국내에서 발생하고 있는 닭 질병 중에서 심각하게 경제적인 피해를 일으키는 질병들은 주로 온도가 낮은 시기에 집중되어 있다. 하절기에는 몇몇 세균성 질병을 포함하여 고온다습한 환경 조건에 닭이 노출됨으로써 오는 일사와 열사병, 곰팡이 독소 중독증 그리고 가금티푸스를 포함한 몇몇 세균성 질병 등이 주를 이룬다. 그러나 간과해서는 안 될 것은 여름철이라고 해서 환절기와 동절기에 바이러스성 질병의 발생이 없는 것이 아니라 사육환경이 좋아짐으로써 질병의 증상이 잘 드러나지 않고 피해가 나타나지 않을 뿐 각종 질병의 발생이 계속되고 있다는 사실이다. 더위는 털이 많은 닭에게 있어서 분명 견디기 힘든 환경일 것이다. 더위로 인해 겪는 계군의 피해는 사료섭취 감소, 산란저하, 난중감소, 난각질 저하, 부화율 저하, 사료효율의 저하와 스트레스 호르몬의 분비에 의해 성장저하 및 면역시스템에 좋지 않은 영향을 주어서 질병에 대한 감수성이 높아지게 만든다. 계군이 더위를 잘 이기게 해주는 일련의 관리방법들은 계군에 대한 스트레스를 감소 시켜주어 결국은 닭의 면역시스템을 보호해 주는 넓은 의미의 질병 예방 관리라 할 수 있을 것이다. 7월의 폭염을 계군이 효과적으로 이길 수 있게 해 주는 일반적인 관리방법들을 나열해 본다.

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes was used to compare the community structures of free-living and aggregated bacteria at thawing period in Lake Baikal. Targeted groups were Eubacteria, $\alpha$-, $\beta$-, $\gamma$- proteobacteria groups, Cytophaga-Flavobacterium group and Planctomycetales. Total bacterial numbers of free-living bacteria were ranged from $0.2{\times}10^6\cells{\cdot}ml^-1$ to $3.2{\times}10^6\cells{\cdot}ml^-1$, which were decreasing with depth, while the aggregated bacterial numbers were dramatically increasing from $0.4{\times}10^4 to 3.3{\times}10^4 \cells{\cdot}ml^-1$ with depth. The ratios of EUB probe binding cells to DAPI counts were ranged from 52.3 to 74.1% in free-living bacteria, and from 39.6 to 66.7% in the aggregated bacteria, respectively. Community structures of the aggregated bacteria were very different from each free-living bacteria at every depth. At 25 m depth, where the chlorophyll a concentration was highest, both structures were quite different from those of surface layers, rendering the fact that the community structures might be affected by phytoplankton. The vertical profile of community structure of aggregated bacteria is particular. The proportion of $\beta$-proteobacteria group was increasing with depth and it was 51.8% at 100 m, but the dominant group was $\gamma$-pro-teobacteria group at 250 m. Taken together, the biodiversity and succession of aggregated bacteria are quite different from free-living bacteria.

1. 환자발생 규모는 10명 이하가 $38.0\%$로 가장 많았고 50명 이상의 대규모 발생도 $13.0\%$이었다. 대규모 환자발생은 세균성 식중독이 원인이었다. 2. 전체 식중독에 $67.3\%$가 7월부터 9월에 집중되어 계절의 변화에 영향받고 있음을 알 수 있다. Vibrio에 의한 발생은 특히 하절기에 높았고 Salmonella, Staphyloccus는 상대적으로 연중 계속해서 발생 가능성을 보였다. 독성물질에 의한 식중독은 계절과 무관하였으나 식물성 식중독은 7, 8월에 집중되고 있다. 3. 세균성 식중독이 $56.2\%$, 독성물질에 의한 식중독이 $17.8\%$이었다. 세균성 식중독의 원인균은 Vibrio $35.4\%$, Salmonella $27.2\%$, Escheri-chia coli $17.7\%$, Staphylococcus $17.7\%$ 순이었다. 독성물질에 의한 식중독은 식물성 식중독이 $64\%$로 가장 많았다. 4. Vibrio 식중독의 주원인식품은 해산물이지만 cross-contamination에 의해 오염된 다른 식품으로도 발생한 것으로 나타났다. Salmone-lla 식중독은 관혼상제시 거의 빠지지 않고 제공되는 돼지고기 편육이 주원인식품이었다. 5. 전체 식중독의 $76.8\%$가 가정과 식품접객업소(구내식당 포함)에서 발생되었으며, 특히 도시지역은 $66.4\%$가 식품접객업소에서 농촌지역은 $58.9\%$가 가정에서 발생되어 지역간의 차이를 보였다. 6. 독버섯은 독성물질에 의한 식중독의 주원인식품으로 농촌가정에서 일상식을 통한 섭취로 많이 발생되고 있으며, 사망자의 발생이 가장 많은 치명적인 원인식품이었다. 7. 식품접객업소에서 발생된 식중독의 주원인식품은 해산물이며, 덜익혀지거나 생선회 같이 날것을 섭취하여 발생하였다. 8. 생일잔치 및 회갑연, 결혼 피로연, 문상, 제사 등의 관혼상제시 발생되는 식중독은 농촌지역의 가정에서 주로 발생되고 있다. 구내 식당 및 관광지 음식점의 식중독 발생이 많은 것은 이들 시설에 대한 위생관리가 미비하여 대규모 식중독 발생의 위험이 항시 존재하고 있다고 할 수 있다.

