Infertility is a key issue affecting mood and behavior in men. Microorganisms are one of the primary etiological agents that may be associated with infertility. The objective of the present study was to identify bacterial causative agents from the semen of infertile subjects and determine the effect of bacterial infection on sperm quality, as well as determine the susceptibility of these bacteria to drugs. Forty semen samples from 30 infertile patients and 10 fertile individuals were collected. The pH, volume, motility, and concentration of semen were analyzed. The samples were processed and identified by biochemical testing using API identification kits. The antibiotic susceptibility pattern was determined using the disc diffusion method. Abnormal sperm quality was observed. The mean age of the individual and their sperm morphology, concentration, progressive motility, pH level, and pus cell content were 31.9 years, 2.7%, 10.4 million/ml, 27.3%, 8.3, and 5.7, respectively. Among the tested samples, oligoasthenozoospermia was found to show the highest occurrence, at 27/30 samples, followed by teratozoospermia, at 25/30 samples, and asthenozoospermia, at 22/30 samples. Of the tested infertile patients' sperm, 19, 6, and 5 isolates were identified as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Staphylococcus epidermidis, respectively. The results also revealed multi-drug resistance in the bacteria. Compared to that shown by the other tested antibiotics, amikacin showed higher activity against all isolated bacteria. However, the bacteria exhibited maximum resistance against gentamicin, cefotaxime, levofloxacin, and ampicillin. In conclusion, leukocytospermia and bacterial infections are possibly responsible for sperm abnormalities. Multi-drug resistant bacteria were detected. Gentamicin, cefotaxime, levofloxacin and ampicillin were shown the highest resistance, while amikacin was the most effective antimicrobial agent against the isolated bacteria.

For efficient prevention and treatment of enteric colibacillosis, understanding about latest virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli is essentially needed. The aim of this study was to survey antimicrobial resistance and determine the prevalence of fimbriae and enterotoxin genes among 118 pathogenic E. coli isolates obtained from Korean pigs with diarrhea between 2016 and 2017. The genes for the toxins and adhesins were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The susceptibility of the E. coli isolates to antimicrobials were tested using the standard Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The most prevalent fimbrial antigen was F18 (40.7%), followed by F4 (16.9%), and the most prevalent combinations of toxin genes were Stx2e (21.2%), STb:EAST-1 (19.5%), and STa:STb (16.9%), respectively. Among the pathotypes, enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) was the most predominant (67.8%), followed by Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC, 23.7%). We confirmed high resistance rates to chloramphenicol (88.1%), tetracycline (86.4%), streptomycin (86.4%), and ampicillin (86.4%). And the majorities of isolates (90.7%) showed multi-drug resistance which means having resistance to 3 or more subclasses of antimicrobials. Results of this study can be a source of valuable data for investigating the epidemiology of and control measures for enteric colibacillosis in Korean piggeries.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus species, which cause acute gastroenteritis in humans, were isolated from farmed fish and seawater and their antimicrobial-resistance pattern and factor were investigated. They exhibited the highest resistance to ampicillin (88.9%), followed by trimethoprim (51.9%) and rifampin (22.2%). The relatively high resistance to trimethoprim was unexpected because trimethoprim was not commonly used in fish farming in Korea. R plasmid related resistance was identified by the treatment of novobiocin (7 ug/mL) and it was named as pVPBW1. A putative trimethoprim resistance gene in 2.0 kb fragment of pVPBW1 was also confirmed.

제주도내 양식넙치 병어에서 분리된 연쇄상구균 75균주의 항균제에 대한 감수성 경향 및 내성균 출현빈도를 조사하고 다재내성 균주로부터 전이성 R plasmid를 검출하였다. 넙치 병어에서 분리된 모든 연쇄상구균은 flumequine (AR)과 oxolinic acid (OA)에 대하여 저항성이었으며, 그 중 30균주 (41%)는 ampicillin (ABPC), doxycycline (DOXY), erythromycin (EM), norfloxacine (NFLX), oxyteracycline (OTC)의 약제에 대하여 다양한 조합으로 동시내성을 나타내었다. AR과 OA를 포함하여 4～6약제에 대하여 다재내성을 보인 균주는 26주였다. 연쇄상구균의 다재내성 전이에 관여하는 R plasmid인 pST9와 DNA구조가 유사한 plasmid의 분포를 알아보기 위하여 60 분리 균주에 대한 colony 혼성화를 실시하였다. 그 결과 13 분리균에서 혼성화 양성반응이 나타났으며 생사료의 원료로 사용되는 양치와 고등어에서도 양성반응이 나타남으로써 동일 DNA구조의 plasmid가 분포함을 시사하였다. 혼성화 양성반응을 보인 13균주로부터 전이성 R plasmid를 검출하기 위하여 conjugation을 실시하였다. OTC, DOXY, EM에 대한 항균제 내성 marker인 Otc, Doxy, Em은 R plasmid에 의하여 수용균인 Streptococcus sp.로 전이가 이루어졌다. 또한 이들 전이성 R plasmid를 보유하고 있는 연쇄상구균들이 동일 분류군에 속하는지를 알아보기 위하여 RAPD pattern을 분석하였다. 내성균주들의 RAPD pattern은 모두 유사하였으며, Streptococcus iniae type의 RAPD pattern (Kim and Kim, 2003)은 나타나지 않았다. 그러므로 pST9와 동일 DNA 구조의 R plasmid는 S. iniae에서의 출현빈도가 매우 낮을 것으로 예상되었다.

