장내 상주균이며 probiotics로 활용되고 있는 Bifidobacterium에 대한 항생제 내성분포를 분석하였다. 분석된 93개의 Bifidobacterium이 chlolurnphenicol, rifampicin, erythromycin에 대해서는 감수성을 갖고 있었고, aminoglycoside계 항생제, nalidixic acid와 vancomycin에 내성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 vancomycin의 MIC가 $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ 이상인 균이 전체 균주 중 34%를 차지했다. Tetracycline, erythromycin, penicillin에 대한 내성은 매우 다양하게 나타났다. ${\beta}-lactam$계 항생제인 penicillin G와 cephalothin은 10년보다 더 내성이 높아졌음을 알 수 있었고, ampicillin, amoxicillin, tetracycline은 항생제 농도가 점차 증가하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 인체유래 분리균과 유산균식품 분리균의 항생제 내성은 대부분 비슷한 특성을 보였으나 유산균식품 분리 균주중 vancomycin의 MIC가 $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ 이상인 균주가 약 20%가 되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 새로운 probiotics를 개발하기 위해서는 이러한 항생제 내성 특성을 분석하고 항생제 내성 위해성에 대한 검증이 필요한 것으로 보인다.

Aeromonas spp. and Pseudomonas spp. are opportunistic pathogens widely distributed in the aquatic environment. To test the antibiotic susceptibility, the MIC of the 18 antibiotics mainly used in aquaculture were measured. Aeromonas spp. and Pseudomonas spp. straoms had different resistance patterns against most antibiotics. The MIC of tetracycline for four Aeromonas spp. strains (10.5%) was < 0.25 ㎍/mL. However, 0.5-4 ㎍/mL tetracycline inhibited most Pseudomonas spp. strains. The tet resistance performance of 14 genes including tet(B), tet(E), and tet(M) were investigated. Investigating, the tetracycline resistance gene of 38 Aeromonas spp. strains detected tet(A) in 21 strains (55.3%). Two Pseudomonas spp. strains showed high MIC values and no inhibition zone. tet gene analysis detected tet(D) in only one strain (5%).

변형강도($S_D$)는 고온에서 아스팔트 혼합물의 소성변형특성과 상관관계가 높은 특성이며, APA 시험기는 아스팔트 혼합물의 소성변형저항성 평가에 널리 이용된다. 따라서 $S_D$를 이용한 아스팔트 혼합물의 소성변형저항성 추정에 상응하는 값으로 APA 시험 결과가 사용되었으며 $S_D$와 APA의 상관관계를 설정하기 위하여 많은 데이터가 수집되었다. 아스팔트 공시체를 $60^{\circ}C$에 30분간 수침한 후 50mm/min의 하중을 가하여 최대하중 P와 그때의 수직변형 y로 부터 $S_D$를 계산하였다. 같은 혼합물에 대하여 APA 시험도 수행되었다. APA 침하깊이와 $S_D$간의 회귀분석을 수행하여 $R^2=0.76$이 얻어졌다. 이는 변형강도 시험이 아스팔트 혼합물의 고온변형 저항성을 추정 가능한 시험법임을 암시하는 것이다. 또한 회귀분석 모델을 이용하여 특정 등급도로의 표층 및 기층 혼합물 $S_D$의 임계값을 설정할 수 있음을 보였다. 이를 더 정교하게 연구하면 이 임계치는 특정층 포장혼합물의 하한치로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

The ice resistance series charts for icebreaking ships were developed through a series of systematic model tests in the ice tank of the Korean Research Institute of Ship and Ocean Engineering (KRISO). Spencer's (1992) component-based scaling system for ship-ice model tests was applied to extend the model ship correlations. Beam to draft ratio (B/T), length to beam ratio (L/B), block coefficient ($C_B$) and stem angle (${\alpha}$) were selected as geometric parameters for hull form development. The basic hull form (S1) of twin pod type with B/T of 3.0, L/B of 6.0, $C_B$ of 0.75 and stem angle of $25^{\circ}$ was generated with a modern hull design concept. A total of 13 hulls were designed varying the geometric parameters; B/T of 2.5 and 3.5, L/B of 5.0 and 7.0, $C_B$ from 0.65 to 0.85 in intervals of 0.05, and 5 stem angles from $15^{\circ}$ to $35^{\circ}$. Ice resistance tests were first carried out with the basic hull form in level ice with suitable speed. Four more tests for $C_B$ variations from 0.65 to 0.85 were conducted and two more for beam to draft and length to beam ratios were also performed to study the effect of the geometric parameters on ice resistance. Ice resistance tests were summarized using the volumetric coefficient, $C_V$ ($={\nabla}/L^3$), instead of L/B and $C_B$ variations. Additional model tests were also carried out to account for the effect of the stem angle, ice thickness and ice strength on ice resistance. In order to develop the ice resistance series charts with a minimum number of experiments, the trends of the ice resistance obtained from the experiments were assumed to be similar for other model ship with different geometric parameters. A total of 18 sheets composed of combinations of three different beam to draft ratios and six block coefficients were developed as a parameter of $C_V$ in the low speed regions. Three correction charts were also developed for stem angles, ice thickness and ice strength respectively. The charts were applied to estimate ice resistance for existing icebreaking ships including ARAON, and the results were satisfactory with reasonable accuracy.