Infected aortic aneurysms are rare, but the mortality of patients with infected aortic aneurysms remains high. Open surgical procedures are the standard of care for infected aneurysms of aorta, but the surgical results are often disappointing. The risk factors related to the high mortality include aneurysm rupture and a suprarenal aneurysm location. The classic method for treating infected aneurysms has been aneurysm resection, soft tissue debridement, remote arterial reconstruction out of the field of infection and antibiotics. Infected anuerysms located in the suprarenal aorta are highly lethal because of the need to reimplant the visceral or renal arteries and the graft related complications. We reported here on a case of suprarenal infected aortic aneurysm in a 55-years-old man. We also include a review of the relevant medical literature.

Bacterial meningitis is a rare complication of epidural block. As epidural abscess, subarachnoid infection associated with epidural catheters are related to the treatment of pain in diabetic patient whose immune responses have been impaired. A 51-year-old male with non-insulin dependent diabetes came to the pain clinic with neuropathic gain on right thigh and amputated stump of right leg. Treatment consisted of continuous epidural block and subcutaneous tunnelling and epidural morphine with bupivacaine was given on an outpatient basis. Two months later, the patient noted a diffuse frontal headache, projectile vomiting and stiffness neck. These symptoms became more aggrevated over the following 24 h and temperature went up to $38.4^{\circ}C$. A diagnostic lumbar puncture revealed CSF total protein of 747 mg/dl, glucose of 43 mg/dl, and $4320\;WBC/mm^3$. Cultures of epidural catheter tip grew hemolytic staphylococcus epidermidis. A chest x-ray and brain CT scan were negative. Antibiotic therapy with penicillin G and chloramphenicol was given for 15 days. Recovery was uneventful.

The antibacterial protein gene, nuecin was expressed in Sf9 cells using baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). The antibactetial activity of mature nuecin against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, Ralstonia solanacearum and Pseudomonas tolaasii was significantly high, demonstrating that nuecin had a wider antibacterial spectrum on gram negative and positive bacteria. The result appears to be superior to other antibacterial peptide, attacin. The nuecin was purified by SP-sepharose and Mono Q HR ion-exchange chromatography, and then by Superdex 200 HR 10/30 column. The purified nuecin is quite stable at 80$\^{C}$ and 100$\^{C}$ for several hours of incubation and in a wide pH range (pH 2-12).

80년대 초부터 시작된 대하 양식은 양식 생산량이 연간 2천톤 이상 달하여 우리나라 주요 양식 산업으로 자리잡아 가고 있으며, 특히 서해안은 광활한 갯벌과 폐염전, 유휴 농경지의 이용 등 지형적으로 대하 양식에 매우 유리한 조건을 갖추고 있어 해마다 양식면적과 양식장의 수가 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 지속되는 양식활동과 양식장의 적정 수용능력을 초과하는 과밀양식으로 인하여 양식장의 노화와 환경악화가 가속화됨으로써 각종 세균성 및 바이러스성 질병이 빈번하게 발생하여 양식어업인에게 큰 피해를 입히고 있는 실정이다.

