Interleukin-18 (IL-18) has been known to induce interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$) production and promote Th1 immunity. Although mammalian IL-18 has been characterized in great detail, the properties and application of chicken IL-18 remain largely uninvestigated as of yet. In this study, we evaluated the immunomodulatory properties of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium expressing chicken interleukin-18 (chIL-18) on immune responses induced by avian influenza (AI) and Newcastle disease (ND) vaccines. After oral administration of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium expressing chIL-18, chickens were vaccinated intramuscularly with the recommended dose of either inactivated AI H9N2 vaccine or ND (B1 strain) vaccine. Chickens receiving a primary vaccination were boosted using the same protocol 7 days later. Humoral and cell-mediated immune responses were evaluated in terms of HI antibody titers and proliferation and mRNA expression of IFN-${\gamma}$ and IL-4 of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in response to specific antigen stimulation. According to our results, oral administration of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium expressing chIL-18 induced enhanced humoral and Th1-biased cell-mediated immunity against AI and ND vaccines, compared to that of chickens received S. enterica serovar Typhimurium harboring empty vector. Therefore, we conclude that our proposed vaccination regimen using inactivated AI and ND viruses along with oral administration of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium expressing chIL-18 may provide a novel approach in protecting chicken from currently circulating AI and ND virus strains.

This study was performed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of the Hedyotis diffusa extracts against food-borne pathogens. First, the Hedyotis diffusa was extracted with methanol at room temperature and the fractionation of the methanol extracts was carried out by using petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethyl acetate, and methanol respectively. The antimicrobial activity of the Hedyotis diffusa extracts was determined by using a paper disc method against food-borne pathogens and food spoilage bacteria. The methanol extracts of Hedyotis diffusa showed the highest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella flexneri. Synergistic effect in inhibition was observed when Hedyotis diffusa extract was mixed Sophora subprostrata extract as compared to each extracts alone. Finally, the growth inhibition curves were determined by using ethyl acetate extracts of Hedyotis diffusa against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhimurium. The methanol extract of Hedyotis diffusa had strong antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus at the concentration of 4,000 ppm. At this concentration, the growth of Staphylococcus aureus was retarded more than 36 hours and up to 24 hours for Salmonella Typhimurium. In conclusion, the methanol extracts of Hedyotis diffusa inhibit efficiently Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhimurium.

The toxic substances (endotoxins) from the bacterial cell walls were extracted by using incubator, centrifuge, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and their fatty acid compositions were analyzed by Gas Chromatography. The lethal toxicities and pyrogenic activities of toxic substances were tested and the results were compared each other. The results of fatty acid analyses showed that the major fatty acid of the toxic substance was tetradecanoic acid for Vibrio vulnificus, dodecanoic acid for Escherichia coli, and decanoic acid for Salmonella typhimurium. These three fatty acids were the main fatty acids ofr three toxic substances (more, than 70%). The unique points in the fatty acid compositions were that tetradecanoic acid was composed as important one (37.15%) for V. vulnificus and that the amount of hexadecanoic acid was very small (below 2%) for three toxic substances. The lethal toxicity in ICR mice of toxic substance from V. vulnificus (LD50 was 52.5 mg/kg) was similar to that of E. coli (56.5mg/kg), but weaker than that of S. typhimurium (37.5mg/kg). Toxic substance from V. vulnificus was more pyrogenic in rabbit than that from E. coli, but less than that from S. typhimurium.

The present study investigated the bactericidal effects of chlorine dioxide (CD) and electrolyzed water (EW) on pathogenic bacteria, such as Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Escherichia coli O157:H7, by treatment them with CD and EW, respectively, for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 min. Additionally, the sensitivities of Gram-positive (B. cereus and S. aureus) and Gram-negative (S. Typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7) to CD and EW were compared, respectively. In CD, the D-values for B. cereus, S. aureus, S. Typhimurium, and E. coli O157:H7 were 1.85±0.64, 2.06±0.85, 2.26±0.89, and 2.59±0.40 min, respectively. In EW, the D-values for B. cereus, S. aureus, S. Typhimurium, and E. coli O157:H7 were 2.13±0.32, 1.64±0.64, 1.71±0.32, and 1.86±0.36 min, respectively. All strains decreased consistently for 10 min in both CD and EW. However, the D-values of each bacterial species did not differ significantly between CD and EW (P>0.05). When comparing the bactericidal effect of CD and EW, no difference in D-value was observed, even though the pH and available chlorine concentration of CD were significantly lower than those of EW. These data could be used for the application of CD and EW in the food industry, considering characteristics such as the selection of optimal disinfectants, determination of optimal concentrations, and sensitivity to disinfection targets.

