The purpose of this study was to evaluate effect of chitosan-oligosaccharides (CHIOL) on hydrophobicity of pathogenic E coli including a field isolate from suckling piglet with diarrhea, E coli-O157 : H7, and E coli-O149 : K88ac. E coli field isolate appeared adhesion of 100% to n-hexadecane between 0.00125% and 0.05% CHIOL. E coli-O157 : H7 occurred adhesion of 69% and 64% under the level of 0.00125% and 0.025% CHIOL, respectively. E coli-O149 : K88ac showed adhesion of 100% in higher than 0.025% CHIOL. For cationic action, the adhesion of E coli isolate and E coli-O149 : K88ac to n-hexadecane were inhibited at level of higher than 10mM $Ca^{2+}$ but did not induce any difference among the concentrations used(p < 0.01). However, the adhesion of E coli-O157 : H7 to n-hexadecane was inhibited at level of higher than 50mM $Ca^{2+}$. In a field trial, control piglets showed average mortality of up to 58% during 3 days after the onset of diarrhea. In contrast, the prevalence of E coli-induced diarrhea in CHIOL-treated groups without mortality was dropped down to average 34% on the 1st day after the treatment of CHIOL, and average 2% on the 4th day. After then, piglets with diarrhea was not present. In conclusion, the low concentrations of CHIOL were most likely to associate with the enhancement of hydrophobicity to pathogenic E coli. Calcium inhibited the hydrophobicity of E coli by CHIOL. These results suggested that CHIOL could be played an efficient and reliable role in treating enteric colibacillosis of piglets.

There is growing concern about cross infection among the patients to patients, patients to staffs, and tools to patients in healthcare facilities, especially in dentistry. In this study, the most widely used dental impression materials were prepared and the synergy effect of Chlorhexidine and essential oil on antimicrobial activity was examined in the impression materials. Chlorhexidine concentration of 0.1 wt% and 0.5 wt% showed no antimicrobial activity on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Candida albicans. At 1.0 wt% Chlorhexidine, 0% of E. coli and 34.7% of Candida albicans were survived. Bergamot (Essential oil) concentration of 0.5 wt% and 1.0 wt% showed no antimicrobial activity on E. coli. At 2.0 wt% Bergamot oil, 71.9% of E. coli were survived. Tea tree oil (Essential oil) of 0.5 wt% showed no antimicrobial activity on E. coli. At 1.0 wt% Tea tree oil, 11.2% of E. coli was survived. At 2.0 wt% Tea tree oil, no E. coli was survived. However, no E. coli was survived at the concentration of 0.8 wt% Bergamot with 0.3 wt% Chlorhexidine. At the concentration of 0.8 wt% Tea Tree oil with 0.3 wt% Chlorhexidine, 1.3% of E. coli were survived. The experimental results showed that the synergy effects between Chlorhexidine and essential oils on antimicrobial activity were prominent.

E. coli was tested for their ability to uptake cadmium intracellularly, and the effect of zinc and calcium on cadmium toxicity to E. coli was observed. In addition, the effect of zinc and calcium on the uptake of cadimium was also studied. This study showed that living E. coli cells took up more cadmium than the dead cells. E. coli in the log phase uptake cadimiumm more actively than E. coli in the stationary phase. These results suggested that there may be metabolic reactions or compounds which encourage the uptake of cadimium. This study also showed that cadimium was sequestered by cell components of which molecular weight is about 30,000. Adding of zinc and calcium chloride reduced cadmium toxicity in E. coli and encouraged intracellular uptake by E coli. However adding of heavy metal solutions helped the microorganisms to adsorb more cadmium. Extremely high or low concentrations of zinc, however, did not affect cell viability.

Verotoxin을 산생하지 않은 Escherichia coli O157과 verotoxin을 산생하는 E coli(VTEC)를 건강한 소의 분변에서 분리하여 생화학적 및 유전적인 특성에 대해서 비교하였다. E coli O157 : nonH7(운동성은 있으나 H혈청형이 7이 아님)의 sorbitol 분해능과 ${\beta}-glucurondase$ 활성은 E coli O157 : H7이 나타내는 것과는 차이가 있었다. 그리고 uidA 유전자는 verotoxin 산생능과 상관없이 sorbitol과 ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ 음성인 E coli O157 : H7에서 특이적으로 검출되었다. 한편 6개 목장에서 수거한 소 분변 45예에서 VTEC를 분리한 결과, 7주(15.6%)가 분리되었으며 이들은 모두 sorbitol을 분해하였으며 ${\beta}-glucurondase$ 활성이 있었으나 장벽 부착인자를 지배하는 eaeA 유전자가 없었다. 비록 소가 VTEC의 보균원으로 추정되나, 정상 소에서 분리한 VTEC는 eaeA 유전자가 결여된 균주가 많으므로 공중위생학상 eaeA 유전자를 보유한 E coli 보다 위해성이 낮으며, 이러한 결과는 왜 사람에서 유행하는 VTEC 혈청형과 소에서 유행하는 것과 차이가 있는지를 일부 설명해준다.

