  • 자연 발효과정중에 GRam 향성 및 음성세균의 수를 신속하고동시에 측정할 t ndlT는 방법을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 Gram 염색법을 응용하였다. 그 결과로써 Gram 염색법에의 세균수는 분광광도계에 의한 혼탁도와 A610=0.7의 범위내에서 비례관계가 성립하였다. 염색조작중 세척에 의한 균의 제거는 약 8%를 초과하지 않았다. 그리고 Escherichia coli와 Micrococcus luteus의 혼합액에서 이들의 분리 측정에 대한 표준오차는 $5.1\pm2.3$%이었다. 계수가능범위는 $5.5\times 10^{7}-1.0\times 10^{9}$세포 / ml 이었다. 그러므로 일반적인 Gram 염색법은 Gram 양성 및 음성 개체군이 혼합된 배양약에서 이들을 분별 측정하는데도 적용될 수 있다고 본다. 실제적으로, 대마침지와 김치 발효과정에서 균 생장의 동역학적 관계를 검토하였다.

  • Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common domiciliary and nosocomial bacterial infections prevalent in both males and females. UTI is diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms, microscopy and culture of urine. In order to evaluate the efficacy of microscopic detection for presumptive diagnosis of UTI we analyzed urine samples of Nepalese patients. We have conducted Gram staining and counting of pus cells, red blood cells (RBC) and epithelial cells. We observed that RBC and epithelial cell counts were not sensitive enough to be used for presumptive diagnosis of UTI. However, pus cell counts as well as Gram stain are sensitive and significant enough to presume UTI. When the Gram stain result was compared with the culture result, it was statistically significant. From this, we suggest that Gram stain of centrifuged urine is a very sensitive screening method to detect bacteriuria. In addition, we found that E. coli was the most predominant microorganism causing UTI and nitrofurantoin was the most effective antibiotic against the isolated urinary pathogens.

  • Because the education system that based on objective data is needed for the beginning technologists in the department of medicine laboratory, development of the CAI system based on Gram-Stain images is needed in clinical microbiology field. So, in this study, we implemented CAI system based on Gram-Stain images for medical technologists under Web using multimedia toolbook. Because this system is implemented under Web, more and more beginning technologists can have a remote-education beyond time and space, can save human power and time that needed due to hold in common of educational information, and cannot learn mistaken microbiology images because of learning execution based on objective data. Also, implemented system brings a higher interest and a learning effect to medical technologies because of hyper-media method that offered from toolbook. In the future, it will be needed a continuous acceptance of changing knowledge and it will be useful system for technologist in case of applying various examinations based Gram-Stain method of this study.

  • Six bacterial strains 18JY42-3, 18SH, 18JY76-11, 17J11-11, 18JY14-14, and 18JY15-11 assigned to the phylum Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria were isolated from soil samples in Korea. The Cohnella species, strain 18JY42-3 was Gram-stain-positive, short rod-shaped and beige-colored. The Methylobacterium species, strains 18SH and 18JY76-11 were Gram-stain-negative, short rod-shaped and pink-colored. The Microterricola species, strain 17J11-11 was Gram-stain-positive, short rod-shaped and yellow-colored. The Paenarthrobacter species, strains 18JY14-14 and 18JY15-11 were Gram-stain-positive, short rod-shaped and white-colored. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strains 18JY42-3, 18SH, 18JY76-11, 17J11-11, 18JY14-14, and 18JY15-11 were most closely related Cohnella rhizosphaerae (MH497628; 98.8%), Methylobacterium goesingense (MH497632; 99.1%), Methylobacterium populi (MH497635; 99.9%), Microterricolagilva (MH504108; 98.4%), Paenarthrobacter nicotinovorans (MH497641; 100%), and Paenarthrobacter nitroguajacolicus (MH497646; 99.2%), respectively. All the six unrecorded strains showed resistance to UV radiation. This is the first report of these six species in Korea.

  • To test flavonoids for antibacterial activity against oral micraorganisms, flavonoids, quercetrin and naringenin, were incorporated into two pharmaceutical preparations in the form of tooth paste. Samplees of dental plaque, the msot accused dental deposit which initiates the gingival and periodental diseases, were collected from the teeth surface of ten dental students at one week interval before and after using placebo, followed by two formulae of tooth paste containing 0.1% of quercetrin and naringenin (formulas I and II, respectively). The amount of dental plaque was assessed by the quigley and Hens index. Then plaque samples were subjected to bacteriological examination of Gram stain and plate counts of microorganisms. The amount of dental plaque was assessed by the Quigley and Hens index. Then plaque samples were subjected to bacteriological examination of Gram stain and plate counts of microorganisms. The results revealed that most of Gram negative cocci and bacilli were highly affected by the two formulae : the number of actinomycetes were decreased after using formula I and disappeared completely by the sue of formula II, while the number of Gram positive streptococci was highly decreased after the treatment with the two formulae. These results indicate a possible use of flavonoids to inhibit dental plaque formation.

