A bacterium, pathogenic to Nilaparvata lugens Stal. causing high mortality in 3~5 days, were selected and identified as Serratuz marcescens biotype A2a which is not a nosocomlally infective strain. In order to determine the characters of Serratia marcesce'1lS associated with insect pathogenicity, Tn5 mutagenesis was carried out by conjugating with E. coli pJB4J1. Transconjugants were plate-assayed for missing chitinase, protease and DNase activity. A protease negative mutant was selected for missing JOseet pathogenicity. SEM and TEM revealed the presence of bacterial cells in the epithelial tissue of inner abdomal tissue of the hypodermic layer of abdomen. Such a colonization was limmited to the subjacent tissue inside the intacL cuticular epidermis. These observation supported our result of pathogenicity tests of transconjugants.

건강한 닭은 병원성 미생물에 대하여 자연적인 저항성을 가지고 있다. 이것은 숙주상태와 장관사이에 서로 밀접한 협력장치가 있기 때문이며 건강한 병아리는 부화된 후 지속적으로 장관내에서 정상적인 세균총을 형성한다.

신선 채소류 편의식품에 관련된 병원성 세균으로는 Listeria monocy togenes, Yersinia enterocolytica,A eromonas hydrophila 등이 포함된다. 이들 제품은 미생물(병원성 및 비병원성)을 감소시키거나 사멸시키기 위해 별도의 살균 또는 항균제재를 사용하지 않기 때문에 초기 원료에 존재하거나 혹은 가공 및 유통 과정에서 오염된 미생물이 제품에 그대로 존재할 수 있다. 따라서 이들 제품에서는 병원성 세균이 발견될 수도 있으며, 특히 냉장유통 중 온도조절이 불완전할 경우 그 가능성이 더욱 높아지므로 신선 편의식 채소류 제품에 대해서는 보다 철저한 위생관리가 필요하다. 이러한 측면에서 위해 요소 중점관리기법(Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point, HACCP)을 적용하면 미생물학적 안전성을 확보할수 있다. HACCP이란 특정 제품의 수확에서 소비까지 전 공정에 대해 위해 요소를 검토하고, 이를 조절하기 위한 특별한 수단을 규정하는 관리기법이다. 본 연구에서는 HACCP의 7가지 기본 원칙을 정리하여 실제 대파(green onion)의 최소가공 과정에 적용함으로서 미생물학적 안전성을 확보하고자 시도한 사례를 중심으로 검토하였다.

A bacterial brown stripe disease new to Korea was noted for the first time on rice seedlings grown in the nursery pots and in a field nursery. Artificial hypodermic injection and pricking inoculation with isolates obtained from lesions of naturally infected plants produced symptoms similar to those occurring under natural condition. Among eleven species of ten genera of gramineous plants Echinochloa crusgalli, Digitaria sanguinalis and Setaria viridis were the new hosts for the pathogen. On the basis of bacteriological and biochemical tests of isolates from infected rice seedlings, the causal bacterium is considered to be Pseudomonas avenae Manns.

Purpose: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common serious bacterial infections in young infants. Lumbar puncture (LP) has been used to diagnose coexisting meningitis in infants under 90 days of age with suspected UTI in many hospitals. However, the incidence of bacterial meningitis associated with UTIs is low. We aimed to describe the prevalence of concomitant bacterial meningitis in young infants with UTIs. Methods: The medical records of infants with the first episode of UTI admitted to the Chung-Ang University Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Infants aged < 90 days who underwent LP with initial evaluation were included. Demographic and clinical features, laboratory findings, and imaging findings were collected and analyzed. Results: Eighty-six infants with UTIs were enrolled in the study. The median age was 61.5 days (interquartile range, 42.3-73.8 days) and boys (90.7%) were predominant. Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen (n=80, 93.0%) and followed by Klebsiella species (n=5, 5.8%). Fifteen (18.1%) specimens produced extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL). Five (5.8%) infants had positive blood culture results. Seven (8.1%) infants showed pleocytosis in the cerebrospinal fluid, but none had coexisting bacterial meningitis. Twenty-four (30.8%) infants showed renal dilatation or hydronephrosis on ultrasonography. Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scans revealed cortical defects in 17 (21.3%) infants while voiding cystourethrography revealed vesicoureteral reflux in 6 (46.2%) infants. Conclusion: Co-existing bacterial meningitis was not observed in young infants with UTIs. LP could not be routinely performed considering the clinical condition of <90 days old UTI patients.

Ten samples were collected from soft rotted ornamental foliage plants, that were cultivated in the vinyl-houses in Taejeon, Yeoju, Seongnam, Kimhae and Cheju during 1998 to 1999. Studies on morphological, cultural, physiological and pathological characteristics indicated that the bacteria from Begonia heimalis, Saintpaulia sp. and Clivia miniata were Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora the first description of bacteria which caused bacterial soft on Begonia heimalis, Saintpaulia sp., and Clivia miniata in Korea.

To date, chemical managements of plant bacterial diseases are complicated by limitations on use of antibiotics in agriculture, antibiotic resistance development, and limited efficacy of alternative control agents. In this study, thus, we performed screening of eco-friendly farming material (notice no. 2-4-064) containing tannic acid as new antibacterial-activity against 7 plant bacterial pathogens: Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc), Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs), Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli (Aac), Xanthomonas cirti pv. citri (Xcc), Erwinia pyrifoliae (Ep), Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm), and Streptomyces scabies (Sc), Initial screening of antibacterial effects of eco-friendly farming material was performed using the paper disk diffusion method and co-cultivation in broth culture. Tannic acid based eco-friendly farming material showed inhibitory effect against Pcc, Rs, Aac, Xcc, Cmm, and Ss, whereas it did not show inhibition zone against Ep. However, when it tested by co-cultivation in broth culture, it showed strong inhibition effect against all pathogens that declined growth curve compared to bacterial pathogen only. Interestingly, when we observed morphological changes on those pathogens by SEM, cell morphologies of 7 pathogens were slightly changed that seem to be malfunction in their cell envelope.

The aim of this study was to understand the management level of pathogenic bacteria in HACCP system implemented animal farms. Microbial samples were collected from manure, floor, compost depot, manure on belt, low milk tank, dust in laying house and egg collector in HACCP system implemented Korean beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, and laying Hens farms. O157, O111 and O26 strains of E. coli were not detected in HACCP system implemented Korean beef cattle farm. The detection rate of E. coli from manure and floor in HACCP system implemented cattle farms (Korean beef cattle and dairy farm) was lower than those of non-HACCP system implemented cattle farm. Salmonella spp. was detected in HACCP system implemented cattle farms (Korean beef cattle and dairy farm). Compared with pervious studies, lower detection rate of Salmonella spp. at floor and compost depot in HACCP system implemented swine and commercial layer farms were indicated. In conclusion, implementation of HACCP system in animal farms would enhance the management level of biological hazard compare to normal animal farms.
