The antibacterial activity of novel ${\beta}$-lactamase inhibitors, 6-exomethylene penamsulfones (CH1240, CH2140), has been compared in vivo with that of sulbactam and clavulanic acid against b-lactamase producing strains. In vivo microbiological assessment was used as experimental mouse infection model by gram negative strains. Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa F0013, cefoperazone/CH 1240 was slightly less active than sulbactam. ampicillin/CH 2140 was less effective than sulbactam against escheriachia coli 3457. Especially against Citrobacter diversus 2046E, amoxicillin/CH 2140 was the most potent and amoxicillin/CH 1240 was slightly more active than clavulanic acid. consequently the difference in efficacy between the drug combinations appers to be related to the degree of protection afforded the animals by the b-lactamasse inhibitors. CH1240 and CH2140 are promising new agents and should undergo further investigations.

During May to July 2004, three strains of Providencia spp. with multidrug-resistance (MDR) were isolated from urinary specimen of three patients hospitalized with a same hospital room. By PCR analysis, all three strains have been found to carry both VIM-2 type $metallo-{\beta}-lactamase$ gene and PER-1 type extended spectrum ${\beta}-lactamase$ gene. One out of three strains carried additional resistance gene, armA, 16S rRNA methylase gene responsible for high level resistance to aminoglycosides. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the identification of Providencia spp. simultaneously carrying $bla_{VIM-2},\;bla_{PER-1}$, and armA genes.

분자진화방법을 이용하여 불용성 단백질을 가용성 단백질로 개량하고자 할 때 가장 중요한 과정은 발현 단백질의 세포 내 폴딩 및 용해도를 어떻게 측정하고 선별할 수 있는가에 있다. 본 연구에서는 ampicillin에 저항성을 가지는 beta-lactamase를 목적 단백질과 접합 형태로 발현하여 목적 단백질의 용해도를 측정 및 선별할 수 있는 방법을 구축하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 beta-lactamase C-말단에 목적 단백질을 링커를 이용하여 접합단백질 형태로 발현시킬 수 있는 발현 시스템을 구축하였고, 구축된 발현시스템이 대장균의 ampicillin의 저항성을 향상시킴을 확인하였다. 구축된 발현시스템에 용해도가 비교적 높은 adenine deaminase와 aspartate aminotranseferase, 용해도가 매우 낮은 GlcNAc-2-epimerase 세가지 단백질의 유전자를 클로닝하여 Ampicillin 농도에 따라 목적 단백질의 용해도가 세포 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Ampicillin 농도 $200{\mu}g/mL$에서 가용성 단백질인 adenine deaminase와 aspartate aminotranseferase의 접합 단백질 발현은 세포 성장을 보이는 반면, 불용성 단백질인 GlcNAc-2-epimerase 접합 단백질 발현은 세포 성장을 저해함을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 등전점과 PCR 생성물을 통하여 광범위 $\beta$-Lactamase(ESBL) 를 생성하는 Klebsiella pneumoniae의 ESBL 유형을 결정하였다. 부산시내 소재 3개 종합병원의 임상검체로부터 20균주의 ESBL 을생성하는 Klebsiella pneumoniae를 분리하였다. 제 3세대 cephalosporin인 cefotaime, cef-tazidime, ceftriaxone으로 double disk synergy test를 시행하여 ESBL 생성균주를 확인하였다. 등전점 및 PCR결과 TEM 형 (pI 5.2~6.0, 1080 bp), TEM+SHV 혼합형(pI 5.2~6.0 및 pI 7.0~7.4 로 1080 bp, 599bp), SHV형 (pI 7.0~ 7.4, 599 bp) , 그리고 PCR결과는 SHV형으로 나타났으나 등전점을 나타내지 않는 것과 등전점 및 PCR 결과 어느 쪽에도 속하지 않는 non TEM non SHV 형 등 5개군으로 나뉘어 졌다.