  • A total of 38 bacterial strains within the classes Bacilli and Deinococci were isolated from various sources in Korea. Samples were collected from animal intestine, urine, soil, tidal flat mud, and kimchi. In the sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequences, the 38 isolates were assigned to the classes Bacilli and Deinococci with sequence similarities more than 98.7%. Twenty-four strains and 13 strains were classified the order Bacillales and Lactobacillales in the class Bacilli, respectively. In the order Bacillales, there were nine species in the genus Bacillus, seven species in the genus Paenibacillus, and the remaining eight species in the genera Domibacillus, Halobacillus, Virgibacillus, Lysinibacillus, Paenisporosarcina, Planococcus, Savagea, and Staphylococcus. In the order Lactobacillales, there were four species in the genus Lactobacillus, three species in the genus Leuconostoc, three species in the genus Lactococcus, and the remaining three species in the genera Aerococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus. One species was related to the genus Deinococcus of the order Deinococcales. Most of the isolated strains were Gram-stain-positive, but some were Gram-stain-variable or Gram-stain-negative. Cells were rod or cocci-shaped. Based on the results of 16S rRNA analysis, we report 38 strains as previously unrecorded species to Korea, and the basic characteristics of strains are described herein.

  • 현재의 교육 소프트웨어가 기존의 전통적인 하이퍼미디어 기법이나 계층적 기법에 의존하고 있기 때문에, 컴퓨터 기술의 발전에도 불구하고 교육 소프트웨어 개발 수는 점점 감소하고 있다. 따라서, 기존 방식들의 장점을 살리면서 그 한계를 극복하기 위해서는 기존 방식들의 하이브리드형인 구조화된 하이퍼미디어 링크기법이 최근 문헌들에서 제안되고 있다. 이 기법은 기존 기법들과 비교하여 학습자의 성취도와 학습 능력에 따른 다양한 수준의 개별화 학습이 가능하기 때문에 교육적 효과가 높은 것으로 나타나고 있다. 임상미생물 검사실에서 수행하는 그람 염색(Gram-stain) 검사와 같은 세균 성상에 관한 교육은 체계적인 방법에 의존하는 것이 아니라 기존의 병리사가 업무수행 과정 중 간헐적으로 신규 병리사에게 자신이 교육에 적당하다고 판단되는 현미경시야를 보여주는 방식으로 행해져 왔으며 이 때문에 신규 병리사의 교육에 상당한 기간이 필요했다. 본 연구에서는 학습 화면간의 의미론적 연관성에 따라 링크의 존재여부가 결정되는 논리적으로 구조화된 기법을 사용하여 임상미생물 검사실에서 보다 객관적이고 체계적인 데이터를 기반으로 많은 병리사들이 그람 염색검사에 관해 학습하고 신규 병리사들을 교육할 수 있도록 Web환경에서 멀티미디어 저작도구를 사용한 임상미생물 화상CAI 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 CAI 프로그램은 그람 염색 검사를 기반으로 하여 다른 여러 검사 방법에도 적용함으로써 임상 병리사들에게 유용한 프로그램으로 자리잡게 될 것이다.

  • This study was investigated to isolate identify the total bacteria and fungi from the indoor air of work-place of the shoes, paint, stainless steel, and plastic industries. The number of bacterial colonies on the nutrient agar plates were calculated by the open petridish method for 30 minutes in indoor air of work-places at the autumn and winter. The isolated bacteria were identified by Gram stain and biochemical test using API Staph and API 20E kits. The isolated fungal colonies were identified by gross appearance of the giant colonies and microscopic examination of their spore and hyphal characteristics on the slide culture method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of several antibiotics against isolated bacteria was determined by the microdilution method with Mueller-Hinton broth. The 70-400 colonies in autumn and 54-236 colonies in winter were isolated from the indoor air of work-places of several industry. The isolation rates of Gram positive cocci, Gram positive bacilli, Gram negative bacilli, and Gram negative cocci were 46.3%, 19.8%, 17.3%, and 16.1%, respectively. In Gram positive cocci, the most strains were identified as Aerococcus spp, Micrococcus spp, and Staphylococcus spp. In Gram positive and negative bacilli, and Gram negative cocci were identified as Bacillus spp, Pseudomonas spp, and Neisseria spp, respectively. The frequently isolated fungi were Aspergillus spp, Penicillium spp and Rhizopus spp, respectively. The frequently isolated Aerococcus spp, Micrococcus spp, and Staphylococus spp were highly resistance against ampicillin, erythromycin, methicillin, and tetracycline. These results arouse our attention to microbiologic pollution in the indoor air of work-places of industries.
