This study was carried out to treatment test for bovine mastitis by the determination of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) based on firefly bioluminescence. The results obtained are followed; 1. In the susceptibility test, cephalothin which looks the most effective were sensitive to Staphylococcus sp. (72.3%), Micrococcus sp. (84.2%), Streptococcus sp. (72.7%) and Gram positive bacilli (72.7%), Gram negative bacilli were sensitive to gentamicin (92.3%) and Yeast-like-fungi was the most sensitive to clotrimazole, and nystatin in order. 2. When the number of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Candida tropicalis isolated from the mastitis milk were counted by conventional agar plating technique, and compared with the concentration of bacterial ATP, it gave a good linear relationship. The content of ATP per Staphylococcus aureus, cell was 3.1fM and Candida tropicalis showed the high level of A TP (90fM). 3. The ATP assay was applied to the determination of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of various antibiotics. When Staphylococcus aureus was incubated in the presence of different concentration of tetracycline, erythromycin, kanamycin and streptomycin sulfate and the growth was monitored by the conventional agar plating technique and ATP assay, both methods shown the same results that they were 1mcg/ml, 2mcg/ml, 6.25mcg/ml and 8mcg/ml, respectively. 4. For the determination of susceptibility of sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus au reus isolated for the milk with mastitis to tetracycline, erythromycin kanamycin and streptomycin sulfate, the minimum time required for the test was determined by the assay of ATP every 30 minutes during incubation of 3 hours at $37^{\circ}C$. ATP concentration time curve calculated on both resistant and sensitive strains incubated 3 hours as the optimum time for the determination of susceptibilities of various antibiotics exemed. The ATP concentration of each test broth (antibiotic containing), expressed as a percentage of its own control brith (antibioticfree) indicated values of 30% to be indicative of each antibiotic sensitivity. Single time point ATP assay carried out on the various sensitive and resistant of Staphylococcus aureus to antibiotics examined after 3 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ correlated exactly with disc diffusion and MIC. 5. In the cure of intramammary treatment of bovine mastitis in lactating quarters, the cure rate of Staphylococcal mastitis showed to cephalexin (80%), cloxacillin and gentamicin (70%), ampicillin and oxytetracycline (60%), and Streptococcal mastitis showed to cephalexin (85%), penicillin (80%), cloxacillin and oxytetracycline (75%), and ampicillin (70%), but intramammary antimycotic drug (clotrimazol) were only a little effect about fungal mastitis.

To gain insights into the effect of MexB gene under the short interfering RNA (siRNA), we synthesized 21 bp siRNA duplexes against the MexB gene. RT-PCR was performed to determine whether the siRNA inhibited the expression of MexB mRNA. Changes in antibiotic susceptibility in response to siRNA were measured by the E-test method. The efficacy of siRNAs was determined in a murine model of chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection. MexB-siRNAs inhibited both mRNA expression and the activity of P. aeruginosa in vitro. In vivo, siRNA was effective in reducing the bacterial load in the model of chronic lung infection and the P. aeruginosa-induced pathological changes. MexB-siRNA treatment enhanced the production of inflammatory cytokines in the early infection stage (P < 0.05). Our results suggest that targeting of MexB with siRNA appears to be a novel strategy for treating P. aeruginosa infections.

We collected three hundred thirty-five strains of Salmonella typhi isolated from human sources during the period January to December 1982 Korea. Most of them were from general hospitals and city health center, the remaining one hundred sixtyone strains were obtained from other 12 provincial health centers among 335 testing strains. We used ninety-nine Vi-phages as distributed from International Center for Enteric phage Typing(ICEPT) in London. We found nine phage types among 335 strains of Salmonella typhi in this study. Additionally, I+IV, degraded Vi-positive and Vi negative strains were presented. This study documented the occurrence of the new $B_2$ type in Korea for the first time. The present basic phage type formula in Korea appeared to be A, $B_2,\;D_1,\;D_2,\;D_4,\;D_6,\;D_8,\;D_{12},\;E_1,\;E_9,\;D_1,\;M_1$, 40 and plus I+IV and degraded vi strains(Table 2). The current phage types of Salmonella typhi isolated in Korea 1982 were A, $B_2,\;D_1,\;D_2,\;D_6,\;D_8,\;E_1,\;M_1$ and 46 $M_1$ type was widely distributed all over the country, and E type was next predominant. Antibiotic susceptibility test were performed by means of Kirby-Bauer disc diffution method using 12 kind of antibiotics such as Ampicillin, Carbenicillin, Cephalosporin, Chloramphenicol, Colistin, Gentamicin, Kanamycin, Nalidix acid, Neomycin, Polymyxin-B, Streptomycin and Tetracycline. The sensitivity pattern to antibiotics of Salmonelia typhi cultures were summarized.

