Anti-microbial effects of the medium extracts from three different lactic acid bacteria (LB1, Lactobacillus acidophilus; LB2, Lactobacillus casei; LB3, Lactobacillus sicerae) were investigated. Three different extracts of lactic acid bacteria media (ELAM) did not show significant changes in pork loin quality after 3 and 14 days of cold storage such as general contents, colors, pH, and TBARS. To determine anti-bacterial activity of three ELAM, three pathogenic bacteria (Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus) were obtained and incubated with ELAM-absorbed paper discs. ELAM of LB2 and LB3 showed significantly larger bacterial growth inhibitory zones compared with that of LB1 (P<0.05). When the pathogenic bacteria inoculated in pork loin with three ELAM, total microbial contents of pork loin treated with ELAM of LB3 after 14 days of cold storage showed significantly lower microbial contents compared to those of control, LB1 and LB2 (P<0.05). In conclusion, ELAM of LB3 derived from L. sicerae had the most effective pathogenic bacteria inhibitory activity on agar and pork loin. This is the first result to report the antibacterial effect of L. sicerae. If the safety and toxicity characteristics of L. sicerae are further investigated, this new lactic acid bacterium would have potential as an effective and nature-friendly food preserving agent.

A study was conducted to determine the safety of feeding processed broiler litter (BL) to beef cattle. The litter was processed by deepstacking, ensiling and composting. The health issues addressed relevant to the safety of feeding litter included pathogenic bacteria, mycotoxins, heavy metals, medicinal drugs and pesticide residues. Exp. 1 evaluated the feed hygiene of processed rice hulls-bedded BL. The presence of pathogenic bacteria in BL was determined before and after deepstacking. A total of 21 BL samples were collected over a 3-year period of commercial and experimental production of BL for beef cattle. Exp. 2 evaluated the safety of meat of cattle fed deepstacked BL. In Exp. 1, there were no pathogenic bacteria, such as coliform, E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, Listeria and Proteus, in deepstacked BL. Levels of heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) and toxic heavy metals (As, Pb, Cd and Hg) were lower than the commercial feed tolerances. Aflatoxin, medicinal drug and pesticide residues were detected at extremely low levels. In Exp. 2, the meat of the BL-fed animals exhibited few differences in all analyzed items from that of the control group, showing safety from pathogenic microorganisms and heavy metals. When BL was withdrawn for 14 days prior to slaughtering the BLfed cattle, no medicinal drug residues were detected in the meat. Pesticides in the tissues of either group of animals were much lower than the tolerances. In conclusion, processed rice hulls-bedded BL and the meat of cattle fed BL were safe from the potential hazards of pathogenic bacteria, heavy metals, aflatoxin, medicinal drugs and pesticide residues.

There are lots of waterborne diseases which are caused by pathogenic microorganisms disseminated in contaminated environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the status of water qualify and in order to investigate the sanitary condition of water purifier in northern part of Gyeonggi-do. We analyzed pathogenic microorganisms and 44 items of drinking water criteria from April to July in 2002. The results were as follows. 1. In 774 samples of water purifier, Pathogenic bacteria(salmonella, E coli O-157, O-26, O-111, shigella, pseudomonas etc.) were not isolated and total coliforms not detected. 2. About 76.5% of the water with purifier are found to be appropriated to the drinking water quality criteria. but 182 samples(23.5%) were without limits of drinking water criteria. 3. In the microbiological examination, 774 samples of purified water showed that 169 samples(21.9%) exceed the range of recommended limits(100 $CFU/m{\ell}$) to the total viable bacterial counts by pour plate method.

On the purpose of epidemiological survey relate to food poisoning, a total of 114 samples of different salads collected from fast food Restaurants in Gyeonggi-do were for the presence of pathogenic microorganisms. Microbial assessment of salads revealed that TPC($1.1\times10\;\~\;8.4\times10^{5}\;CFU/g$) and coliforms($0\~5.4\times10^{4}\;CFU/g$) exceeded the standards by Solberg et al. ($TPC:10^{5}\;CFU/g,\;coliforms:10^{2}\;CFU/g$). Two pathogenic bacteria were isolated from salad samples, and identified by biochemical methods, including API identification systems. Isolates from PALCAM agar and MYP agar media were in 98.6, $99.8\%$ agreements with Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus at the species level, respectively. All 7 strains of Bacillus cereus isolates produced enterotoxin as revealed with CRET-RPLA.

The gamma-radiation sensitivity of eight kinds of pathogenic bacteria related to beef was investigated in frozen cells $(-18^{\circ}C)$ with 0.1 M phosphate buffer and inoculated cells in beef. In frozen cells, D10 values of pathogenic bacteria related to beef were $0.07{\sim}0.69$ kGy, and inactivation factors were $2.90{\sim}42.86$ at the radiation doses of $2{\sim}3$ kGy. Beef was inoculated with Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Enterobacter aerogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Aeromonas hydrophila. Inoculated beef samples were packaged in air and irradiated at 0.005 to 3.0 kGy. Ninety percent of the viable pathogenic bacteria in beef was eliminated by doses of $0.1{\sim}0.61$ kGy at room temperature, and the inactivation factors were $3.28{\sim}30.0$ kGy at the radiation doses of $2{\sim}3$ kGy. Therefore, irradiation is considered to be an effective method to control pathogenic bacteria in beef.

This study was carried out to get basic resources for the industrial use of Lactobacillus bulgaricus SP5. The antibacterial activity of the supernatant obtained from Lactobacillus bulgaricus SP5 was tested against the pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli KCCM 11234, Salmonella enteritidis KCCM 3313, Salmonella enteritidis KCCM 12021, and Salmonella typhimurium KCCM 40253. The supernatant of L. bulgaricus SP5 showed antibacterial activity against tested pathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activity was examined after adjusting pH and heat treatment of supernatant. Heat treatment of supernatant had antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria at all temperature. However, pH changes showed no antibacterial activity. Antibacterial activity of the supernatant was confirmed to be due to organic acids (lactic, acetic, phosphoric, succinic, pyroglutamic, citric, malic, and formic acid).

To obtain antimicrobial algae against fish pathogenic bacteria, we screened 80% methanolic extracts of 30 algae using fish pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus sp., Edwardsiella tarda and Vibrio anguillarum. Among them, Corallina officinalis, Dumontia simplex, Gloipeltis furcata, Grateloupia lanceolata and Grateloupia turuturu were effective for growth inhibition of a Gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus sp.. Sargassum thunbergii and Polysiphonia morrowii exhibited significant inhibitory effects against the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, both E. tarda and V. anguillarum. Moreover, antimicrobial activity-guided fractionation for P. morrowii extract yielded significantly active 90% methanolic fraction. This fraction significantly inhibited the growth of E. tarda exhibiting a MIC of 1 mg/ml. In addition, its antimicrobial activity was stable under various pH conditions.

The goal of this manuscript is to determine seed-borne plant pathogenic bacteria and phytoplasmas among quarantine pests in Korea. Four and two prohibited bacteria and phytoplasmas, respectively, and 35 and 17 restricted bacteria and phytoplasmas, respectively, were assessed whether they are seed-borne or not based on preliminary reports. As results, two species of prohibited bacteria, eighteen species of restricted bacteria, and one species of restricted phytoplasma have been determined as being seed-borne plant pathogenic bacteria. Thus, quarantine fields must account for these lists once inspection has been conducted on imported seeds and also use of these lists can help to reduce the production of new diseases that can spread from infected imported seeds.
