1-Deoxynojirimycin which is a potent intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor was purified from the culture broth by ion exchange chromatography, Sephadex LH20 column chromatography, TSK gel chromatography and HPLC respectively. Acute toxicity of 1-deoxynojirimycin, which was loaded through the oral as dose of 200mg/kg, was investigated in IRC mouse. None of the tested IRC mice were not dead and increase of body weight showed also the same results in comparison with control mice. The antimicrobial susceptibility of 20 pathogenic strains against 3 antidiabetic compounds (1-deoxynojirimycin, AO-128, acarbose) were obtained by agar dilution method. All of the three antidiabetic compounds has very weak antimicrobial activity (MIC>100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml).

Antimicrobial activities of three different extracts from experimentally prepared scute decoction, commercial scute decoction and an extract from Scutellaria baicalensis were evaluated and their inhibitory potencies were compared. Both the extracts from scute decoction and Scutellaria showed rather strong antimicrobial activities against E. coli and St. aureus at the low concentration of 2.5 mg/ml. On the other hand, the extract of commercial scute decoction was found to show an inhibitory effect at higher concentration (75 mg/ml). All preparations did not inhibit the fungal growth of Aspergillus niger. Both Sh. dysenteriae (Subgroup A) and Sh. boydii (Subgroup C) which were used for determination of the strain differences in Shigelia spp. had almost the same susceptibility to the extract from sucute decoction.

다제내성(multidrug-resistant, MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii 균주의 출현 및 확산이 전 세계적으로 보고되어 왔는데, 이들 대부분은 생물막 형성능력을 가지고 있다. 생물막 형성은 소독 및 건조에 대해 세균이 저항할 수 있도록 해주는 중요한 병독성 인자이다. 본 연구에서는 생물막을 형성하는 A. baumannii 임상 분리주를 대상으로 항균제 내성 기전에 대한 유전적 기초를 조사하였다. 크리스탈 바이올렛 분석법을 통해 생물막 형성능력을 확인한 결과 46균주가 생물막을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 이어서 REP-PCR을 수행하여 서로 다른 클론에 속하는 16 균주를 선택한 후 이 균주들을 대상으로 항균제 내성 인자를 검출하였다. 본 연구에서 분리된 9개 non-MDR (0.96) 균주와 7개의 MDR (1.05) 균주의 평균 생물량은 서로 달랐지만, 이 차이는 유의하지 않았다. 대부분의 생물막 형성 MDR 균주는 다양한 항균제 내성인자 ($bla_{OXA-23}$, armA 및 gyrA 및 parC의 돌연변이)를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 대부분의 non-MDR 균주는 항균제 내성인자를 포함하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 우리의 결과는 A. baumannii 균주의 생물막 형성능력이 항균제 감수성과 상관관계가 적음을 시사한다. 또한 MDR A. baumannii 임상 분리주의 출현은 대개 항균제 내성과 관련된 유전자의 돌연변이나 또는 다양한 항균제 내성인자의 획득에 의한 것으로 사료된다.

The rational approach to antimicrobial therapy of infected root canals is based on accurate identification of the infecting organism and on the organism's susceptibility to antimicrobial agents as measured by standardized techniques. In establishing criteria for the selection of antibiotics, a susceptibility test should be performed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the susceptibility of 224 aerobic and anaerobic microbial strains isolated from infected root canals to various antibiotics. This was performed by using 7 antibiotic sensi-disc: Penicillin (10 units), Ampicillin (10 mcg), Tetracycline (30 mcg), Streptomycin (10 mcg), Kanamycin (30 mcg), Lincomycin (2 mcg), and Clindamycin (2 mcg). The results were as follows; 1. Strains isolated from infected root canals was shown to be most susceptible to Clindamycin, while Streptomycin exhibited least antibacterial properties. 2. Anaerobes were found to be susceptible to Penicillin, Ampicillin, and Clindamycin. 3. Streptomycin and Kanamycin were shown to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis, however, unidentified G(+) cocci organisms were found to be resistant to these agents. 4. Bifidobacterium sp. was susceptible to Lincomycin while G(+) rods were resistant to it. 5. Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus sp., and anaerobes were highly susceptible to Clindamycin. 6. All of the antibiotics tested were shown to be very effective against Eubacterium sp.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection as a serious problem in both adults and children can induce chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and possibly gastric cancer. The aim of the current study was to survey antibiotic resistance and also to determine influence of PPAR$\gamma$ polymorphism in patients with H. pylori infection. During an 11-month-period, 98 H. pylori isolates were collected from 104 biopsy specimens. In vitro susceptibility of H. pylori isolates to 4 antimicrobial agents metronidazole, clarithromycin, amoxicillin and tetracycline were assessed by quantitative method according to European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) guideline. PPAR$\gamma$ polymorphism was determined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. The frequency of H. pylori infection in our study was 94.2%. In vitro susceptibility data showed that highest level of resistance was related to metronidazole (66.3%), and the majority of H. pylori isolates were highly susceptible to amoxicillin and tetracycline (94.9% and 96.9%, respectively). Genotypic frequencies were 25.5% for CC (Pro12Pro), 40.8% for GC (Pro12Ala) and 33.7% for GG (Ala12Ala). In our study, CG genotype had highest distributions among infected patients with H. pylori. The study suggests that the PPAR-$\gamma$ Pro12Ala polymorphism could be evaluated as a potential genetic marker for susceptibility to gastric cancer in the presence of H. pylori infection.

The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify bacteria from the 4 patients with non-odontogenic infectious lesions (mucormycosis, chronic inflammation from wound infection, and two actinomycosis) and determine their antimicrobial susceptibility against eight antibiotics. Bacterial culture was performed under three culture conditions (anaerobic, $CO_2$, and aerobic incubator). The bacterial strains were identified by 16S rRNA gene (16S rDNA) sequence comparison analysis method. For investigating the antimicrobial susceptibility of the bacteria against eight antibiotics, penicillin G, amoxicillin, tetracycline, cefuroxime, erythromycin, clindamycin, vancomycin, and Augmentin$^{(R)}$ (amoxicillin + clavulanic acid), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measurement was performed using broth microdilution assay. Nosocomial pathogens such as Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, and Neisseria flavescens were isolated from mucormycosis. Veillonella parvula, Enterobacter hormaechei, and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus were isolated from chronic inflammatory lesion. Actinomyces massiliensis was isolated from actinomycosis in parotid gland. Capnocytophaga ochracea was isolated from actinomycosis in buccal region in anaerobic condition. There was no susceptible antibiotic to all bacteria in mucormycosis. Tetracycline was susceptible to all bacteria in chronic inflammation. C. ochracea was resistant to vancomycin and penicillin G; and other antibiotics showed susceptibility to all bacteria in actinomycosis. The results indicated that the combined treatment of two or more antibiotics is better than single antibiotic treatment in mucormycosis, and penicillin is the first recommended antibiotic to treat actinomycosis.
