 해수 순치하며 종묘 생산하였다. 그러나, 사육 중이던 첨연어 치어에서 세균성 질병에 감염된 증상을 보이며 폐사하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 2021년 10월경에 사육환경에 따라 구분된 첨연어로부터 원인체를 규명하고자 세균을 분리하였다. 분리된 세균은 16S rDNA, rpoD (RNA polymerase sigma factor σ70) 및 vapA (A-layer)의 염기서열을 기반으로 유전학적으로 동정하고, 추가로 염분에 따른 성장, 생화학적 특성 분석, 항생제 감수성 및 병원성 인자를 분석하여 균주를 특성화하였다. 그 결과, 분리된 4개의 균주는 모두 Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida 아종으로 동정하였다. 또한, 분리된 균주는 염분의 농도가 증가할수록 배지에서 성장이 감소하였다. 생화학적 특성 분석에서 분리된 4개 균주는 용혈성이 확인되지 않았고, 모두 같은 생화학적인 성상을 나타냈다. 항생제 감수성 분석에서는 oxolinic acid, flumequine 그리고 florfenicol에 대한 항생제에서 40~44 mm 억제대를 형성하였다. 병원성 인자의 발현 분석은 mRNA 수준에서 RT-PCR로 확인되었으며, 4개 균주는 모두 A. salmonicida의 병원성에 크게 기여한다고 잘 알려진 outer membrane ring of T3SS (ascV), inner membrane ring of T3SS (ascC), vapA, enterotoxin (act) 및 lipase (lip) 유전자가 발현되었다. 이 연구에서 분리된 A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida의 특성 분석은 해수에 순치된 첨연어에서 발병하는 절창병을 예방하기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) is a species which returns to Korea for spawning and was produced as seed production at the Fisheries Resources Agency located in Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do to preserve the species. However, farmed chum salmon showed symptoms of bacterial infection. Therefore, in this study, bacteria were isolated to identify the causative agent from chum salmon in October 2021. The isolated bacteria were identified based on the sequences of 16S rDNA, rpoD (RNA polymerase sigma factor σ70), and vapA (A-layer) genes. Also, salinity-growth curve, biochemical characterization, antibiotic susceptibility test, and pathogenicity analysis were performed in four strains. As a result, four isolated strains were identified as Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida. Additionally, the bacterial strains showed a decrease in growth as the salt concentration increased in the medium. All of the isolated strains exhibited γ-hemolysis, and the same biochemical properties. In the antimicrobial susceptibility test, all strains showed an inhibition zone of 40 to 44 mm for oxolinic acid, flumequine, and florfenicol. Pathogenic factors were assessed by RT-PCR at the mRNA level, and found that the four strains expresses the outer membrane ring of T3SS (ascV), inner membrane ring of T3SS (ascC), vapA, enterotoxin (act), and lipase (lip) genes which are well known to significantly contribute to the pathogenicity of A. salmonicida. The results of this study can be used as basic data to prevent A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida occurring in sea-chum salmon in the future.