Pasteurella multocida is an opportunistic organism that plays a significant role in porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC). In the current study, we provide nationwide information of P. multocida isolates from pneumonic lungs of slaughter pigs by determining their prevalence, subspecies, biovars, capsular types, virulence-associated genes, and minimum inhibitory concentrations. P. multocida was the second most frequently confirmed (19.2%) bacterial pathogen and most of the isolates (88.9%) showed simultaneous infection with other respiratory pathogens, especially Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (63.3%, P<0.001) and porcine circovirus type 2 (53.3%, P=0.0205). Of 42 isolates investigated, 41 (97.6%) were identified as P. multocida subspecies multocida, and only one isolate was identified as subspecies septica (biovar 5). All the isolates were capsular type A and the most prevalent biovar was biovar 3 (40.5%), followed by biovar 2 (31.0%). Comparing virulence-associated genes and biovars, all biovar 2 isolates exhibited $hgbB^-pfhA^+$ (P<0.001); all biovar 3 (P=0.0002) and biovar 13 (P=0.0063) isolates presented $hgbB^+pfhA^-$. Additionally, all biovar 2 (P=0.0037) isolates and most of biovar 3 (P=0.0265) isolates harbored tadD. P. multocida showed the highest resistance levels to oxytetracycline (73.8%), followed by florfenicol (11.9%). Continuous monitoring is required for surveillance of the antimicrobial resistance and new emerging strains of P. multocida in slaughter lines.

Objectives: Bacterial resistant infections have become a global health challenge and threaten the society's health. Thus, an urgent need exists to find ways to combat resistant pathogens. One promising approach to overcoming bacterial resistance is the use of herbal products. Green tea catechins, the major green tea polyphenols, show antimicrobial activity against resistant pathogens. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of catechins, green tea extract, and methylxanthines in combination with gentamicin against standard and clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and the standard strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of different agents against bacterial strains were determined. The interactions of green tea extract, epigallate catechin, epigallocatechin gallate, two types of methylxanthine, caffeine, and theophylline with gentamicin were studied in vitro by using a checkerboard method and calculating the fraction inhibitory concentration index (FICI). Results: The MICs of gentamicin against bacterial strains were in the range of $0.312-320{\mu}g/mL$. The MIC values of both types of catechins were $62.5-250{\mu}g/mL$. Green tea extract showed insufficient antibacterial activity when used alone. Methylxanthines had no intrinsic inhibitory activity against any of the bacterial strains tested. When green tea extract and catechins were combined with gentamicin, the MIC values of gentamicin against the standard strains and a clinical isolate were reduced, and synergistic activities were observed (FICI < 1). A combination of caffeine with gentamicin did not alter the MIC values of gentamicin. Conclusion: The results of the present study revealed that green tea extract and catechins potentiated the antimicrobial action of gentamicin against some clinical isolates of S. aureus and standard P. aeruginosa strains. Therefore, combinations of gentamicin with these natural compounds might be a promising approach to combat microbial resistance.

In the present study, a lipopeptide (named AXLP14) antagonistic to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) was obtained from the culture supernatant of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B014. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that AXLP14 consisted of surfactin homologs. The minimum inhibition concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of AXLP14 against Xoo were determined to be 1.25 and 2.50 mg/ml, respectively. At a concentration of 0.613 mg/ml, AXLP14 strongly inhibited the formation of Xoo biofilm. AXLP14 also inhibited the motility of Xoo in a concentration-dependent manner. Applying AXLP14 to rice seedlings significantly reduced the incidence and severity of disease caused by Xoo. In Xoo-infected rice seedlings, AXLP14 strongly and continuously up-regulated the expression of both OsNPR1 and OsWRKY45. In addition, AXLP14 effectively inhibited the Xoo-induced up-regulation of the expression of the abscisic acid biosynthesis gene OsNECD3 and the abscisic acid signalingresponsive gene OsLip9, indicating that AXLP14 may protect rice against Xoo-induced disease by enhancing salicylic acid defense and interfering with the abscisic acid response to virulence.

Sixty-seven Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates from surface seawater from the Wando area, on the southern coast of Korea, were analyzed for their susceptibility to 15 different antimicrobials and the presence of virulence genes. According to the disk diffusion susceptibility test, all of the strains studied were resistant to ampicillin and oxacillin, while decreasing percentages were resistant to vancomycin (64.2%), streptomycin (56.7%), amikacin (31.3%), kanamycin (22.3%), cephalothin (20.9%), erythromycin (10.4%), ciprofloxacin (4.5%), and tetracycline (3.0%). All of the strains were susceptible to five antimicrobials: chloramphenicol, gentamycin, nalidixic acid, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, and trimethoprim. Fifty-nine isolates (88.1%) were resistant to three or more classes of antimicrobial and defined as multidrug resistant, and two strains were resistant to seven antimicrobial agents. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the 67 V. parahaemolyticus isolates to ampicillin and oxacillin ranged from 512-2,048 and $64-512{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. All 67 isolates were also examined for the presence of the tdh and trh virulence genes using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, no isolates possessed either tdh or trh. The VPA0477 (${\beta}$-lactamase) gene, present in all of the tested strains, was validated as a new specific marker gene in PCR assays for the accurate detection and identification of V. parahaemolyticus.
