Abstract
To obtain antibiotic resistant profiles of Bifidobacterium, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 14 antibiotics for 93 Bifidobacterium isolates from Korean intestine origin were determined. All strains tested were sensitive to chloramphenicol, rifampicin, and amoxicillin, whereas resistant to aminoglycoside family, nalidixic acid, and vancomycin. Among vancomycin-resistant strains, 34% were resistant at more than $100\;{\mu}g/mL$, and showed variant resistances toward tetracycline, erythromycin, and penicillin. Their resistances against penicillin, cephalothin, and tetracycline were higher than ten years ago. MIC of ten isolates from commercial yoghurt products were very similar to those of strains from Korean intestine origin, and 20% strains showed resistance at higher than $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ vancomycin. These results indicated patterns of antibiotic resistance against Bifidobacterium from Korean intestine origin and commercial yoghurts were very similar,and prevalence of vancomycin resistance for Bifidobacterium was 20%. To develop new probiotic, antibiotic resistance of vancomycin and risks involved should be evaluated.