The seasonal variations of nitrifying bacterial population sampled from 3 sites in Moon-Chon reservoir were analyzed by in situ hybridization with fluorescently labeled rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes from August 2000 until July 2001. In addition, physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, chi-a and DOC were measured to determine correlations between those factors and the size of nitrifying bacterial populations. Total bacterial numbers varied in the range of $0.8{\sim}1.5{\times}10^6\;cells/ml$ independent of sites and had the maximal values in March at all 3 stations. The ratio of eubacteria to total bacteria ranged from 44.9% to 79.5%, and the ratio of each nitrifying bacteria to eubacterial numbers reached only $1.0{\sim}7.4%$. The variations of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria ranged from $1.1{\times}10^4$ to $3.0{\times}10^4\;cells/ml$ without noticeable peak values whereas those of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria varied in $1.3{\sim}5.7{\times}10^4\;cells/ml$ with the increasing tendency in winter regardless of the sites. Moreover it was observed that the numbers of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were higher than those of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. Total bacterial numbers correlated with water temperature (r = 0.355, p<0.05) and DOC (r = 0.58G, p<0.01) positively whereas nitrite-oxidizing bacteria correlated with temperature (r = -0.416, p<0.05) and pH (r = -0.568, p = 0.001) negatively. In addition, DOC represented good correlations with eubacterial numbers (r = 0.448, p<0.01). These results indicate that temperature, DOC and pH might be one of the main factors affecting variations of bacterial populations in the aquatic ecosystem. It was also suggested that FISH method is a useful tool for detection of slow growing nitrifying bacteria.

Purpose : Shigellosis is still an important cause of acute food-borne diarrheal diseases throughout the world. We investigated the transmission routes and clinical course through the outbreak of shigellosis in Mapo-Gu, Seoul. Methods : From October 7th to November 19th in 2005, Mapo-Gu public health center had referred 32 patients with confirmed or suspected shigellosis to the National Medical Center. We had investigated source of infection, epidemiology, laboratory findings, and clinical course of the cases occurred during this outbreak. Results : Among 32 patients, 24 patients had been confirmed with shigellosis, 8 patients had been diagnosed with suspected shigellosis. They ranged in age from 5 months to 12 years old and their mean age was 6.5 years. The clinical manifestations were as follows; diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain and asymptomatic condition. Symptoms had sustained for 3.7 days on the average. S. sonnei were cultured by rectal swab and founded to be resistant to ampicillin and TMP/SMX except to 3rd generation cephalosporin. After treatment with antibiotics such as cefixime and ceftriaxone or imipenem and conservative treatment with electrolyte and fluid replacement for 5~7 days, Stool cultures of the rectal swab grew no Shigella in these cases except 3 cases. Conclusion : An outbreak of shigellosis had occurred in a preschool and elementary school children. From the same results of antimicrobial susceptibility and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns in this study, we suggest that the outbreak of shigellosis in this report had been originated from a single strain. According to all negative results about suspected food and water cultures, we couldn't find out source of infection. Through materials offerred by Mapo-Gu Public Health Center, we presumed the trasmission routes probably were person-to-person.

pheromone은 생물의 체내에서 합성되고 체외로 분비되어 동종개체에 작용함으로써 특정의 생리적 변화를 유발하는 물질이다. 생물 중에서는 성장의 어느 단계에서 pheromone과 같은 물질이 관여하고 있다는 것이 알려져 있다. 또한, 단세포생물에서 세포 외로 분비하여 2개의 세포를 서로 접합시키는 물질이 있는데 이러한 물질을 성pheromone이라 부르고 있다. 특히, 효모 버섯, 조류, 섬모충류에서 연구되고 있다. 효모는 성접합형을 달리하는 두 균주가 상호pheromone을 분비, 수용하여 성분화를 행하여가고 있다. 그리고 세균에 있어서도 pheromone 양상의 물질이 세포 외로 분비되고 이 물질에 의하여 세균의 생리적 조건에 영향을 주는 예가 있다. 지금까지 알려져 있는 미생물의 성 pheromone에 대하여 크게 나누어 보면 지용성 성 pheromone과 수용성 성 pheromone으로 대별할 수 있다. 본 총설에서는 세균과 자낭균효모, 담자균효모유래의 성 pheromone 중 peptide(수용성) 성 pheromone에 대해서만 집약하였다.
