Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is an intestinal commensal bacterium implicated as a risk factor for colon cancer. The key virulence factor is a secreted toxin called B. fragilis toxin (BFT). In this study we used an in vitro bioassay to examine the prevalence of ETBF in colonic washings from patients with colorectal polyps and normal control patients. We found that 9.3% of polyp patients and 10.9% of non-polyp patients harbored ETBF, respectively. A total of nine ETBF clinical isolates were isolated and confirmed to be positive for the BFT gene by PCR analysis and the ability to induce IL-8 secretion in the colonic epithelial cell line HT29/c1. Two of the ETBF clinical strains were characterized further in vitro and in vivo. We found that the two ETBF clinical isolates induced E-cadherin cleavage in HT29/c1 cells and promoted colonic inflammation in C57BL/6 mice. Our results indicate that the prevalence of ETBF in polyp patients were similar in non-polyp patients suggesting that ETBF carriage does not positively correlate to polyp incidence.

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF)는 병독소 인자로 알려진 장독소를 생성하는 균종이다. B. fragilis enterotoxin (BFT)은 bft-1, bft-2 및 bft-3 세 개의 유전자 아형들이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 임상 검체에서 분리된 B. fragilis에서 bft 유전자의 유무와 BFT 음성 및 양성 균주의 항균제 내성을 조사하였다. 국내의 한 대학병원에서 8년간(2006~2013년) 장외 검체에서 분리된 B. fragilis는 총 537주이었다. 다중중합연쇄반응으로 시험하여 bft 유전자 아형을 확인하였다. BFT 음성 74주와 양성 33주를 포함한 B. fragilis 107주의 항균제 감수성은 CLSI 한천희석법으로 시험하였다. 임상 검체에서 분리된 B. fragilis의 bft 유전자 검출율은 30% 이었고, 이 중 혈액과 혈액 외 장외 검체 분리주에서는 각각 33%, 29% 이었다. ETBF 중에서 가장 흔한 아형은 bft-1 이었고, 그 다음은 bft-2, bft-3 순이었다(bft-1: 77%, bft-2: 14%, bft-3: 9%). BFT-음성과 양성 균주의 내성률은 일부 항균제에 대해서 차이가 있었다(BFT-음성 균주: piperacillin-tazobactam 3%, cefoxitin 5%, imipenem 1%, clindamycin 38%; BFT-양성 균주: piperacillin-tazobactam 3%, cefoxitin 6%, imipenem 3%, clindamycin 42%). BFT-음성 및 BFT-양성 균주 모두는 chloramphenicol과 metronidazole에 대한 내성은 없었다. 결론적으로, 혈액 분리주에서의 ETBF 검출율은 혈액 외 장외 검체 분리주에서와 비슷하였고, 가장 흔한 유전자 아형은 bft-1 이었다. 항균제 내성은 BFT 양성 균주가 음성 균주보다 대체로 높았으나 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다.

본 연구에서는 인체 내 장내 세균 및 병원성 식중독 세균에 선인장 추출물이 미치는 영향과 항산화, 항고혈압 활성에 대하여 분석하였다. 항균활성은 96well-plate법과 paper disc법을 이용하여 실험하였으며 줄기 추출물의 경우 96well-plate 및 paper disc법의 결과, 장내유해균인 Eubacterium limosum 및 Clostridium perfringens, C. butyricum, C. difficile과 Staphylococcus aureus에 대하여 높은 억제율을 보였으나 Bacteroides fragilis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus acidophilis, Streptococcus thermophilus의 경우 억제율을 나타내지 않았다. 열매 추출물의 경우 장내유해균 및 장내유익균에 Bacteroides fragilis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus acidophilis, and Streptococcus thermophilis에 대하여 억제율을 나타내지 않았다. 또한 줄기 추출물의 경우 열 및 pH에서도 장내미생물에 대한 항균활성에 안정함을 나타내었다. 선인장 추출물의 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 함량 및 DPPH 전자공여능을 측정한 결과 열처리하지 않은 열매와 줄기 추출물의 폴리페놀은 3.02 mg/g, 5.85 mg/g, 플라보노이드는 1.04 mg/g, 2.1 mg/g, 전자공여능은 87, 88%로 높은 수율을 나타내었다. 선인장 추출물의 항고혈압활성은 줄기 추출물의 경우 88.8% 열매 추출물의 경우 69.2%의 항고혈압활성을 보였으며 상기 결과를 종합할 때, 선인장 줄기추출물은 장내 유해균의 억제 및 유익균의 증진을 통한 장내 균총 개선을 위한 기능성 식품소재로 활용할 수 있다고 판단된다.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of different levels of dietary crude protein (CP) on composition of odorous compounds and bacterial communities in pig manure. A total of 48 male pigs (average initial body weight 45 kg) fed diets containing three levels of dietary CP (20%, 17.5%, and 15%) and their slurry samples were collected from the pits under the floor every week for one month. Changes in composition of odorous compounds and bacterial communities were analyzed by gas chromatography and 454 FLX titanium pyrosequencing systems, respectively. Levels of phenols, indoles, short chain fatty acid and branched chain fatty acid were lowest (p<0.05) in CP 15% group among three CP levels. Relative abundance of Bacteroidetes phylum and bacterial genera including Leuconostoc, Bacillus, Atopostipes, Peptonphilus, Ruminococcaceae_uc, Bacteroides, and Pseudomonas was lower (p<0.05) in CP 15% than in CP 20% group. There was a positive correlation (p<0.05) between odorous compounds and bacterial genera: phenol, indole, iso-butyric acid, and iso-valeric acid with Atopostipes, p-cresol and skatole with Bacteroides, acetic acid and butyric acid with AM982595_g of Porphyromonadaceae family, and propionic acid with Tissierella. Taken together, administration of 15% CP showed less production of odorous compounds than 20% CP group and this result might be associated with the changes in bacterial communities especially whose roles in protein metabolism.

Fecal microflora of 12 breast-fed(BF) and 15 formula-fed(FF) infants were investigated at 1 year after birth and the results were compared to those that had previously been obtained from the same subjects at 1 week after birth, and before and after weaning. At 1 year the two lactation groups showed no significant differences both in frequencies and numbers of each major bacterical species, except eubacteria, which showed higher frequency in FF infants. Bifidobacteria appeared as dominant species in 50% BF infants, heres bacteroides in 73.3% FF infants. Fecal pH was lower, though insignificant, in BF infants(6.5$\pm$0.4) than in FF infants(6.8$\pm$0.5). In BF infants, the number of bifidobacteria, clostridia, and E. coli deceased from birth up to 1 year, whereas the number of bacteroides similar trends to BF infants except that the number of bifidobacteria increased, but insignificantly. This research showed that the floral differences resulted not from the age, but from the types of feeding and that breast feeding and that breast feeding could be better than formula feeding in the BF infants had more stable floral composition and bowels with lower pH, which can play a protection role against pathogen infection.
