Antibiotics used for suppressing Agrobacterium in plant transformation procedure might have negligible effects on plant tissues and regeneration. The effects of antibiotics on growth suppression of Agrobacterium and plant regeneration were investigated for enhancing Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using wheat mature embryos. Antibiotics tested, except carbenicillin, were able to suppress that embryos were coated with a layer of Agrobacterium cells in callus induction medium. Agrobacterium growth was suppressed minimally at 50 mg/l of timentin, while cefotaxime and clavamox were completely suppressed at relative high concentration of 250 mg/l. In the treatment of carbenicillin, initiation of growth suppression of Agrobacterium occurred at 750 mg/l of concentration because Agrobacterium KYRT1 contains the carbenicillin resistant gene. In Agrobacterium inoculation, effects of antibiotics were significantly different on the rate of callus induction and shoot formation. Almost embryos were induced calli at 50 mg/l of timentin whereas callus induction rate was achieved above 90% at 100 mg/l and 250 mg/l of cefotaxime and clavamox, respectively. Shoot formation rate was higher in the treatment of timentin than that of cefotaxime and clavamox at 500 mg/l of concentration, respectively. Timentin can be used as a good antibiotics in Agrobacterium-mediated wheat transformation.

Bacteria resistant to various antibiotics have recently become an issue of the utmost importance. Resistant strains are not uncommon, even in municipal drinking water sources. The health threat posed by resistant, pathogenic bacteria has serious ramifications for both public health and agriculture. In this study, we isolated antibiotic resistant bacteria from water samples from the Han River, Korea, which is contaminated by the wastewater from many industrial complexes, hospitals, agricultural and animal husbandry estates, and from wastewater treatment facilities. We determined the degrees of resistance to various antibiotics exhibited by the isolated strains. The similarities between the isolated $E.$ $coli$ strains were examined, using the pulsed field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing, in order to trace their origins and to explore the syntechnic adaptations and pathogenicity of the various strains and relate these to their genetic sequence. A total of 25 $E.$ $coli$ strains were isolated from six stations along the Han River. All the 25 strains exhibited resistance to ampicillin. We also investigated resistance to amoxicillin, clavulanic acid, cefazolin, cofoxitin, cefotaxime, cefpodoxime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, nalidixic acid, aztreonam, ciprofloxacin, streptomycin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol and imipenem. Based on the ESBL detection, 14 strains belonged to the ESBL producing strains. The number of the clonal complex producing strains was 5 among the 14 isolated strains. The 5 strains were included in the 168, 23, 38, 469, 156 clonal complex, respectively. The rest 9 strains were not included in the clonal complex, but showed independent STs.

In order to develop oral cephalosporin having a new substituent at 3 position, the synthesis of cephalosporins modified at C-3 and the effect of the substituents on the oral absorption is studied. 7-[(Z)-2-(2-Aminothiazole- 4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamidol-3-[4-(2-pyridyl )piperazinyl] thiocarbonylthiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (CEN1) and 7-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazole-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-[4-(2-pyrimid yl)piperazinylthiocarbonylthiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (CEN2) were synthesized from 4-(2-piridyl)piperazinyl dithiocarbamate potassium salt or 4-(2-pirimidyl)piperazinyl dithiocarbamate potassium salt and cefotaxime. Also pivaloyloxymethyl esters of CEN1 and CEN2, pivaloyloxymethyl 7-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazole-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-[4-(2-pyridyl )piperazinyllthiocarbonylthiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (CENIP) and pivaloyloxymethyl 7-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazole-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamidol-3- [4-(2-pyrimid yl)piperazinyllthiocarbonylthiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (CEN2P) were synthesized. The in vitro activities of two new oral cephalosporins, CEN1 and CEN2, were compared with the in vitro activities of cefaclor and cefotaxime against a variety of bacterial species. CEN2 has a broad antibacterial spectrum covering Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, similar to that exhibited by CEN1 and cefotaxime. CEN1 and CEN2 were more active in vitro than cefaclor against Streptococcus pyogenes, Klebsiella aerogenes and Enterobacter cloacae.

