본 연구에서는 테트라싸이크린 항생제를 양이온선택성 전극의 담체로 사용한 막전극을 제작하고 알칼리 및 알칼리 토금속에 적용하여 전위차 감응도를 조사하였다. 제작된 전극은 지용성 첨가제의 유무와 관계없이 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온에 대해서 거의 이상적인 전위차 감응도를 나타내었다. 또한 $Mg^{2+}$를 제외한 다른 양이온에도 이상적인 네른스트값에 80% 이상의 감응도와 $10^{-5}$ 이하의 검출한계를 나타내었다. 수명, 감응시간, 재현성 등도 이온선택성 전극에 응용하기에 문제가 없었다.

The objective of this study was to develop a differential medium with improved selectivity for the isolation of Bacillus cereus. Mannitol egg yolk polymyxin medium supplemented with D-galactose allowed the differentiation of diarrheal- and emetic-type B. cereus through pH monitoring. The pH of the medium decreased significantly when incubating the emetic-type B. cereus, whereas the pH change was not significant when incubating the diarrheal-type. The addition of pH indicators, such as methyl red and phenol red, to the medium allowed visual differentiation between diarrheal- and emetic-type B. cereus. A solid agar medium was also developed by optimizing the concentrations of medium components such as monosaccharides, agar, egg yolk enrichment, pH indicators, and antibiotics. This study indicates the possibility of applying selective media for the differentiation of diarrheal- and emetic-type B. cereus.

This study was carried out to compare the efficacy and selectivity of TOS and BS media for enumeration of bifidobacteria in commercial fermented milk products. First, bifidobacteria was isolated from 20 fermented milk products, and all isolated bifidobacteria were identified by genomic technology as Bifidobacterium lactis. The two media significantly differed from each other with regard to the recovery of B. lactis, that is, the recovery of this organism was as much as 6 logs lower on BS medium than on TOS. When the concentration of BS solution (mixture of paromomycin sulfate, neomycin, sodium propionate, and lithium chloride) used in BS medium was reduced to 50% (BS50), a relatively high percentage recovery of bifidobacteria from pure cultures was achieved. Susceptibility tests to antibiotics and tests for selective agents for the isolated bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria were conducted. The BS solution inhibited some lactic acid bacteria and Bifidobacterium species, while mupirocin (MU) suppressed the growth of all tested lactic acid bacteria but not Bifidobacterium. As compared with BS50 medium, TOS with or without MU showed good bifidobacteria recovery and readily distinguishable colonies; in particular, TOS supplemented with MU had a high selectivity for bifidobacteria. In conclusion, all results suggested that TOS medium with or without MU was found to be suitable for selective enumeration of bifidobacteria from mixed cultures in fermented milk, and better in that capacity than BS medium.

In order to evaluate the in vitro synergic effect of Mahwangyounpae-tang which was a traditional poly-herbal formula has been used in the treatment of respiratory diseases in oriental medicine, and quinolone antibiotics, ciprofloxacin (CPFX), the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), $MIC_{50}$ and MIC90 of single use of quinolones and concomitant treatment with Mahwangyounpae-tang against 5 strains of aerobic gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella peumoniae, Hemophilus influenzae, Citrobacter freundii and Pseudomonas aeruginosae. The obtained results were as follows : In the case of aerobic gram negative bacteria, the MIC, $MIC_{50}$ and $MIC_{90}$ against Klebsiella peumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosae was significantly decreased in concomitant treated groups with Mahwangyounpae-tang compared to those of single treated groups of CPFX, respectively. However, no significant changes were demonstrated against Echerichia coli, Hemophilus influenzae and Citrobacter freundii. According to these results, it is considered as the in vitro antibacterial activity of CPFX was dramatically increased by concomitant use of Mahwangyounpae-tang against some strains of aerobic gram negative bacteria and the increase and selectivity of antibacterial activities against strains were chosen by the selectivity of Mahwangyounpae-tang not CPFX activity.

Papiliocin, from the swallowtail butterfly, Papilio xuthus, shows high bacterial cell selectivity against Gram-negative bacteria. Recently, we designed a 22mer analog with N-terminal helix from $Lys^3$ to $Ala^{22}$, PapN. It shows outstanding antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria with low toxicity against mammalian cells. In this study, we determined the 3-D structure of PapN in 300 mM DPC micelle using NMR spectroscopy and investigated the interactions between PapN and DPC micelles. The results showed that PapN has an amphipathic ${\alpha}$-helical structure from $Lys^3$ to $Lys^{21}$. STD-NMR and DOSY experiment showed that this helix is important in binding to the bacterial cell membrane. Furthermore, we tested antibacterial activities of PapN in the presence of salt for therapeutic application. PapN was calcium- and magnesium-resistant in a physiological condition, especially against Gram-negative bacteria, implying that it can be a potent candidate as peptide antibiotics.

