Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the type of extended-spectrum $\beta$-lactamases (ESBL) produced by bacteria isolated from the sewage of wastewater treatment plant at Minragdong, Suyong-gu in Busan. The facility is located at sushi restaurants and guides its drain water to the wastewater treatment plant at Yonghodong, Nam-gu in Busan. Samples were collected on January, 2009. A total of 19 strains were selected as potential ESBL positive strains through a double disk synergy test. On the basis of the results from biochemical tests including indole, methyl-red, Voges-Proskauer, Simmon's citrate, decarboxylase-dihydrolase and sugar-fermentation tests, the 19 strains were identified with 16 strains of Escherichia coli and 3 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Out of 19 strains, 4 transconjugants against Escherichia coli J53, which is sodium azide resistant recipient strain, were obtained. The plasmids isolated from transconjugants were used for PCR analysis. The type of each extended-spectrum $\beta$-lactamase (ESBL) produced by the strains was determined on the basis of isoelectric focusing analysis and DNA sequencing. The results indicated that the types of ESBL from Klebsiella pneumoniae were SHV-12 (3 strains), and Escherichia coli was SHV-12/TEM-1 (1 strain), respectively.
