Phytophthora sp.의 균사성장을 특이적으로 저해하는 토양 미생물인 YNB54 균주의 정확한 분류적 위치를 밝히기 위해 Biolog GN2, API 20E와 같은 상업적 생화학 kit, 16S rDNA, DAN-DNA hybridization, GC함량, MIDI 등의 분석을 수행하였다. 다양한 생화학적 kit를 사용한 동정 결과는 이 균주가 다른 어떤 종보다 Enterobacter cloacae와 E. cancerogenus에 보다 더 가까움을 보여주었다. 또한 DAN-DNA hybridization, GC함량, MIDI 분석의 결과들 역시 다른 속 (Citerobacter, Klebsiella, Leclercia)보다 Enterobacter 속에 더 유사함을 암시해 주었다. 그러나 16S rDNA분석에서 이 균주는 Citrobacter freundii(99.4%)와 동일 그룹으로 구분되었지만 Enterobacter, Leclecia, Klebsiella 속 등과도 98%이상의 상동성을 보여주는 polyphyletic 특성을 보였다. 결론적으로 YNB54의 분류 동정을 위한 우리의 조사들은 이 균주가 유전적으로 다양하고 지금까지 아는 것보다 분류학적으로 더 복잡함을 암시해줌에도 불구하고 Enterobacter속임이 가장 유력하다는 것을 보여 주었다.

A previously unreported bacterial disease on chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seedlings affecting as many as 4% of seedlings was observed in greenhouses in Chihuahua, Mexico (Delicias and Meoqui counties). Initial lesions appeared as irregular small spots on leaves and brown necrosis at margins tips were observed. Later, the spots became necrotic with a chlorotic halo. Advanced disease was associated with defoliation. A Gram negative, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from diseased chili pepper seedlings. Three inoculation methods revealed that isolated strains produce foliage symptoms, similar to those observed in naturally infected seedlings. Pathogenic strains that caused symptoms in inoculated seedlings were re-isolated and identified to fulfill koch's postulate. Polyphasic approaches for identification including biochemical assays (API 20E and 50CH), carbon source utilization profiling (Biolog) and 16S rDNA, hsp60 and rpoB sequence analysis were done. Enterobacter cloacae was identified as the causal agent of this outbreak on chili pepper seedlings.

Purpose: To identify the frequency of bacterial isolates in early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) and their antimicrobial resistance pattern. Methods: A retrospective study of EONS was conducted at the Beni Suef University Hospital from September 2008 to September 2012. A case of EONS was defined as an infant who had clinical signs of infection or who was born to a mother with risk factors for infection, and in whom blood culture obtained within 72 hours of life grew a bacterial pathogen. Results: Of 673 neonates screened, there were 138 positive blood cultures (20.5%) (confirmed EONS). Of the recovered isolates, 86.2% were gram-negative pathogens. Klebsiella pneumoniae (42.8%), Enterobacter cloacae (22.5%), and Escherichia coli (13.8%) were the commonest isolated organisms. The most common gram-positive microorganism was Staphylococcus aureus accounting for only 12 isolates (8.7%). All Klebsiella isolates and 93% of Enterobacter isolates were resistant to ampicillin. Gram-negative pathogens had the maximum overall sensitivity to imipenem, cefepime, and ciprofloxacin; whereas, gram-positive isolates were most susceptible to vancomycin, imipenem, and piperacillin. Conclusion: K. pneumoniae was the predominant causative bacteria of EONS followed by E. cloacae and E. coli. There was a high resistance to ampicillin. Imipenem had the maximum overall activity against the causative bacteria. Continuous surveillance is needed to monitor the changing epidemiology of pathogens and antibiotic sensitivity.

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons is found to be an attractive process for remediation of contaminated habitats. However the poor bioavailability of hydrocarbons results in low biodegradation rates. Cyclodextrins are known to increase the bioavailability of variety of hydrophobic compounds. In the present work we purified the Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase (CGTase) enzyme which is responsible for converting starch into cyclodextrins and studied its role on biodegradation of diesel oil contaminated soil. Purification of CGTase from Enterobacter cloacae was done which resulted in 6 fold increase in enzyme activity. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 7, temperature $60^{\circ}C$ with a molecular weight of 66 kDa. Addition of purified CGTase to the treatment setup with Pseudomonas mendocina showed enhanced biodegradation of diesel oil ($57{\pm}1.37%$) which was similar to the treatment setup when added with Pseudomonas mendocina and Enterobacter cloacae ($52.7{\pm}6.51%$). The residual diesel oil found in treatment setup added with Pseudomonas mendocina at end of the study was found to be $73{\pm}0.21%$. Immobilization of Pseudomonas mendocina on alginate containing starch also led to enhanced biodegradation of hydrocarbons in diesel oil at 336 hours.