본 연구는 항균성 코팅제의 개념과 동향파악으로 항균성 코팅제의 연구개발의 방향을 설정하는데 도움을 주기 위한 것이다. 항균제는 미생물을 제거하거나 성장을 저지하는데 사용되는 화합물이며 항균 코팅제에 함유되는 항균제용 재료는 무기물, 금속, 저분자 유기물, 천연유기물, 고분자가 있다. 항균코팅제는 생활용품, 병원용품, 산업용품, 전자제품, 의류, 건축 내장재 등의 표면의 항균성 부여에 쓰인다. 기존 항생제는 세균의 세포벽을 손상하지 않고 미생물을 침투하나 항균성 고분자는 세포막을 파괴하므로 항생제의 내성을 방지할 수 있다. 대부분의 고분자 항균제는 양이온 고분자에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 항균제의 분자설계와 코팅제 배합의 합리화로 항균제의 선택성, 내구성, 독성 문제가 개선될 것이다.

Herpes simplex viruses(HSV) are one of the most common infectious virus of man. Though chemotherapies and antibiotics against HSV have been developed in many countries, but anti-HSV agents were not satisfactory to mankind by their toxic reaction and side effects. In order to search for anti-HSV agents from Korean traditional prescriptions, we extended the number of specimens. Both methanol extract and boilling water extract of the Korean traditional prescriptions were screened to detect anti-HSV activities by MTT assay. Korean traditional prescriptions showing anti-HSV activities as methanl extracts were Paekyopsan, Chesupwilyungtang, Yongdamsagantang, and prescription 11. Four methanol extracts showing anti-HSV activities were freationated by hexane and their efficacies were tested. Hexane freationations of Paekyopsan, Chesupwilyungtang, and prescription 11 showed in anti-HSV activities both haxane and methanol fractionation.

Staphylococcus aureus integrated with mecA gene, which codes for penicillin-binding protein 2a, is resistant to all penicillins and other beta-lactam antibiotics, resulting in poor treatment expectations in skin and soft tissue infections. The development of a simple, sensitive and portable biosensor for mecA gene analysis in S. aureus is urgently needed. Herein, we propose a dual-toehold-probe (sensing probe)-mediated exonuclease-III (Exo-III)-assisted signal recycling for portable detection of the mecA gene in S. aureus. When the target mecA gene is present, it hybridizes with the sensing probe, initiating Exo III-assisted dual signal recycles, which in turn release numerous "3" sequences. The released "3" sequences initiate catalytic hairpin amplification, resulting in the fixation of a sucrase-labeled H2 probe on the surface of magnetic beads (MBs). After magnet-based enrichment of an MB-H1-H2-sucrase complex and removal of a liquid supernatant containing free sucrase, the complex is then used to catalyze sucrose to glucose, which can be quantitatively detected by a personal glucose meter. With a limit of detection of 4.36 fM for mecA gene, the developed strategy exhibits high sensitivity. In addition, good selectivity and anti-interference capability were also attained with this method, making it promising for antibiotic tolerance analysis at the point-of-care.

Cecropin A and papiliocin are novel 37-residue cecropin-like antimicrobial peptides isolated from insect. We have confirmed that papiliocin possess high bacterial cell selectivity and has an ${\alpha}$-helical structure from $Lys^3$ to $Lys^{21}$ and from $Ala^{25}$ to $Val^{35}$, linked by a hinge region. In this study, we demonstrated that both peptides showed high antimicrobial activities against multi-drug resistant Gram negative bacteria as well as fungi. Interactions between these cecropin-like peptides and phospholipid membrane were studied using CD, dye leakage experiments, and NMR experiments, showing that both peptides have strong permeabilizing activities against bacterial cell membranes and fungal membranes as well as $Trp^2$ and $Phe^5$ at the N-terminal helix play an important role in attracting cecropin-like peptides to the negatively charged bacterial cell membrane. Cecropin-like peptides can be potent peptide antibiotics against multi-drug resistant Gram negative bacteria and fungi.
