The water extracts of 83 oriental herbal medicines (Hanbang) which have been clinically used to treat bacterial infections in Korea were screened for in vitro antibacterial activity by the paper disc assay method. Two Gram positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus SG 511, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, and two Gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli 055, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 9027 were used as test organisms. Among the extracts tested, MeOH extract of Baenongtang showed remarkably potent antibacterial activity. Activity-guided chromatographic fractionations of the $CH_2Cl_2$ extract of Baenongtang afforded seven antibacterial compounds.

Objectives: Pleurotus eryngii is used both for edible and medicinal purposes, and has a physiological activity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the antibacterial effect of Pleurotus eryngii against six oral pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus criceti, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus ratti, Streptococcus sobrinus, and Actinomyces viscosus). Methods: The antibacterial activities of various extracts of Pleurotus eryngii were examined by disc diffusion assay and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The disc diffusion assay was performed by putting a paper disc soaked in extracts on plates inoculated bacterial cultures. The MIC of these extracts was determined by using a broth microdilution assay at a concentration ranging between 0.03 mg/ml to 15.00 mg/ml. The growth inhibition effect of extracts was measured at 600 nm for 24 hrs. Results: The antibacterial activity was confirmed against all six tested bacteria at Pleurotus eryngii ethyl acetate extract by the disc diffusion method. Acetone extract showed the antibacterial activity only against 4 strains containing Streptococcus criceti, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus ratti, and Actinomyces viscosus. In ethanol extract, no activity was observed against other strains except Staphylococcus aureus. MIC values of ethyl acetate extract were the same, 7.50 mg/ml in all tested bacteria. Conclusions: Pleurotus eryngii exhibited the antibacterial activity against oral pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus criceti, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus ratti, Streptococcus sobrinus, and Actinomyces viscosus). Thus, Pleurotus eryngii may be considered as a natural antibacterial agent for treatment of dental diseases.

Pseudomonas fluorescens B16 is a plant glowth-prornoting rhizobacterium, which produces an antibacterial compound that is effective against plant root pathogens, such as Agrobacrerium tumefaciens and Raistonia solanacearum. We mutagenized the strain B16 with Omegon-Km and isolated six antibacterial-activity-deficient mutants. Two cosmid clones that hybridized with the mutant clones also were isolated from a genomic library of tile parent strain. Using deletion and complementation analyses, it was found that the biosynthesis genes resided in a 4.3-kb SalI-NarI fragment. When a plasmid clone carrying the fragment was introduced into P. fluorescens strain 1855.344, which does not exhibit any antibacterial activity, the transconjugants exhibited antibacterial activity, indicating that the plasmid clone carried all the genes essential for production of the antibacterial compound. DNA sequence analysis of the fragment identified four putative open reading frames (ORFs): orf1 through orf4 The deduced amino acid sequences of ORF1, ORF2, and ORF4 were similar to cystathionine gamma lyase, pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme, and transcriptional regulator, respectively, yet the amino acid sequence of ORF3 showed no similarities to any known proteins. It was also demonstrated that the antibacterial activity was responsible for biological control of the bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum.

돼지의 만성 호흡기 질환인 위축성 비염을 방제할 수 있는 생물공학적 방법을 개발하고자 먼저 자연계에서 돼지 위축성 비염의 원인균에 대한 항균활성이 강한 세균을 분리하여 동정하고 몇 가지 항균특성을 조사하였다. 자연계에서 항균성 물질 생산 균주로 분리한 1080주의 세균 가운데 돼지 위축성 비염의 원인균인 Bordetella bronchiseptica 와 Pasteurella multocida에 대하여 강한 항균활성을 갖는 Y-5 균주를 최종 선정한 후 동정한 결과 Bacillus sp. Y-5로 추정되었다. Y-5 균주를 pH 6.0으로 조절된 육즙배지에서 $30^{\circ}C$, 21시간 배양하였을 때 Bordetella bronchiseptica에 대하여 가장 높은 항균활성을 보였고, Y-5 균주를 $30^{\circ}C$, pH 6.5에서 18시간 배양 하였을 때 Pasteurella multocida에 대하여 가장 강한 항균활성을 보였다.

