The aim of this study was to investigate probiotic characteristics and fermentation profile of selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from traditional fermented foods. Antibacterial activity against various pathogens, acid and bile salt tolerance, cell hydrophobicity, and antibiotic resistance were examined. 16S rRNA sequencing was carried out to identify eight presumptive LAB isolates. In general, all identified LAB (Enterococcus faecium MG89-2, Lactobacillus plantarum MG207, L. paracasei MG310, L. casei MG311, Streptococcus thermophilus MG510, L. bulgaricus MG515, L. helveticus MG585, and L. fermentum MG590) showed strong antimicrobial activity. Also, the selected strains were resistant to bile acid up to 3% and their autoaggregation rates were as high as 60%. All selected strains tested were sensitive to chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and ampicillin, whereas resistant to nalidixic acid and kanamycin.

The elongation of the chain length at 2'position of aminothiazolylacetamido group of cephalosporin antibiotics was achieved. The derivatives with elongated side chain at 2'position were successfully synthesis and their in vitro activities were evaluated. It is indicated that there is an optimum range of the chain length in order to exhibit higher biological activities. This result could open a possibility for the development of the cephalosporin antibiotics with higher activities by further variation of the substituents at other positions. The cephalosporin derivatives with a simple (relatively non-functionalized) side chain as well as with a linear extended side chain were also prepared. Low activities of these derivatives led to a conclusion that either simple (non-functionalized) change or linear elongation of the side chain does not enhance the antibacterial activities.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) growth in processed meat products produces slime. In this study, 10 different biofilm-forming LAB, including Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, Levilactobacillus brevis, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc citreum, Weissella viridescens, and Latilactobacillus sakei, were isolated from various meat products and identified based on 16S rRNA gene analysis. To inhibit biofilm formation by LABs, Eisenia bicycles methanolic extract (EB) and ethyl acetate soluble fraction (EA) were used as antibacterial and antibiofilm agents, respectively. Furthermore, EA and EB were employed to synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) such as EB-AuNPs and EA-AuNPs, which could serve as antibiofilm agents against the isolated LAB. These findings demonstrate that EA, EB-AuNPs, and EA-AuNPs exhibit significant antibacterial activity against the isolated LAB. Furthermore, EB-AuNPs reduced L. citreum biofilm production, whereas EA-AuNPs inhibited L. mesenteroides and L. brevis biofilm formation. The current results suggest that EB-AuNPs and EA-AuNPs can be used as nanomaterials to inhibit LAB that form biofilms on meat products.

Nonactin, known as an ionophore antibiotic, was antagonized by the actibity of quercetin, an oxygen radical scavenger. This compound generated superoxide radicals in Bacillus subtilis lysates. A recombination-deficient mutant strain of B. subtilis was more sensitive than a wild strain, and this hypersensitivity was reduced in the presence of dithiothreitol as an antioxidant. These results suggest that superoxide radical is important in the antibacterial action of this agent.

화학방부제는 항균활성은 좋지만 많은 부작용이 보고되고 있어 최근에는 인체에 해가 없으며 방부 기능과 자체 효능이 있는 천연방부제의 개발이 활발하다. 또한 천연물의 흡수율을 높이기 위한 방법으로 분자량이 커서 인체에 잘 흡수되지 않아 저분자화를 시키기 위한 방법으로 균주를 이용하여 발효하는 것도 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 이에 천연방부제가 방부 효과는 지속되어야 하고 첨가했을 때 품질에 손상을 주지 않아야 하며, 향, 색과 성분에 영향을 끼치지 않아야 한다는 요건들을 충족시켜야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 인체에 해가 없으며 항균활성이 좋은 황금, 단삼, 관중을 선정하였다. 식물은 모두 에탄올로 추출하였고, 발효균주로는 B. subtilis, L. casei, S. cerevisiae와 누룩에서 분리한 Asp. oryzae로 액체와 고체발효를 하여 발효 전과 발효 후의 유효성분의 함량을 비교하였다. 항균활성을 알아보기 위해 C. albicans, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa 세균 3종과 진균은 E. coli로 억제력을 탐색하였다. 천연방부제 개발로 사용하기 위해서는 항균활성이 있고 이러한 실험을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 원산지, 굵기와 용매에 따른 수율은 황금은 중국산이며 굵기는 2,800㎛로 50% ethyl alcohol 추출물에서 21.88%, 단삼은 국내산으로 굵기는 2,800㎛이며 50% ethyl alcohol 추출물에서 25.62%, 관중은 중국산으로 굵기는 2,800㎛, 70% ethyl alcohol 추출물에서 6.50%의 수율을 얻었다. 2. L. casei로 1일 액체 발효했을 때 수율은 황금 66.8%, 단삼 84.8%, 관중 73.0%였다. B. subtilis로 고체발효한 황금과 단삼은 24.40%, 39.30%, 관중은 L. casei로 발효 했을 때 11.10%의 수율을 얻었다. 3. 액체발효 후 황금에서 S. aureus 균주에 대하여 9mm 정도의 clear zone이 확인되었고, 단삼과 관중 발효에서는 항균력이 확인되지 않았다. 4. 황금을 L. casei로 고체발효 했을 때 C. albicans와 S. aureus에서 높은 항균활성을 보였다. 단삼은 S. cerevisiae로 고체발효 했을 때 S. aureus에서 항균활성을 보였다. 관중은 L. casei, S. cerevisiae로 고체발효 했을 때 E. coli와 S. aureus에서 항균활성이 높게 나타났다. 발효하지 않았을 때보다 발효 후의 항균활성이 매우 높았다. 5. 유효성분의 변화는 고체발효하지 않은 황금에서는 baicalin 101.57, baicalein 28.26, wogonin 5.33mg/g이었고, S. cerevisiae로 고체발효 했을 때는 baicalin 94.31, baicalein 30.41, wogonin 3.57mg/g로 baicalein의 함량은 증가된 것으로 확인되었다. 발효하지 않은 단삼에서는 salvianolic acid A가 1.82mg/g 이었으며, S. cerevisiae로 고체발효했을 때는 5.70mg/g으로 증가하였다. 관중의 유효성분은 flavaspidic acid AP, flavaspidic acid PB, flavaspidic acid AB, flavaspidic acid BB로 나타났다.