목 적:본 연구의 목적은 2003년부터 2008년까지 24개월 이상 소아 요로 감염 원인균의 분포와 변화를 알아보고 주요 원인균인 Escherichia coli의 항생제 감수성의 시간에 따른 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법:2003년 1월에서 2008년 12월까지 본원에 열성 요로 감염으로 입원하여 치료받은 24개월 이상 환아의 기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 소변 배양 검사에서 단일 세균이 $10^5CFU/mL$ 이상인 경우에 유의하다고 보고 원인 균주와 항생제 감수성을 분석하였다. E. coli의 항생제 감수성의 변화 유무를 확인하기 위해 두 시기(A군: 2003-2005, B군: 2006-2008)로 나누어 chi-square test for trend를 사용하였다. 결 과:환아들로부터 63례의 균주가 분리되었다. 가장 흔한 원인균은 E. coli로 77.8%의 빈도를 보였다. 원인균들의 시기별 분포는 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). E. coli의 항생제 감수성은 aztreonam, cefotetan, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, amikacin, imipenem에 대하여 90% 이상, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole에 대하여 49%, ampicillin과 ampicillin/sulbactam에 대하여 20-25% 이었다. 두 시기 동안 E. coli의 감수성은 대부분 항생제에 대하여 변화가 없었으나, cefuroxime에 대한 감수성은 74.1%에서 95.5%로 증가하였고(P=0.006), ciprofloxacin에 대한 감수성은 59.3%에서 86.4%로 증가하였다(P=0.039). 결 론:E. coli 및 다른 그람 음성균은 trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam에 감수성이 낮아 단독으로 요로 감염의 초기 경험적 항생제로 사용하는 것은 부적절하다고 생각되며, 적절한 경험적 항생제의 선택은 그 지역 사회의 원인균에 대한 지속적인 감시와 항생제 감수성의 결과에 근거를 두어야 하겠다.

Many compounds might become activated after absorption of UV light energy. In some cases, the resulting molecule may undergo further biological reaction of toxicological relevance related especially to the photo-carcinogenicity resulting from photo-genotoxicity. However, no regulatory requirements have been issued with the exception of guideline issued by the Scientific Committee of Cosmetology, Commission of the European Communities (SCC/EEC) on the testing of sunscreens for their photo-genotoxicity. Thus, the objectives of this study are to investigate the utility of photo-Ames assay for detecting photo-mutagens, and to evaluate its ability to predict rodent photo-carcinogenicity. Photo-Ames assay was performed on five test substances that demonstrated positive results in photo-carcinogenicity tests: 8-methoxypsoralen (photoactive substance that forms DNA adducts in the presence of ultraviolet A irradiation), chlorpromazine (an aliphatic phenothiazine an a-adr-energic blocking agent), lomefloxacin (an antibiotic in a class of drugs called fluoroquinolones), anthracene (a tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon a basic substance for production of anthraquinone, dyes, pigments, insecticides, wood preservatives and coating materials) and retinoic acid (a retinoid compound closely related to vitamin A). Out of 5 test substances, 3 showed a positive outcome in photo-Ames assay. With this limited data set, an investigation into the predictive value of this photo-Ames test for determining the photo-carcinogenicity showed that photo-Ames assay has relatively low sensitivity (the ability of a test to predict carcinogenicity). Thus, to determine the use of in vitro genotoxicity tests for prediction of carcinogenicity,' several standard photo-genotoxicity assays should be compared for their suitability in detecting photo-genotoxic compounds.