Enterobacter sp. producing -$\beta$-galactosidase with high transgalactosylation activity was isolated from dairy wastewater. The isolate had common biochemical features to E. aerogenes and E. cloacae. Enzyme production increased as the cell mass increased with optimum enzyme activity of 0.21 Unit/mg-protein (o-nitro-phenyl-$\beta$ -D-galactoside (ONPG) as substrate) until 8 hr of culture. Whole cells permeabilized by toluene were used to produce galacto-oligosaccharide. Optimum toluene concentration, temperature and pH for -$\beta$-galactosidase activity of permeabilized whole cells were 10% (v/v), $50^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. A maximum of 38% (w/w) of galacto-oligosaccharide was obtained with lactose concentration of 20% (w/w) at $40^\{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0.

Triphenylmethane was decolorized rapidly by enterbacter cloacae MG 82 at initial reaction time. The spheroplast showed higher activity of triphenylmentane decolorization than that of intact cell suspension. The outer part of the bacterial cell envelope and the peptidoglycan are important for the function of transport barrier of triphenylmethane. In intact cell, decolorization activity was higher at 37$\circ $C than at $\circ $C, indicating that triphenylmethane decolorization is due to the enzyme reaction. Culture filtrate showed no decolorization activity, while cell-free extract appeared high activity of 1.45 units, clearly showing that decolorization activity was due to the cell-free extract. Comparing decolorization activities of cell fractions, it was found that decolorization activity was located at the compartment of cytoplasmic membrane. The enzyme activity was also shown to be Mg$^{++}$-dependent. The optimum pH and temperature of enzyme activity were 7.0 and 50$\circ $C, respectively. The thermostability of this enzyme at 35$\circ $C was kept to 58% for 3 hours.

자연계에서 카드뮴 내성균을 142주 분리하여 그 중 1,500 ppm의 카드뮴 함유배지에서 가장 잘 증식하는 1주를 선발하여 Enterobater cloacae로 동정하였다. 본균은 배지중 카드뮴의 농도가 높아질수록 생장이 억제되었으며 0.5ppm의 카드뮴 함유 배지에서 최고 59%의 카드뮴을 균체내에 축적하였다. 카드뮴의 축적량은 균체의 건물양에 비례하여 균체 건물 1g당 7.8 mg이었으며 균체내 축적된 카드뮴은 60-70%가 세포벽획분에 존재하였다.

임상균주인 Enterobacter spp.가 생성하는 신규 chromosomal AmpC $\beta$-lactamases의 유전자형 및 진화적 측면을 고찰하기 위해서 항생제 감수성 시험, pI값 측정, DNA 염기서열 분석, 진화적 유연관계를 새로운 발현$.$분비 벡터를 이용하여 수행하였다. 6개 임상균주에서 cephamycins (cefoxitin and cefotetan), amoxicillin, cephalothin 및 amoxicillin-clavulanic acid에 내성 요인인 AmpC $\beta$-lactamase 유전자를 pMSG1219에 cloning하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 381-amino-acid $\beta$-lactamase를 암호화 하는 4개의 ampC 유전자($bla_EcloK992004.1$, $bla_EcloK995120.1$, $bla_EcloK99230$ 및 $bla_EareK9911729$)는 E. cloacae MHN1의 chromosomal ampC 유전자($bla_EcloMHN1$)와 99.6% 이상의 상동성을 나타냈으며 두 ampC 유전자($bla_Eclok9973$ and $bla_EcloK9914325$)는 E. cloacae 908R의 chromosomal ampC 유전자($bla_EcloQ9908R$)와 99.7% 상동성을 나타냈다. 이런 결과는 6개 ampC 유전자가 $bla_EcloMHN1$ or $bla_EcloQ9908R$로부터 유래되었음을 시산한다. 발현ㆍ분비 벡터를 이용하여 제조한 6개 transformant의 MIC값 양상 및 정확한 pI값은 E. coli 균주에 외부 유전자의 특성을 고찰하는 목적에 개발된 발현$.$분비 백터(pMSG1219)가 유용함을 의미한다.