The antimutagenic activity of resveratrol on the mutagenicity induced by Trp P-1 (3-amino-1,4-dime-thyl-5H-pyrido{4,3-b}indole) was studied using the Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and 100. Trp P-1 showed strong mutagenecity in S. typhimurium TA98, but was higly decreased mutagenecity in S. typhimurium TA100. This result suggests that the mutagenecity of Trp P-1 can be mainly induced by the DNA lesions causing frame shift. Resveratrol itself did not show antibacterial effect upon 300 $\mu\textrm{g}$/assay. Resveratrol showed the strongest inhibitory effect with dose dependent manner on the mutagenicity induced by Trp P-1. The inhibition rates of resveratrol at concentration of 2, 10, 25, 50, 100, 300 $\mu\textrm{g}$/assay were 13%, 37%, 52%, 65%, 81%, 89%, respectively.

The in visto inhibitory activities of essential oils of the Rosmarinus officinalis as well as its main constituents were evaluated against antibiotic-susceptible and -resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae, Salmonella enteritidis and S. typhimurium. The essential oil fraction of R. officinalis and its main components, 1,8-cineole and camphor, exhibited significant inhibitory activities against most of the tested strains in this study, with MICs(minimum inhibitory concentrations) racing from 0.5mg/ml to 16mg/ml. The total oil fraction showed higher activity than its main components, 1,8-cineole and camphor against S. aureus strains. No remarkable differences were evident between MICs of the susceptible and resistant strains of S. aureus. Among the tested strains, S. pneumoniae CCARM 3523, the resistant strain to norfloxacin, oxacillin and erythromycin exhibited significantly lower sensitivity to the tested oils than antibiotic-susceptible strain. The oils revealed mostly higher inhibitory activity against S. typhimurium than against S. enteritidis.

To investigate the antibacterial activity of the traditional bronze alloy Yugi, the cultures of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157, Enterobacter sakazakii, and Bacillus cereus were exposed to the metal coupons of bronze, copper, tin, and stainless steel, and the sterilizing activities were analyzed. Antibacterial efficacy of copper coupon toward S. Typhimurium, E. coli, and E. sakazakii were the highest among them and those were followed by bronze, tin, and then stainless steel in the activity order. However, there was little sterilizing activity on Gram-positive B. cereus. Minimal inhibitory concentrations of cupric ion were 25 ppm for S. Typhimurium, E. coli, and E. sakazakii, and 50 ppm for B. cereus. Yugi bronze alloy showed more rigidity and practicality in comparison with copper, and has been used in Korea. Therefore, the bronze alloy may be more effective to reduce the cross-contamination of S. Typhimurium, E. coli, and E. sakazakii than stainless steel in food processing surface.

The growth inhibition effect of Orally administrated yogurt ACE and Metchnikoffupon E. coli O157:H7 and S. typhimurium inoculated into gastric lumen of rabbits was in vestigated. The rabbits challenged with each 1 $m\ell$ of suspension containing 108 CFU/$m\ell$ of the pathogens were divided into 4 groups by the interval of yogurt administration: A group; preadministrated 7 days before inoculation of the pathogens and fed daily; B group; administrated daily after inocjlation of the pathogens, C group; administrated every 3 days after inoculation of the pathogens; Control group, not fed after inoculation of the pathogens. Each 3 $m\ell$ of yogurt containing 109 CFU/$m\ell$ was orally administrated into rabbits. All yogurt administrated groups (A, B, c) chowed growth ingibition effect on E. coli O157:H7 in one day after inoculation of the pathogen by the level of 0.8~1.0 log CFU/g, compared with the result differences between the control group and the yogurt administrated groups. In the control group after 5 days of inoculation, the number of colonized pathogens was 105~106 CFU/g, whereas 103~104 CFU/g was detected in the yogurt administrated groups. After 10 days of inoculation, the viable pathogen number per gram (g) of the rabbit feces was 103 CFU/g in the control group, whereas the number below 101 CFU/g was detected in the group A, and 102 CFU/g in the control group, B and C. The growth inhibition effect of yogurt administration on E. coli O157:H7 was highly increased in the order of A, B, and C group. The same effect on S. typhimurium was observed at the level of 2 log CFU/g in the Metchnikoff yogurt administrated groups, compared with the control group result in one day after inoculation of the pathogen. In 7 days after inoculation of the pathogen, the viable number was increasingly decreased, and finally after 15 days no viable cell of S. typhimurium was discharged into the fecal samples in the group A, and the mean level of 10* CFU/g was detected in the group B, but there was no growth inhibition effect in the group C. The growth inhibition effect on S. typhimurium was observed at the same level of viable cell number between the yogurt ACE administrated groups and the control group in 5 days after inoculation. But, after 10 days of inoclation the viable cell number was started to decrease, and the viable cell of S. typhimurium was not discharged from rabbit intestinal contents after 15 days of inoculation in the yogurt ACE administrated groups. In such a case that yogurt was administrated in order to prevent the pathogens, pre-administration on a daily basis one week before inoculation of the pathogens exerted considerable effect in growth inhibition. In comparison with two kinds of yogurt tested in this study, the growth inhibition effect on two kinds of pathogens was observed more highly in the Metchnikoff administated group than the ACE administrated group.
