Bacterial contamination is an unavoidable finding of the semen collection process in boar and can lead in deleterious effects on semen quality and longevity if left uncontrolled. The purpose of this study is to identify the bacteria in extended boar semen and to select the effective antimicrobials to control of the contaminants. Of 116 extended boar semen samples submitted from eight AI centers in Korea, 39 (33.6%) samples were positive for bacterial contamination. Among 39 contaminated semen, most of them (84.6%) were contaminated with one or two bacterial species and there was no significant difference between two age groups $(\leq\;24\;and\;>\;24\;month\;old).$ Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (n = 18) was the most predominant bacterium followed by Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (n = 12), Sphingomonas paucimobilis (n = 12), Myroides spp. (n = 5), Ochrobactrum anthropi (n = 3), and so on. Enrofloxacin (72.9%), florfenicol (72.9%), bacitracin (49.2%) and tylosin (49.2%) showed higher sensitivity compared with penicillin (13.6%) or aminoglycosides (6.8%-18.6%). Brucella spp., Leptospira spp., Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Mycoplasma hyorhinis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex were not detected in semen by PCR.

국내에서 서식하는 10종의 곤충에서 분리한 49균주의 장내세균으로 7종의 주요한 식물병원성 곰팡이에 대하여 항균활성을 검토하였다. 49개의 균주들은 담배장님노린재(Nesidiocoris tenuis)에서 Cedecea sp. 포함 4균주, 사슴벌레붙이(Odontotaenius disjunctus)에서 Enterobacter sp. 포함 3균주, 흰개미(Reticulitermes speratus)에서 Acinetobacter sp. 포함 4균주, 톱다리개미허리노린재(Riptortus clavatus)에서 Clavibacter sp. 포함 4균주, 열점박이잎벌레(Lema decempunctata)에서 Bacillus sp. 포함 11균주, 이십팔점박이무당벌레(Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata)에서 Enterococcus sp. 포함 3균주, 무당벌레(Harmonia axyridis)에서 Staphylococccus sp. 포함 2균주, 콩풍뎅이(Popillia mutans)에서 Enterobacter asburiae 균을 포함한 5균주, 물땡땡이(Hydrophilus acuminatus)에서는 Aeromonas sp. 포함 7균주가 팔맥풍뎅이(Anomala octiescostata)에서는 Brucella sp. 를 포함한 7균주 등이 분리, 동정되었다. 이 49균주를 항균활성을 측정하기 위해 7종의 식물병원성 곰팡이인 토마토겹둥근무늬병(A. solani), 고추탄저병(C. gloeosporioides), 잿빛곰팡이병(B. cinerea), 시들음병(F. oxysporum), 고추역병(P. capsici), 벼문고병(R. solani), 상추균핵병(S. sclerotiorum)과 함께 PDA배지에서 대치 배양한 결과, A. solani에 대하여 항균활성을 갖는 26균주, B. cinerea에 항균활성을 갖는 6균주, C. gloeosporioides에 항균활성을 갖는 13균주, F. oxysporum에 항균활성을 갖는 11균주, P. capsici에 항균활성을 갖는 17균주, R. solani에 항균활성을 갖는 2균주와 S. sclerotiorum에 대하여 항균활성을 갖는 2균주로 나타났다. 항균활성의 결과 7종의 모든 식물병원성 곰팡이에 항균활성을 갖는 Pseudomonas aeruginosa를 선발하였다. 생물활성은 고추에 직접 분무 및 접종 처리하였을 때 고추 탄저병균(C. gloeosporioides)에 대하여 항균효과가 뚜렷하게 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다.

There are many advantages when using IIF and DNA probe methods over anaerobic culture method in that they are time-and effort-saving, more precise and more sensitive. Furthermore, in IIF and DNA probe methods, the detection is possible only with small amount of bacteria, the quantitative analysis is possible, and the cell viability is not necessary. The purpose of this study is to observe the incidence of P.endodontalis by carrying out anaerobic culture, IIF and colony lift using DNA probe method respectively, and to compare these 3 methods in terms of effectiveness and sensitivity in order to identify the most effective detection method. 30 teeth with at least one clinical symptoms, with single canal, and with pulp necrosis were sampled. For sampling bacteria, access cavity was prepared after disinfecting tooth and its surroundings. Then the paper point was inserted up to the periapical area, leave there for a while, and finally it was placed into PRAS Ringer's sol. and PBS sol. In anaerobic culture method, P.endodontalis was identified by biochemical tests after subculturing black and brown colonies which were produced after 7 days of incubation on BAP and Brucella BAP in anaerobic chamber. To identify P.endodontalis in IIF method, species-specific polyclonal rabbit-antisera of P.endodontalis(ATCC 35406) was reacted with sampled PBS sol. dispensed onto glass slide, and then P.endodontalis was examined by phase contrast microscopy after incubating with Goat anti-rabbit lgG conjugated to Fluorescein isothiocyanate. For colony lift using DNA probe method, membranes were laid over colonies on the surface of BAP and were hybridized with cloned DNA probe of P.endodontalis. The existence of P.endodontalis was then identified by the methods of chemiluminescent detection and color metric detection. Black colony was found in 11 teeth out of 30 teeth and P.endodontalis was detected in 6 teeth (20 %) by anaerobic culture method, 16 teeth (53 %) by IIF method, and 7 teeth (23 %) by DNA probe method. IIF method is significantly better in detecting P.endodontalis than DNA probe method and anaerobic culture method. There was no significant differences between DNA probe method and anaerobic culture method. There was significant correlation between the formation of black colony and the existence of P.endodontalis. The probability of detecting P.endodontalis when black colony being present is 2.89 times higher than when not being present. There was significant relationship between the foul odor of clinical symptoms and P.endodontalis. The sensitivity of existing P.endodontalis when foul odor being present was 93.75 %, while the specificity of not existing P.endodontalis when foul odor not being present was 28.57 %. These results suggested that the probes of P.endodontalis will be used to decide the method and prognosis in endodontic treatments.