인삼 뿌리 절편으로 부터 모상근 유기를 위한 최적 조건을 확립하고자 Agrobacterium rhirogenes와 인삼 뿌리 절편의 항생제 내성 조사 및 최적의 모상근 유도 배지를 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. NaOCl로 인삼 뿌리를 멸균하였을 때, 오염 정도가 감소하면서 조직의 손상이 일어나지 않는 NaOCl의 농도는 7% NaOCl에서 15-20분, 9% NaOCl에서 5분으로 나타났다. 인삼근은 년수가 증가할수록 오염 정도가 심하였으며, 특히 6년근중 표피가 있는 처리구는 오염 정도가 매우 높았다. Agrobacterium의 성장억제를 위한 항생제는 tetracycline이 가장 효과적이었으며, 30mg/L 이상의 농도에서 균의 성장이 억제되었다. 하지만 30mg/L tetracycline에서 인삼 조직이 고사하였으며, cefotaxime(500mg/L), carbenicillin(500mg/L)에서 균의 성장을 완전히 억제하였으며, 조직의 손상이 일어나지 않았다. 3년근 인삼에서 모상근 유도을 위한 배지로는 1/2MS 배지에 500mg/L의 cefotaxime이 첨가된 배지가 가장 좋았으며, 인삼 뿌리 절편에 Agrobacterium을 발라주는 것 보다는 균과 공동배양할때가 절편이 좋았다. Agrobacterium접종 2주 후부터 callus가 유기되기 시작한 후, 다시 2주 후에 모상근이 유도되었다. 유도된 hairy roots는 PCR에 의하여 rol C유전자를 조사함으로서 형질전환체임을 확인하였다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of CTX-M β-lactamase and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes, and the pattern of antibiotic resistance in cefotaxime-resistant gramnegative bacteria. A total 126 gram-negative bacteria were isolated from hospitalized dogs and cats between 2018 and 2019. The most predominant isolates were E. coli (n=41), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=25), Proteus mirabilis (n=14), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=9), Sphingomonas paucimobilis (n=7), and Enterobacter cloacae and Serratia marcescens (respectively, n=5). Cefotaxime-resistant isolates were identified in 26.2% (33 isolates) of 126 gram-negative bacteria. CTX-M type β-lactamase were found in 15 isolates (10 E. coli, 1 Ent, cloacae and 4 K. pneumoniae, respectively). Among the CTX-M producing gram-negative bacteria, CTX-M-1 and CTX-M-9 were detected in 10 (66.7%) and 5 (33.3%) isolates, respectively. While, CTX-M-2 and CTX-M-8 were not found. PMQR genes were detected in 12 (36.4%) isolates (4 E. coli, 2 Ent, cloacae and 6 K. pneumoniae, respectively), and the predominant PMQR gene was aac(6')-lb-cr (n=9), followed by qnrB (n=8) and qnrS (n=1) alone or in combination. qnrA and qepA were not found. Additionally, 9 (60%) of 12 PMQR positive isolates were co-existence with CTX-M-1 or CTX-M-9. CTX-M or PMQR producing isolates showed highly resistance to penicillins (100%), cephalosporins (100~66.7%), monobactams (72.2%), and non-β-lactam antibiotics (94.4~61.1%) such as quinolones, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline and gentamicin. These findings showed CTX-M-1, CTX-M-9, aac(6')-lb-cr and qnrB were highly prevalent in cefotaxime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates from companion animals in our region. Moreover, PMQR genes were closely associated with CTX-M type β-lactamase.

Binding of sic cephalosporins (cefotaxime, cefuroxime, cafazoline, cephalothin, cephaloridine, cephacetrile) to human serum albumin was studied. Fluorescence probe technique and difference spectrophotometry were employed to evaluate the nature and degree of association of cephalosporin-albumin complex. 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-surfonate was used as the fluorescence probe, and 2-(4'-hydroxybenzeneazo)benzoic acid as the UV spectrophotometric probe. Competitive bindings between cephalosporins and probe were observed. For the binding of cephalosporins to human serum albumin, three binding sites were identified by fluorescence probe technique but four binding constants of cephalosporins to human serum albumin measured by fluorescence probe technique are higher than those meausred by UV spectrophotometry.

Contamination of bacterial infection is one of serious problems in in vitro culture system of root crops. From the contaminated tubes over 140 of petiole cultures of Pinellia ternata, a medicinal plant, 4 genera 8species 48 strains of bacteria, including Aeromonas and Pseudomonas, were isolated and identified and another 8 strains were not fully identified. Most of them were motile Gram positive bacteria as in common in early stage of in vitro cultures. Six strains of bacteria, 5 of Gram negative, including Enterobacter, and 1 of Gram positive, were identified from the embryonic axes cultures of tea plant. From the susceptibility test to pre-screened 5 antibiotics, all of the bacteria except for 2 species of Pseudomonas were susceptible to cefotaxime 60∼100mg/L. While 60mg/L erythromycin only was effective to Pseudomonas. Combination of erythromycin 20mg/L and cefotaxime 60mg/L totally suppressed the growth of all bacterial strains tested. Susceptibility test of bacteria from tea embryonic axes cultures showed similar results. Combination of erythromycin 35mg/L and cefotaxime 60mg/L was effective to 15 bacterial strains and partially effective to 1 unidentified.