Escherichia coli strains associated with diarrhea have been divided into the following six major categories on the basis of pathogenic mechanisms: enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC) and diffusely adherent E. coli (DAEC).$\^$15,18/ EPEC, EAggEC, and DAEC strains were classified by their ability to produce distinct patterns of adherence to cultured epithelial cells in virto: localized (LA), aggregative (AA), and diffuse (DA) adherence. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of the adherence patterns with AIDA-positive E. coli isolated from diarrheic pigs. (omitted)

This study was performed to fabricate a batch-type SPR biosensing system using a thiolated E. coli antibody coupling, and to explore the feasibility of real-time detection of E. coii in a stagnant sample solution. In advance. “O” and “K” antigenic serotype E. coli antibodies were thiolated with sulfo-LC-SPDP and dithiothreitol, and immobilized by chemisorption in the gold surface of compact SPR sensors. When the SPR biosensor immobilized with E. coli antibody monitored a E. coli solution, it took 3 to 5 min to stabilize. The SPR biosensing system developed in this study was able to detect E. coli in the range above 10$^4$ CFU/mL at the 0.05 significant level. Also, the SPR biosensor had possibility to significantly detect E. coli in the range of 10$^2$ to 10$^4$ CFU/mL in E. coli solutions. Meanwhile, when the SPR biosensor immobilized with 5. coli antibody was cleaned with NaOH solutions, its ability to detect E. coli largely decreased due to wash-out of the immobilized antibody. In order to reuse the SPR sensor, it should be antibody-immobilized newly.

E.coli ATCC 33456은 6가 크롬 환원능이 있다고 보고되어진 미생물보다 비교적 높은 활성을 지닌다. E.coli ATCC 33456에서 6가 크롬 환원효소를 클로닝하기 위해서 colony hybridization과 southern hybridization을 통하여 2개의 형질 전환 균주를 획득할 수 있었다. 두 균주 모두 E.coli ATCC 33456이 가진 6가 크롬 환원능보다 약 2.5-4배정도 높은 활성을 보였으며, 두 균주의 조효소액을 가지고 immuno-blotting을 실시한 결과, E.coli ATCC 33456에서 분리 정제된 6가 크롬 환원효소의 항체가 약 42Kda에서 반응하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이 결과는 분리 정제된 6가 크롬 환원효소와 매우 유사한 유전자 산물이 두 균주에서 나온다는 것을 보여주었다.

The extracts from 40 different traditional medicinal herbs were used to investigate the antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli. Among them, the extracts from Paeonia suffruticosa (PS), Siegesbeckia orientalis (SO), Schizandra chinensis (SC), Caesalpinia sappan (CS) and Rhus javanica (RJ) exhibited high antimicrobial activities against E. coli, Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the RJ extract against E. coli were 0.8 mg/ml. After heating treatment of these extracts, the antimicrobial activities against E. coli were significantly reduced in case of the CS extract. After alkaline or acid treatment of these extracts, the antimicrobial activities against E. coli were significantly increased in the PS extract but reduced in both SO and RJ extract. Since extracts from RJ and CS exhibited the highest antimicrobial activities, bacterial growth-inhibiting activities against E. coli by these two extracts were further examined. Optical density at 620 nm after 24 hours incubation of E. coli in the presence of 100, 300 or 500 ppm of RJ extract ranged from 0.1 to 0.2 compared to 0.35~0.65 in the absence of RJ extract, indicating that growth of E. coli was significantly inhibited within 24 hours by the addition of at least 100 ppm of RJ extract. Optical density at 620 nm after 24 hours incubation of E. coli in the presence of 300 or 500 ppm of CS extract ranged from 0.01 to 0.25 compared to 0.5~0.55 in the absence of CS extract, indicating that growth of E. coli was also significantly inhibited within 24 hours by the addition of at least 300 ppm of CS extract. In conclusion, these findings suggest that extracts from RJ and CS may play important roles for antimicrobial activities against E. coli causing various animal diseases.

본 연구에서는 훈제오리 슬라이스에서 Escherichia coli 유통 중 생장 예측을 위한 dynamic model을 개발하였다. E. coli는 2개의 훈제 오리 시료(16.7%) 에서 1.23 log CFU/g검출되었다. 10-30℃ 보관에 따라 E. coli의 𝜇_max는 0.05-0.36 log CFU/g/h, LPD는 4.39-1.07h, h₀ 값은 0.24-0.51을 나타내었다. 개발된 모델의 검증은 15℃, 23℃에서 수행하였다. 모델 검증 결과 RMSE값이 0.130으로 개발된 모델이 다른 온도에 적용하기에 적합하다고 판단하였다. 이러한 결과는 E. coli로 개발된 모델은 훈제오리 슬라이스에서 E. coli의 변화하는 온도에 따른 생장을 예측하는 데 유용하다.