Antibacterial activity is an important feature for the development of antibiotics alternatives. Plant extract is considered as a promising alternative for organic farming. In this study, a total of 11 plants were extracted using ethanol to determine their antibacterial activities against to Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogens, Mannheimia haemolytica and Salmonella gallinarum. The synergistic interaction among plant extracts was also investigated. Plants used in this study were Carthamus nctoricus L. (pA), Poncirus trifollata Raf. (pB), Scutellaria balcalensis Georgi (pC) Prunus sargentii (pD), Cucurbita moschata $D_{UCH}$ Leaf (pE), Allium cepa L. peel (pF) Portulaca oleracea L. (pG), Xanthium strumarium L. (pH), Duchesnea chrysantha (pI), Cudrania tricuspidata (pJ) and Juniperus chinensis L. (pK). The pB and pA had the most broad antibacterial spectrum and the highest activity against to Staph. aureus among plant extract, respectively. In the synergistic interaction, the mixtures of pA and pC as well as pA and pF had batter antibacterial activity against to Staph. Aureus compared with other mixtures.

Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial activity of self-etching adhesive systems against Streptococcus mutans using the agar diffusion method. Materials and Methods: Three 2-step systems, Clearfil SE Bond (SE, Kuraray), Contax (CT, DMG), and Unifil Bond (UnB, GC), and three 1-step systems, Easy Bond (EB, 3M ESPE), U-Bond (UB, Vericom), and All Bond SE (AB, BISCO) were used. 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX, Bukwang) and 37% phosphoric acid gel (PA, Vericom) were used as positive controls. Results: The antibacterial activity of CHX and PA was stronger than that of the other groups, except SE. After light activation, the inhibition zone was reduced in the case of all 2-step systems except CT. However, all 1-step systems did not exhibit any inhibition zone upon the light activation. Conclusions: SE may be better than CT or UnB among the 2-step systems with respect to antibacterial activity, however, 1-step systems do not exhibit any antibacterial activity after light curing.

A mono-type glycerine fatty acid ester compound was chemically synthesized using medium-chain fatty acids with antibacterial activity, and the physicochemical quality and antibacterial activity of the synthesized glycerine medium-chain fatty acid ester compound were measured. At a reaction molar ratio of MCT(medium chain triglyceride) to glycerine of 1:2.5, 48.15% mono ester was produced. The physicochemical analysis of the synthesized glycerine fatty acid ester compound showed an acid content of 0.38~0.60%, which tended to increase slightly as the glycerine molar ratio increased. The saponification value decreased as the synthesized molar ratio of glycerine increased from 218 to 284. The number of bacteria was measured to confirm the degree of antibacterial activity of glycerine medium-chain fatty acid esters against food poisoning bacteria, Bacillus cereus and Salmonella typhi. The number of bacteria significantly decreased as the MCT:glycerine molar ratio increased. In particular, the antibacterial effect between the treatment groups was the highest when at an MCT:glycerine molar ratio of 1:2.5.

다양한 건축시설 및 생활제품에 적용하기 위한 기능성 항균강화유리개발을 위해 국산 소재들의 항균력을 조사하여, 특정농도에서 99% 이상의 항균력을 갖는 은, 구리, 아연으로 강화유리 시편을 제작하였다. 은, 구리, 아연을 Ethylene glycol + Glycerol로 분산시킨 시편의 항균력은 모두 99% 이상으로 측정되었고, Ethylene glycol과 Glycerol을 단독으로 사용했을 때는 항균력이 감소되었다. 표면분석기를 사용하여 세척에 의한 결합된 금속소재의 두께 변화를 측정한 결과, 물을 포함한 다양한 종류의 세제로 세척한 시편에서는 표면에 도포된 소재의 두께가 1% 미만으로 감소하였지만, 염기성 세제에서는 약 10%의 표면두께 감소가 확인되었다. 또한, 시편의 인체 안전성을 확인하기 위해, MTT 분석법을 통한 세포독성실험을 수행하였고, 항균물질들이 도포된 시편에서의 세포독성은 대조군과 비교하였을 때 거의 나타나지 않았다. 마지막으로, 시제품의 항균력이 99% 이상임을 Bacterial Live/dead kit을 이용하여 확인하였고, 공인인증기관의 필름밀착법으로 다시 한 번 시제품의 항균력을 검증하였다. 결국, 본 연구에서는 국산소재들의 항균력을 검증과 함께 이를 이용한 고기능성 항균효과 갖는 강화유리를 개발하였다.

Essential oils extracted from Chamaecyparis obtusa were applied to make antibacterial corrugating liner. The quantitative analysis of the essential oils was carried out by GC-MS, which showed that the monoterpenes as a basic component of the essential oils extracted from Chamaecyparis obtusa in the domestic mountain were greater in amount than those in China. The antibacterial activity was then examined with Tyromyces palustris and gram-negative/positive bacteria. The papers treated with the essential oils desplayed great resistance against T. Palustris and gram bacteria but the best results were obtained with the handsheet formed by softwood bleached kraft pulp rather than the liner by OCC. The low antibacterial activity of the liner was considered to be due to starch components which could be readily attacked by the fungi.