The present study was conducted to investigate isolation and antimicrobial resistance ratio of E. coli, E. faecium and E. faecalis from feces(l50 samples) and carcasses (150 samples) on slaughtered pigs from 6 slaughterhouse of 13 cities in the Gyeongnam during the period from January 2009 to December 2009. Isolation ratio of E. coli from feces and carcasses were 98 (65.3%) and 110(73.3%), respectively, and simultaneously, E. faecalis and E. faecium from feces and carcasses were isolated 21 (14%), 52(34.7%) and 18(12%), 14 (9.3%), respectively. All E. coli isolated from feces and carcasses except cefepime (0%) and ceftiofur (0%) were exhibited 2.4~83.6% of resistance to teteracycline (83.6%), ampicillin (68.2%), streptomycin (60%), chloram-phenicol (53.8%) and cephalothin (2.4%). All E. faecalis isolated from feces and carcasses except penicillin(0%) and vancomycin (0%) were exhibited 2.7~80.8% of resistance to teteracycline (80.8%), quinupristin/dalfopristin (78%), erythromycin (56.1%), streptomycin (43.8%) and bacitracin (2.7%). All E. faecium isolated from feces and carcasses except gentamicin (0%), vancomycin (0%), florfenicol (0%), linezloid (0%) and bacitracin (0%) were exhibited 3.1~53.1% of resistance to rifampin (53.1%), erythromycin and tetracycline (25%), penicillin (15.6%), ciprofloxacin (9.3%), and streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and quinupristin/dalfopristin (3.1%). According to the heard size, resistance ratio of E. coli strains isolated from feces and carcasses in slaughtered pigs-breeding farms over 1,500 heard to tetracycline, ampicillin, streptomycin and chloramphenicol showed higher resistance ratio (1.0~16.8%) than those of farms-breeding under 1,500 heard. From the our results, we suggest that a few of antimicrobials were used in the Gyeongnam than the other cities.

1973년부터 1985년 사이에 대구지방에서 분리된 Shigella는 약 1,200주였는데, 대부분이 Shigella flexneri였고, S. sonnei는 약 20%였으며, S. dysenteriae와 S. boydii는 극히 적었다. 분리균의 95%이상이 chloramphenicol(Cm), tetracycline(Tc), streptomycin(Sm), sulfisomidine(Su), ampicillin(Ap), trimethoprim(Tf) 등의 전부 또는 일부 약제에 내성이었으며, kanamycin, nalidixic acid(Na)와 rifampin(Rf)에 내성인 균주는 소수 있었으나, cephaloridine, gentamicin, amikacin 등에 내성인 균주는 없었다. 1973년에 분리된 균은 약 절반이 약제내성이었으나, 1977년 이후 분리된 균은 95% 이상이 약제내성이었다. 1977년 까지는 Cm, Tc, Sm 및 Su의 4제 내성균이 가장 많았으나 1978년 부터는 Cm, Tc, Sm, Su, Ap 및 Tp의 6제 내성균이 가장 많았다. 약 75%의 균이 그 약제내성을 접합에 의하여 Escherichia coli에 전달하였으므로 이 약제내성은 R plasmid에 의한 것으로 생각되었다. 대다수의 균에 있어서 약제내성 전부를 E. coli에 전달하였으나, Na와 Rf의 내성은 전달되지 않았다. 일부 균주의 약제내성은 E. coli에 전달될 때 분리되는 일이 있었으나, 그 수는 극히 적었다. Shigella의 R Plasmid는 대부분이 비적합성군(incompatibility group) F II에 분류되었으나, 극소수는 B군에 속하였고 군별이 안되는 것도 있었다.

This study was performed to determine the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Salmonella spp., coliforms, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio spp. isolated from broiler carcasses, aquacultured flounders, hamburgers, and lettuce, which are foods consumed in large quantities in Korea. Salmonella spp. and L. monocytogenes were isolated only from broiler carcasses and Salmonella spp. had a high multidrug resistance rate of 61.1%. Meanwhile, coliforms and S. aureus were isolated from all four foods tested in this experiment. The multidrug resistance rate of coliforms from broiler carcasses was 50%, and that of Vibrio spp. from flounders was 71.4%. The resistance to tetracycline, streptomycin, ampicillin or carbenicillin was common regardless of the kind of food or isolate.

Two hundred and twenty-seven strains of Escherichia coli isolated from 25 hens (12 hens received tetracycline neomycin and sulfadimethoxine, and 13 hens not received antibiotics) were studied for the drug resistance and distribution of R factors. About 74 per cent of E. coli strains isolated from hens of a herd received antibiotics were resistance to tetracycline (TC) streptomycin (SM), chloramphenicol (CM), kanamycin (KM), ampicillin (AP) and sulfisomidine (Su), alone or in combination thereof, but only a hen among a herd not received antibiotics excreted E. coli resistant to TC and SM. Among resistant strains, about 7% were found to be resistant to TC and SM, whereas 93% were resistant to three or more antibiotics. The most common pattern was the quadruple resistant to SM, TC, KM and Su (28.7%), and followed by triple ones to SM, TC and Su (25.3%), and SM, TC and KM (24.7%). About 84% of resistant strains carried R factors which were transferable to the recipient by conjugation.