축산환경개선용 미생물 제품 중 시장점유율을 기준으로 상위제품 A, B,하위 제품 E, F와 현재 개발완료 되어진 C, D를 선정하여 생균수 측정과, 사료첨가용으로 사용이 금지된 항생제에 대한 내성 테스트를 실시하였다. 생균수 측정 결과 상위 점유율의 A, B사 제품은 표기상의 생균수와 일치하였으나, 하위 점유율을 차지하고 있는 E제품의 경우 함유균주나 효능에 대한 정보를 제공하고 않고 있을뿐더러 F사의 제품은 균수가 적게 측정되어 실제 표기사항과 일치하지 않았다. 항생제 내성실험결과 점유율에 따른 상관관계는 없었으나, B사를 제외한 제품의 대부분에서 내성균이 존재함을 확인하였다. Lincosimides 계열의 Lincomycicne과 Clindamycin의 경우 B사를 제외한 제품에서 내성균이 존재하였다. Penicillins 계열의 Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, Penicillin 및 Macrolide 계열의 Erythromycin 항생제는 B사와 E를 제외한 제품에서 내성균이 존재함을 확인하였다. Quinoline계열 Norploxacin 또한 B사와 E사를 제외한 제품에서 내성균을 보였으며 Neomycin의 항생제 또한 유사한 내성분포 결과를 나타내었다. Neomycin과 같은 Aminiglycosides계열의 Gentamycin, Streptomycin은 B사제품을 제외한 제품에서 내성을 나타내었다. 마지막으로 내성-균으로 사용 금지된 Tetracycline계열의 Oxytetracyclin은 12가지 항생제중 가장 높은 비율의 감수성을 나타내었으나 B, E사를 제외한 제품에서 내성균의 존재를 확인하였다. 실험결과 사용 금지된 항생제 품목임에도 불구하고 많은 제품에서 때 성균이 존재하였으며, 이에 따라 환경개선제 특성의 정확한 표기와 체계적인 유통 체계와 검증 과정이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Purpose: Timely antibiotic therapy in selected cases of diarrhea associated with bacterial infections can reduce the duration and severity of illness and prevent complications. The availability of a predictive index before identification of causative bacteria would aid in the choice of a therapeutic agent. Methods: The study included patients admitted to the pediatrics unit at Konyang University Hospital for acute inflammatory diarrhea from August 1, 2015 to July 31, 2016 who underwent multiplex polymerase chain reaction testing. Of 248 patients, 83 had positive results. The clinical symptoms and blood test results were examined in 61 patients with Campylobacter spp. (25 patients), Salmonella spp. (18 patients), and Clostridium perfringens (18 patients) infections. The mean age of the 61 patients (male:femal=31:30) was $84.0{\pm}54.8months$, and the mean hospital stay was $4.6{\pm}1.7days$. Results: There were no statistical differences in sex, age, clinical symptoms, or signs. Patients with Campylobacter infection were significantly older (P=0.00). C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with Campylobacter infection were higher than those in the other 2 groups, at $9.6{\pm}6.1mg/dL$. The results of receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the cutoff age was ${\geq}103.5months$ (sensitivity, 72%; specificity, 86%) and the CRP cutoff level was ${\geq}4.55mg/dL$ (sensitivity, 80%; specificity, 69%). Conclusion: Age (${\geq}103.5months$) and higher CRP level (${\geq}4.55mg/dL$) were good predictors of Campylobacter enterocolitis. If neither criterion was met, Campylobacter enterocolitis was unlikely (negative predictive value 97.2%). When both criteria were met, Campylobacter enterocolitis was highly likely.

Survey of mastitis management and incidence of mastitis in the Gyeongnam was started in May to September 2009 to solve mastitis problem statistically valid data for use in estimating mastitis management, isolation and antimicrobial drug susceptibility in 30 dairy farms having over 350,000/ml somatic cell count. In investigation on recognition of farmer about bovine mastitis, the ratio of understanding of differences between infectious and environmental origin, understanding of correlation between superbacteria and using indiscriminate, necessity of pathogen identification, and necessity of antimicrobial sensitivity tests were 80.0%, 73.3%, 33.3%, and 53.3%, respectively. In survey of mastitis management type, regular california mastitis test (CMT), conducting CMT test and empirical self-treatment, when detecting suspected cows, were 30.0%, 40.0%, and 46.7%, respectively. Checking and cleaning pulsators biweekly, cleaning vacuum system and replacing liners every 3~6 month, and getting milking system checked by engineers showed 80.0%, 76.7%, and 76.7% in the questionnaires, respectively. In recognition of farmer about milking hygiene for prevention of bovine mastitis, using individual towels, separated milking (milking order of cows), and teat-dipping disinfection after milking exhibited 13.3%, 86.7%, and 93.3%, respectively. In conclusion, through the questionnaires and laboratory test, we suggest that recognition of farmer about management and incidence of mastitis was very low, thus systemic educational program and public relations about mastitis management were need for dairy farmers.