This study evaluates the utility of an antibacterial microneedle composed of green tea extract (GT) and hyaluronic acid (HA), for the efficient delivery of GT. These microneedles have the potential to be a patient-friendly method for the conventional sustained release of drugs. In this study, a fabrication method using a mold-based technique to produce GT/HA microneedles with a maximum area of ${\sim}60mm^2$ with antibacterial properties was used to manufacture transdermal drug delivery systems. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry was carried out to observe the potential modifications in the microneedles, when incorporated with GT. The degradation rate of GT in GT/HA microneedles was controlled simply by adjusting the HA composition. The effects of different ratios of GT in the HA microneedles were determined by measuring the release properties. In HA microneedles loaded with 70% GT (GT70), a continuous higher release rate were sustained for 72 h. The in vitro cytotoxicity assays demonstrated that GT/HA microneedles are not generally cytotoxic to chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1), human embryonic kidney cells (293T), and mouse muscle cells (C2C12), which were treated for 12 and 24 h. Antimicrobial activity of the GT/HA microneedles was demonstrated by ~95% growth reduction of gram negative [Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas putida (P. putida) and Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium)] and gram positive bacteria [Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus) and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis)], with GT70. Furthermore, GT/HA microneedles reduced bacterial growth in the infected skin wound sites and improved skin wound healing process in rat model.

Staphylococcus aureus에 대한 젖산균과 그 대사산물의 항균효과와 그 항균물질의 특성을 조사하였다. MRS broth에서 S. aureus와 젖산균을 혼합배양시켰을 때 모든 젖산균은 배양 12시간째부터 S. aureus의 생육을 억제하기 시작했으며, L. lactic는 24시간만에, L. casei, Sc. thermophilus 그리고 L. acidophilus는 48시간 만에 모든 균을 사멸하였다. S. aureus가 사멸하기 시작한 12시간째 혼합배양액의 pH는 4.50이었으며 완전히 사멸한 24, 48시간의 pH는 3.50이었다. TS broth에 젖산균의 대사산물을 첨가하고 S. aureus을 배양하였을 때 4종의 젖산균 대사산물 모두가 향균활성을 나타내었으며, 대사산물을 열처리하였을 때 L. casei, L. acidophilus 및 L. lactis는 그 항균활성이 소실되었으나, Sc. thermophilus의 경우는 어느 정도 그 활성을 유지하였다. $H_{2}O_{2}$의 영향을 확인하기 위해 catalase를 처리하였을 때는 L. lactis만 그 항균활성이 소실되었다. 유기산(acetate, lactate)이 무기산(HCl)보다 pH3.5, 4.5에서 S. aureus에 대한 살균활성이 더 높았으며, pH5.5, 6.5에서는 큰 차이가 없었다.

Activated carbon has long been used in purification processes for indoor air quality. However, the bioaerosol removal by activated carbon is not often sufficient to be used in an air control devise. In order to overcome these problems, silver nano-particles have been proposed as an antibacterial agent on the surface of activated carbon. Silver or silver ions have been known for antimicrobial activities. In this study, bioaerosol generated by using an Escherichia coli culture was introduced to a lab-scale column packed with activated carbon (AC) and silver nano-particles attached to activated carbon (Ag-AC). E. coli was almost completely removed in the Ag-AC column, whereas bioaerosol penetrated through the AC column. To determine the antibacterial effect of different filter materials in a full-scale air-handling system, another experiment was conducted using a wind tunnel equipped with a heat exchanger and three filter materials including commercial fabric, AC and Ag-AC. It was found that E. coli proliferated on the surface of the heat exchanger after 5 days, which dramatically increased bioaerosol counts in the effluent air stream. The fabric filter could not control the increased bioaerosol and most of the E. coli penetrated the filter. The bacterial removal efficiency was found to be approximately 45% in the AC filter, while the antibacterial efficiency increased to 70% using the Ag-AC filter. Consequently, the Ag-AC filter can be an effective method to control bioaerosol and improve indoor air quality.
