Bacterial infection is a very complex process in which both pathogenic microorganisms and host cells play crucial roles, and it is the outcome of interactions between the two participants. To elucidate the bacterial pathogenesis mechanisms, therefore, it is essential to understand the cellular and systemic responses of the host as well as the virulence factors of the pathogen. Infection of a host by pathogenic bacteria causes drastic changes in the physiology of host cells, leading to activation of a program of various gene expression. (omitted)

식용이 간편한 즉석섭취용(ready-to-eat)샐러드 제품의 수요는 나날이 증가하고 있으나 국내 유통 샐러드의 미생물 오염수준은 기준 및 규격이 설정되어있지 않고 그 수준 또한 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 소비가 집중되어 있는 대도시 지역을 중심으로 백화점, 대형할인점 또는 패밀리레스토랑 등에서 판매되는 즉석섭취용 샐러드 제품 120건을 대상으로 하여 coliform bacteria, E. coli, E. coli O157：H7, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp. Listeria monowtogenes 및 Bacillus cereus의 분리시험을 실시하고 일부 제품을 대상으로 일반세균수 및 세척효과를 조사하였다. 제품 120건 중 총 73건에서 coliform bacteria 등이 검출되어 60.8%의 검출율을 보였다. 5. coli가 17건, Staphylococcu aureu가 3건, Salmonella spp.가 1건에서 각각 검출되었고 기타 coliform bacteria는 59건에서 검출되었다. 샐러드는 양식방법에 따라 유기농샐러드와 비유기농샐러드로 나누었고, 종류는 야채로 구성된 야채샐러드와 튀긴 닭 등이 첨가된 혼합샐러드로 나누었으며 판매형태에 따라 완포장제품과 샐러드바 제품으로 나누었다. 양식방법 및 포장방법과 미생물오염과의 통계적 연관성은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 분리된 균주 수에 있어서는 야채샐러드와 혼합샐러드 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차를 보여 야채샐러드의 경우 좀 더 다양한 균종이 분리되는 것으로 나타났다 (p＜0.005). E. coli는 일반 재배 야채샐러드의 경우 90건 중 10건에서 분리되었고 유기농재배 야채샐러드 의 경우 30건 중 7건에서 분리되었다. 식중독 원인균은 비유기농 재배 야채샐러드 4건에서 Staphylococcus aureu가, 1건에서 Salmonella arixonia가 검출되었으나 유기농재배 야채에서는 검출되지 않았다. 널리 판매되는 일부 제품 4종을 5회에 걸쳐 검사한 결과 총 호기성 세균수는 평균 4.8$\pm$0.19 log$_{10}$ cfu/g으로 조사되었다. 같은 제품을 생리식염수와 야채용세척제를 이용해 3분간 침지 후 세척효과를 본 결과 생리식염수는 5회, 야채용세척제는 1회 세척 시 95.5%의 세척효과를 내는 것으로 나타났다.다.

The use of practical management factors to maximize pig health improvement cannot guarantee freedom from diseases. Moreover, because of health safety concerns, the use of antibiotics has been restricted in livestock, including pigs. Therefore, the swine industry has been looking for various alternatives to antibiotics to improve pig's health and performance. Clay is a dietary factor generally accepted for improving pig health. It is a naturally occurring material and is primarily composed of fine-grained minerals. It has a specific structure with polar attraction. Because of this structure, clay has the ability to lose or gain water reversibly. In addition, clay has beneficial physiological activities. First, clay has anti-diarrheic and antibacterial effects by penetrating the cell wall of bacteria or inhibiting their metabolism. Second, it can protect the intestinal tract by absorbing toxins, bacteria, or even viruses. When added to the diet, clay has also been known to bind some mycotoxins, which are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi, namely in cereal grains. Those beneficial effects of clay can improve pigs' health and performance by reducing pathogenic bacteria, especially pathogenic Escherichia coli, in the intestinal tract. Therefore, it is suggested that clay has a remarkable potential as an antibiotics alternative.

Monofunctional biosynthetic peptidoglycan transglycosylase (MBPT) catalyzes the formation of the glycan chain in bacterial cell walls from peptidoglycan subunits: N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and acetylmuramic acid (NAM). Bifunctional glycosyltransferases such as the penicillin binding protein (PBP) have peptidoglycan glycosyltransferase (PGT) on their C terminal end which links together the peptidoglycan subunits while transpeptidase (TP) on the N terminal end cross-links the peptide moieties on the NAM monosaccharide of the peptide subunits to create the bacterial cell wall. The singular function of MBPT resembles the C terminal end of PBP as it too contains and utilizes a similar PGT domain. In this article we analyzed the infectious and non infectious protein sequences of MBPT from 31 different strains of bacteria using a variety of bioinformatic tools. Motif analysis, dot-plot comparison, and phylogenetic analysis identified a number of significant differences between infectious and non-infectious protein sequences. In this paper we have made an attempt to explain, analyze and discuss these differences from an evolutionary perspective. The results of our sequence analysis may open the door for utilizing MBPT as a new target to fight a variety of infectious bacteria.

Biological control of important fungal diseases such as Phytophthora blight of red pepper, gary mold rot of vegetables, and powdery mildew of many crops was attempted using an antagonistic bacterium, Bacillus sp. AC-1 in greenhouses and fields. The antagonistic bacterium isolated from the rhizosphere soils of healthy red pepper plant was very effective in the inhibition of mycelial growth of plant pathogenic fungi in vitro including Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani, Pyricularia oryzae, Botrytis cinerea, Valsa mali, Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium ultimum, Alternari mali, Helminthosporium oryzae, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Culture filtrate of antagonistic Bacillus sp. AC-1 applied to pot soils infested with Phytophthora capsici suppressed the disease occurrence better than metalaxyl application did until 37 days after treatment in greenhouse tests. Treatments of the bacterial suspension on red pepper plants also reduced the incidence of Phytophthora blight in greenhouse tests. In farmers' commercial production fields, however, the controlling efficacy of the antagonistic bacteria was variable depending on field locations. Gray mold rot of chinese chives and lettuce caused by Botrytis cinerea was also controlled effectively in field tests by the application of Bacillus sp. AC-1 with control values of 79.7% and 72.8%, respectively. Spraying of the bacterial suspension inhibited development of powdery mildew of many crops such as cucumber, tobacco, melon, and rose effectively in greenhouse and field tests. The control efficacy of the bacterial suspension was almost same as that of Fenarimol used as a chemical standard. Further experiments for developing a commercial product from the antagonistic bacteria and for elucidating antagonistic mechanism against plant pathogenic fungi are in progress.

Antibiotics used to be supplemented to animal feeds as growth promoter and as an effective strategy to reduce the burden of pathogenic bacteria present in the gastro-intestinal tract. However, in-feed antibiotics also kill bacteria that may be beneficial to the animal. Secondly, unrestricted use of antibiotics enhanced the antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria. To overcome above problems, scientists are taking a great deal of measures to develop alternatives of antibiotics. There is convincing evidence that probiotics could replace in-feed antibiotics in poultry production. Because they have beneficial effects on growth performance, meat quality, bone health and eggshell quality in poultry. Better immune responses, healthier intestinal microflora and morphology which help the birds to resist against disease attack were also identified with the supplementation of probiotics. Probiotics establish cross-feeding between different bacterial strains of gut ecosystem and reduce the blood cholesterol level via bile salt hydrolase activity. The action mode of probiotics was also updated according to recently published literatures, i.e antimicrobial substances generation or toxin reduction. This comprehensive review of probiotics is aimed to highlight the beneficial effects of probiotics as a potential alternative strategy to replace the antibiotics in poultry.
