Riemerella anatipestifer (RA) infection is a contagious disease of domestic ducks, turkey, and various other birds. In a flock of mallard ducklings, about 30% of the birds, 3 weeks old, showed lethergy, greenish diarrhea, tremor of head and neck, and died 2-3 days after signs appeared. Grossly, fibrinous exudates covered the heart and surface of the live. Microscopically, mononuclear cells and heterophils were primarily inflammatory cells in the exudate. These were also observed in the meninges in brain. Microbiologically, gram (-) short rod bipolar shaped bacteria were recovered on blood agar and agglutinated by antisera of R anatipestifer. Sulfamethoxasole/trimethoprim were administered and clinically effective. This case was a R anatipestifer infection caused fibrinous pericarditis, hepatitis and meningitis in mallards.

This survey was carried out to investigate the infection rate of Riemerella anatipestifer from domestic ducks by isolation. A total of 145 samples (nasal swabs and carcasses) were collected from farms to examine the biochemical properties and antimicrobial susceptibility test from November 2006 to February 2008. Riemerella anatipestifer was isolated from 13 of 145 sample and isolation rate was higher in the ducks below 25 days (76%, 10/13 isolates) than those over 26 days (23%, 3/13). However, there was no significant difference in isolation rate between region. The biochemical properties of isolate were Gram negative (-), non-fermentative rod that grows fastidiously on routine media. In the test of antimicrobial drug susceptibility the isolates were susceptible to tetracycline(100%), enrofloxacin (77%), ampicillin (70%).

Riemerellosis, contagious disease of domestic ducks in Korea, occurred in December of 2007 in a farm located in Eumsung, Chungbuk province. The affected ducks were 22 days old and the owner reported that almost one hundred of ducks had died everyday for a few days after infection. Clinical signs were listlessness, ocular and nasal discharge, greenish diarrhea, ataxia, tremor of head and legs, and coma. On necropsy we found fibrinous exudate, which involved serosal surfaces in general, but most evidences were in the pericardial cavity and over the surface of the liver. The causative agent was isolated from the liver of the affected ducks and identified as Riemerella anatipestifer using biochemical tests. Also, the isolate was susceptible to ampicillin, cephalothin, sulfamethazole/trimethoprim, Florfenicol among the 23 species antibiotics (AST Discs, OXOID) used in our laboratory. Further studies should be needed for the more effective control and better epidemiological information such as pathogenicity, serotype, genotype and treatment.

리메렐라 아나티페스티퍼 감염증은 오리와 거위에서 섬유소성 심막염, 간주위염증, 기낭염, 건락성난관염, 뇌막염을 특징으로 하는 급성 또는 만성 패혈증이다. 이 균은 혈청형 또는 분리주별로 병원성에 큰 차이가 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지금까지 이러한 다양한 병원성과 그 이유에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 리메렐라 아나티페스티퍼의 병원성과 serum resistance 상관성을 구명하였다. 우리는 다양한 분리원으로부터 확보한 130주의 균주를 대상으로 serum resistance 특성을 분석하였다. 건강한 오리 인후두에서 분리된 균주들은 혈청에 대한 감수성이 높은 반면에 전신감염을 일으킨 균주들은 강한 serum resistance를 보였다. 또한 우리는 이러한 혈청의 살균효과가 혈청내 보체 성분에 의해 유도됨을 확인하였다. 강한 serum resistance를 유발하는 세균의 표면 유전자와의 관련성을 조사한 결과, 외막 단백질의 AS87_09335, AS87_00480, AS87_05195 유전자가 serum resistance와 관련 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과로 serum resistance 특성이 리메렐라 아나티페스티퍼의 병원성 결정 요소 중 하나라는 것을 확인하였다.

An antagonistic bacterium, KJ1R5,, to Phytophthora capsici was obtained from root interior of a healthy pepper plant. To identify the bacterial antagonist, 16S rDNA sequence analysis, Biolog system, fatty acid methyl-esters (FAMEs), and physiological and biochemical characterization were conducted. The determined 165 rDNA sequence of KJ1R5, showed higher similarities to those of a group consisting of several Chryseobacterium strains with 95.2, 95.2, and 95,1％ similarity to C. defluvii, Chryseobacterium sp. FR2, and C. scophthalmum, respectively, In addition, Halounella gailinarum, Bergeyella zoohelcum, and Riemerella anatipestifer are another group for KJ1R5, with 94.1, 89.7, and 87.2％ similarities, respectively When identification of the antagonistic bacterium, KJ1R5, was conducted using BIOLOG system, the strain KJ1R5, was identified as Flavobacterium tirrenicum (similarity； 0.75％). Fatty acid profiles of the strain KJ1R5, were composed mainly of iso-17：0 w9c and iso-15：0 and identified as Chryseobacterium balustinum (similarity 0.524％). KJ1R5, was Gram-negative, regular short rods ranging from 0.8 $\mu\textrm{m}$ to 1.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and had no flagella. Phenotypic characterization of the antagonistic bacterium indicated that KJ1R5, were included in the genus Chreseobacterium, which belongs to the family Flavobacteriaceae. The strain was distinguished from these six existing species. These results indicated that strain might be placed as a new species in the genus Chryseobacterium.