Thirty-eight Vibrio spp. were isolated from the sea waters harvested from the 22 stations located on the west coast of the Korean peninsula in September 2006. The isolates consisted of V. parahaemolyticus (n=21), V. alginolyticus (n= 16) and V. cholerae non-01 (n=1), among which 35 isolates displayed resistance against two of the tested antibiotics. Among the 38 isolates, 18 isolates exhibited multi-drug resistance against more than four 4 antibiotics. In particular, minimum inhibitory concentration $(MIC)_{50}$ and $MIC_{90}$ of ampicillin-resistant isolates were as high as $2,048{\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ and $4,096{\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ respectively. $\beta$-lactamase production was examined to analyze the ampicillin-resistance. Some Vibrio spp. isolates produced $\beta$-lactamase, however antibiotics resistance pattern and $\beta$-lactamase production were not clearly related to each other. A genetic relationship between resistance and gene expression was confirmed in the ampicillin-resistant isolates.

Eight strains of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella typhi were isolated from Kyonggi area during January-February, 1997. They were resistant to ampicillin, amoxicillin, carbenicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim. Eight strains had one plasmid respectively which size was approximately M.W 220 kb and showed same restriction pattern by endonuclease HindIII. The plasmid was similar to the plasmid in size that was related to multidrug resistant S. typhi isolated from southeast Asia. It were transferred by conjugation to recipient E. coli K-12 in frequency of $2.43{\times}10^4-1.73{\times}10^{-2}$ and transconjugant showed same drug-resistant pattern with donor cells. All of 8 strains produced ${\beta}$-lactamase that was assummed to TEM-l type by isoelectric focusing and PCR.

Small phytochemicals have been successfully adopted as antibacterial chemotherapies and are being increasingly viewed as potential antibiofilm agents. Some of these molecules are known to repress biofilm and toxin production by certain bacterial and yeast pathogens, but information is lacking with regard to the genes allied with biofilm formation. The present study was performed to investigate the inhibitory effect of burdock root extract (BRE) and of chlorogenic acid (CGA; a component of BRE) on clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. BRE and CGA exhibited significant antibiofilm activity against K. pneumoniae without inflicting any harm to its planktonic counterparts. In vitro assays supported the ${\beta}$-lactamase inhibitory effect of CGA and BRE while in silico docking showed that CGA bound strongly with the active sites of sulfhydryl-variable-1 ${\beta}$-lactamase. Furthermore, the mRNA transcript levels of two biofilm-associated genes (type 3 fimbriae mrkD and trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase treC) were significantly downregulated in CGA- and BRE-treated samples. In addition, CGA inhibited biofilm formation by Escherichia coli and Candida albicans without affecting their planktonic cell growth. These findings show that BRE and its component CGA have potential use in antibiofilm strategies against persistent K. pneumoniae infections.

Of 143 clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae collected from Korean non-tertiary hospitals, 24 (16.8%) showed an extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase-positive phenotype. PCR and sequence analysis revealed the presence of TEM-116 (n=13), CTX-M-3 (n=5), CTX-M-14 (n=2), CTX-M-15 (n=3), and SHV-12 (n=16). Each of the 24 isolates encoded more than one ${\beta}$-lactamase, and seven isolates (29%) harbored two different SHV-type ${\beta}$-lactamase genes ($bla_{SHV-11}$ and $bla_{SHV-12}$) bounded by insertion sequence IS26 in a single transferable plasmid.

대학병원의 임상검체에서 extended-spectrum-${\beta}$-lactamase (ESBL)생성 Klebsiella pneumoniae 51균주를 분리하였다. ESBL생성 K. pneumoniae 51균주는 광범위한 항생제에 내성을 보였고 대부분의 균주는 amikacin, gentamycin과 ciprofloxacin항생제에 내성을 나타내었다. 대학병원에서 분리한 51균주를 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)로 분석한 결과 충남대학병원 21균주와 충북대학병원에서 분리한 10균주는 Ia 와 Ib에 속하였고 경상대학 병원에서 분리한 20균주는 IIa, IIb에 속하였다. ESBL 생성 K. pneumoniae 51균주는 RAPD 분석으로 4가지의 유전형으로 구분 할 수 있었고 유전적으로 다양하였다. 이상의 결과로 RAPD 분석은 유전형분석에 빠르고 단순하고 경제적인 방법임을 알 수 있었다.
