1살령 수컷 버미즈 비단뱀(Burmese python, Python molurus bivittatus)이 탈피 후 좌측 눈이 흐려지는 것을 주증으로 내원하였다. 뱀은 신체검사와 병력을 토대로, 서브스펙타클의 농양(subspectacular abscess)으로 진단되었다. 원인이 된 병원체는 메티실린 내성 황색 포도상구균(methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA)으로 확인되었다. MRSA는 인수공통적으로 중요한 병원체이며 공중보건과 수의학에서도 중요하게 여겨진다. 이 증례 보고는 MRSA에 감염된 뱀에 대한 최초의 보고이다.

In an investigation of indigenous prokaryotic species in Korea, a total of 57 bacterial strains assigned to the classes Betaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria were isolated from diverse environments. Samples were collected from fresh water, natural caves, soil, paddy fields, lakes, sea water, jeotgal (fermented seafood), salt flats, soil from abandoned mines, plant roots, digestive organs of both Japanese crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) and Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus) and tidal flats. From the high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (>98.7%) and formation of robust phylogenetic clades with closely related species, it was determined that each strain belonged to an independent and predefined bacterial species within either the Betaproteobacteria or Gammaproteobacteria. There is no official report or publication that describes these 57 proteobacterial species in Korea. Overall, in the class Betaproteobacteria there were 16 species in 12 genera of 4 families in the order Burkholderiales and two species in two genera of one family in the order Neisseriales. Within the class Gammaproteobacteia, there were five species in four genera of four families in the order Alteromonadales, 12 species in 11 genera of one family in the order Enterobacteriales, four species in four genera of three families in the order Oceanospirillales, 11 species in four genera of two families in the order Pseudomonadales, two species in the order Vibrionales and five species in five genera of one family in the order Xanthomonadales. Gram reaction, colony and cell morphology, basic biochemical characteristics, isolation source and strain IDs are described in the species description section.
