Photometric Winkler titration provides high precision enough to use the oxygen method in moderately productive waters In short incubation (2-4hr), about $2{\mu\textrm{g}}C/\ell/h$ can be differentiated by the photometric titration. The oxygen and $^{14}C$ methods resulted in good agreement with each other in the diurnal primary production measurements. Despite small descrepancies the severe underestimation of $^{14}C-technique$ was not observed in short-term incubation. Size-fractionated production studies indicated the importance of nanoplanktonic production in the coastal water (62-88%). Bacterial respiration may lead to significant underestimation in estimating net photosynthesis in the oxygen method. In spite of some problems associated with the ecological application of antibiotics, it seems feasible to use Gentamycin in separating planktonic respiration from that of total community.

Recently the efficacy of all ear drops in perforated tympanic membranes has been questioned and the safety of using the drugs intratympanically has been challanged. Many drugs not normally ototoxic when given systemically become ototoxic when administered via the middle ear. According to Stupp and others (1973) among neomycin, polymyxin-G, gentamycin, erythr omycin, tetracycline and penicillin, only penicillin was found to be free of toxic effects. The ototoxic antibiotics probably reach the inner ear by permeating the round window membrane, into the perilymph and then through Reissner's membrane to the endolymph. The main pathological changes are degeneration of stria vascularis, degeneration of sensory epithelia and degeneration of ganglion cells. We report with reference, a case of profound sensorineural deafness following the application of Terramycin powder intratympanically, in a 63 year old woman.

Brucellosis, a zoonosis with worldwide distribution, is a systemic infection caused by facultative intracellular bacteria of the genus Brucella, which can involve multiple organs and tissues. We report an uncommon case of spondylodiscitis with epidural abscess due to Brucella in a male stockbreeder. Diagnosis was based on clinical history, and supported by Brucella serology and magnetic resonance imaging. Clinical and radiological improvement were observed with a combined antimicrobial therapy of doxycycline, rifampicin, and gentamycin.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of enterococci in cheese samples and to characterize their antimicrobial resistance profiles as well as the associated resistance genes. A total of 139 enterococci were isolated from 99 cheese samples, the isolates were identified as E. faecalis (61.2%), E. faecium (15.1%), E. gallinarum (12.9%), E. durans (5.0%), E. casseliflavis (2.9%) and E. avium (2.9%). The most frequent antimicrobial resistance observed in enterococci isolates was to lincomycin (88.5%), followed by kanamycin (84.2%), gentamycin (low level, 51.1%), rifampin (46.8%) and tetracycline (33.8%). Among the isolates, the frequencies of high level gentamycin and streptomycin resistant enterococci strains were 2.2% and 5.8%, respectively. Apart from the mentioned antibiotics, low levels of resistance to ciprofloxacin, erythromycin and chloramphenicol were found. Moreover no resistance was observed against penicillin and ampicillin. The antimicrobial resistance genes including tetM, tetL, ermB, cat, aph(3’)-IIIa, ant(6)-Ia and aac(6’)-Ieaph(2”)-Ia were found in enterococci from Turkish cheese samples. In the current study, we provided data for antibiotic resistance and the occurrence of resistance genes among enterococci. Regulatory and quality control programs for milk and other dairy products from farms to retail outlets has to be established and strengthened to monitor trends in antimicrobial resistance among emerging food borne pathogens in Turkey.

Starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus (body length $4.4{\pm}0.51cm$) that became sick during an outbreak of disease at mariculture facilities at Ulsan, Korea in August of 2012, were examined to identify the cause of the disease. Diseased fish didn't show a unique sign, but the oxidase-positive and gram negative rod was isolated from moribund fish. The bacterium was revealed as Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida by biochemical analysis and sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA and capsular polysaccharide (CPS) genes. The isolates (AD5) was carrying susceptible to ofloxacin and gentamycin and showed high growth value at $18^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ compared to four other P. damsela strains.

항생제는 일반적으로 포유동물 난자의 체외 성숙배지나 배양배지에 첨가된다. 그러나 이들 항생제들이 포유동물의 체외 난자성숙에 미치는 영향들은 아직 완전히 검토되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 염소 난포란에서 체외성숙 능력과 그 후의 단위생식 활성화에 penicillin, streptomycin 또는 gentamycin이 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 도축장으로부터 수집된 난소로부터 난자-난구세포 복합체들을 회수하여 5개의 처리구 [1) Control: TCM-199 medium with no antibiotics, 2) TCM-199 with 100 IU/ml penicillin, 3) TCM-199 with 50 ug/ml streptomycin, 4) TCM-199 with 50 ug/ml gentamycin, 5) TCM-199 with both 100 IU/ml penicillin and 50 ug/ml streptomycin]에서 24시간 동안 성숙시켰다. 그리고 성숙된 난자들은 ionomycin 처리에 의한 단위생식 활성화를 시킨 후 6-diethlaminopurine(6-DMAP)에서 노출시킨 다음 5개의 항생제 처리구에서 48시간 동안 배양하였다. 24시간 동안 체외성숙이 유기된 난자에서 제 1 극체가 뚜렷이 방출된 것을 관찰하여 성숙율은 얻었고, 단위생식 활성화는 48시간 후 4-cell 단계의 난분할 관찰에 의해 평가하였다. 24시간 동안 체외성숙이 유기된 미성숙 염소 난자의 성숙비율은 69.1~73.8%로 나타났으나 Streptomycin 처리구에서는 42.5~45.7%로 나타나 유의적인 차이가 인정되었다. (p<0.01) 그러나 48시간 후의 성숙난자의 난할비율에서 5개의 처리구들 사이에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. penicillin과 gentamicin 처리 집단들은 성숙비율과 48 시간 후 4-cell 단계로의 난분할 비율에 크게 영향을 미치지는 않았다. 그러므로 streptomycin은 미성숙 염소 난자의 체외성숙을 억제하지만 성숙된 난자에서 다음 단계로의 배발달에는 영향을 주지 않는 것이 나타났다.

Vibriosis has caused severe losses among cultured yellowtail (Seriola quinquerediata) at some cage farms in Korea in recent years. Major object of this study was to investigate the causative organism of the diseased cultured yellowtail. The samples were collected from the aquarium of Fisheries Research & Development Agency during the period from November 1984 to January 1985. The experimental results are summarized as follows ; Among the isolated bacteria from the diseased yellowtail, Vibrio sp. isolated from the kidney was considered to he the causative organism. Tetracycline, chloramphenicol and gentamycin were observed as bacteriostatic agents to the pathogenic strain, but sulfisomezole and sulfisoxasole were not. When the isolated strain was injected intramuscularly to yellowtail, rid sea-bream, rock-bream and common carp, it had virulence at $25^{\circ}C$ to all fish examined but to virulence at $15^{\circ}C$ except for yellowtail.
