A total of 28 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium isolated from diseased pigs and swine carcasses between 2001 and 2003 were characterized by the antimicrobial resistance profiles, PCR for detection of S. Typhimurium DT104 and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with the restriction enzyme XbaI. All but one isolate presented multidrug resistance (MDR) to more than two antibiotics tested. A total of 11 resistance profiles were observed, and two phenotypes, ST and ASSuTG, were the most common among them. Two isolates were found to be S. Typhimurium DT104 isolates by PCR, and their resistance profile did not show the DT104 typical resistance type ACSSuT, but ACSSuTGK instead. PFGE identified 11 banding patterns in dendrogram, and three main clusters (designated A to C) were represented. Interestingly, sixteen of 19S. Typhimurium isolates belonging to cluster B showed an identical band pattern.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 (Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 or DT104) has been emerging as a common pathogen for human in Korea since 1997. In order to compare the genomic relationship and to search for the dominant strains in Korea, we conducted pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and IS200 fingerprinting of 25 epidemiological unrelated isolates from human and animals from Korea and cattle from America. Two Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 isolates from human in Korea and all 8 isolates from American cattle had indistinguishable patterns from the PFGE and IS200 fingerprinting but multidrug-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium isolates, including DT104, from Korean animals had diverse genetic patterns. The data suggest that a dominant DT104 strain might have circulated between Korean and American cattle and that it had a high level of clonality.

Protein expression patterns in Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) strains with diverse phenotypes, such as phage type, antibiotic resistance pattern and plasmid profiles were examined. For detailed analysis of proteins expressed by different S. Typhimurium strains, protein fractions were divided into detergent-rich phase (DP) and aqueous phase (AP) using triton X-114 detergent. The two phases were subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), followed by protein identification using peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF). In the results, PMF showed that DP fractions consisted mainly of outer membrane proteins, whereas the AP fractions included cytosolic proteins. Comparison of 2-DE profiles of DP did not show any distinct protein spots which could be correlated with phage type, antibiotic resistance pattern or plasmid profile. However, comparisons of 2-DE profiles of the AP revealed differences in the protein spots, which could be correlated with the plasmid profile and phage types. Among these protein spots, flagellin was specific for strains containing a 90 kb plasmid. Compared to DT193 phage type, three protein spots in the range of pI 5.0-5.5 and MW 8-15 kDa of AP 2-DE profiles were absent in the DT104 phage types. Additionally, a protein spot with PI in the range of 4.5-5.0 and molecular weight (MW) between 51-69 kDa was specific for phage type DT104, while a protein spot with pI in the range of 4.0-4.8 and MW between 18-20 kDa was specific for DT193 phage type. These protein spots may be useful for discriminating phage types of S. Typhimurium.

항생제 및 항균 물질 등의 오, 남용으로 인하여 항생제 내성균들이 등장, 사회적으로 큰 문제가 되고 있으며, 최근에는 식물이나 probiotics 등과 같이 항생제를 대체할 수 있는 물질에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내에서 오래 전부터 민간 요법으로 사용되어 오던 백련초 (Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten)를 이용하여 in vitro와 in vivo에서 Salmonella enteyica serova. Enteritidis (S. enteritidis), S. enterica serova. Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) DT104 및 Escherichia coli O157:H7에 대한 항균능을 평가하였다 백련초의 수용액이 포함된 Moulter Hinton agar에 Salmonella spp. 및 S. coli O157:H7를 접종한 결과 이들 균에 대한 억제능(inhibitory activity)을 확인할 수 있었다. 백련초 제제를 경구투여한 군에서 분변으로 배출되는 S.typhimurium DT104의 수가 급격히 감소하였고, 낀 후에는 더 이상 분변으로 균이 배출되지 않았으며, intestinal IgA가 유의적으로 증가함이 확인되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 백련초가 in vitro에서 S. enteritis, S. Typhimurium DT104와 E. coli O157:H7대한 항균력을 나타낼 뿐만 아니라 마우스의 gastrointestinal tract에서 역시 Salmonella에 대한 항균력을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 백련초 및 그 성분을 이용한 병원성 세균의 제거 및 면역 증진 효과 등과 같은 연구의 필요성이 확인되었고, 그 응용 가능성도 매우 높을 것으로 사료된다.
