The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of resistance to macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin and ketolide antibiotics in Korea. The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed to the macrolide erythromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, josamycin, the lincosamide clindamycin, the streptogramin synercid and the ketolide ABT -773 against 337 clinical Staphylococcus aureus(SAU). Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS) and Enterococci isolates exhibited an average percentage of 64％, 56％, and 81 ％ of resistance to erythromycin, respectively.

Bioassay-directed fractionation of the lipophilic extract of a marine sponge Sarcotragus sp. led to the isolation of a known trisoxazole containing macrolide, mycalolide B (1). Its structure was identified by NMR and MS analyses. This is the first report on the isolation of macrolide from a sponge of the genus Sarcotragus (Order: Dictyoceratida).

지속성 및 유발성 발한의 두 macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B 저항성 인자가 한 Staphylococcus aureus DHI 균주의 염색체 DNA 및 plasmid pDE1(7.4kb)로부터 각각 분리되었다. pDE1상의 유발성 Em 저항성 인자의 염기서열은 이미 보고 된 바 있는 pE194상의 ermC와 동일하였으며 지속성 Em 저항성 인자의 경우는 그 제한효소 인식부위의 mapping 결과로 보아 ermCdb전자에서 유발성 기구에 관여하는 leader peptide 부위가 결여된 인자인 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The demand for natural substances with anti-melanogenic activity is increasing due to the recent interest in skin whitening. Intensive investigation on the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. SCO-736, a marine bacterium from the Antarctica coast, has led to the isolation of a new natural product named antaroide (1). The chemical structure was established through the interpretation of MS, UV, and NMR spectroscopic data. Antaroide is a nine-membered macrolide with lactone and lactam moieties. To investigate its applicability in skin whitening cosmetics, its anti-melanogenic activity in B16F10 murine melanoma cells was examined. As a result, antaroide displayed strong inhibitory activities against melanin synthesis and also attenuated the dendrite formation induced by the α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Antaroide suppressed the mRNA expression of the melanogenic enzymes such as tyrosinase, TRP-1 and TRP-2. This suggests that it may serve as a transcriptional regulator of melanogenesis. Collectively, the discovery of this novel natural nine-membered macrolide and its anti-melanogenic activity could give new insights for the development of skin whitening agents.

Three more unusual macrolides in addition to concnamycin B were isolated from the mycelium of Streptomyces sp. strain Bal6. These four compounds showed a potent cytotoxity to hunian cancer cell lines, SNU-1 (stomach cancer cell line), SNU-354 (liver cancer cell line), MCF- 7 (breast cancer cell line) and KB-3-1 (oral epidermoid carcinoma cell line). Interestingly, these compounds confered slight differential cytotoxity on RHEK-1, a human epidermal keratinocyte cell line immotalized by AD12-SV40 hybrid virus and RHEK-1/pSV$_{2}$ ras which was resulted from H-ras transfomation of RHEK-1. These compounds were determined to be concanamycin A, conca- namycin E and 0-methyl concanamycin B by NMR and other spectral analysis.

Three polyene macrolide antibiotics including two new compounds were isolated from the culture mycelia of a Streptomyces species. The structures of these metabollites were determined as elizabethin, a previously reported 28-membered macrolide and two analohs, using combined spectroscopic methods. These compounds exhibited antifungal activity and cytotoxicity against a juman leukemia cell.

The prevalence of resistance to a range of macrolides was determined for clinical isolates of common respiratory pathogens using NCCLS testing methods and interpretative criter ia.71.4% of Streptococcus pneumoniae, 62.3% of Staphylococcus aureus, 50.8% of coagulase-negative staphylococci and 4.4% of Strpetococcus pyogenes were erythromycin resistant. Also, the rates of resistance to other macrolides and clindamycin in these clinical isolates were as high as to eryth -romycin. Almost all of the macrolide-resistant isolates were positive for erm of the methylase gene, or mef of the efflux gene.

To clarify resistance mechanisms of lincosamide antibiotics, it was examined whether lincosamide antibiotics was able to induce high resistance to macrolide and lincosamide antibiotics against EMR-1 strain of Bacillus species. And it was also examined whether the inducible resistance was plasmid-mediated or chromosome-mediated. This strain was identified as Bacillus licheniformis by its morphological and physiological characteristics. The subinhibitory concentrations of lincomycin and clindamycin induced high resistance in the strain to lincosamide antibiotics, but not to macrolide antibiotics. The inducible resistance was not eliminated by treating the strain with ethidium bromide, and plasmid was not identified by the alkaline lysis method of plasmid preparation. These results indicate, therefore, that the inducible resistance to macrolide and lincosamide antibiotics in the strain may be chromosome-mediated, not plasmid-mediated.

A biotransformation approach using microbes as biocatalysts can be an efficient tool for the targeted modification of existing antibiotic chemical scaffolds to create previously uncharacterized therapeutic agents. By employing a recombinant Streptomyces venezuelae strain as a microbial catalyst, a reduced macrolide, 10,11-dihydrorosamicin, was created from rosamicin macrolide. Its chemical structure was spectroscopically elucidated, and the new rosamicin analog showed 2-4-fold higher antibacterial activity against two strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus compared with its parent rosamicin. This kind of biocatalytic approach is able to expand existing antibiotic entities and can also provide more diverse therapeutic resources.

This study was carried out to confirm analytical method of residual macrolides in livestock products by LC/MS. 1. Macrolides were analyzed by LC/MS on XTerra C$\sub$18/ column with 0.1% TFA(trifluoroacetic acid)-methanol in a gradient mode as mobile phase, and that were identified by positive chemical ionization with selective ion monitoring at 50～1000 mass range. 2. Residual macrolides were extracted from tissue with acetonitrile, and the extract is purified with a Sep-pak C$\sub$18/ cartridge, and elute macrolides with 0.1M methanolic ammonium acetate. 3. The procedure confirms the presence of each macrolide at 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg in spiked sample.
