  • Antimicrobial activities of three different extracts from experimentally prepared scute decoction, commercial scute decoction and an extract from Scutellaria baicalensis were evaluated and their inhibitory potencies were compared. Both the extracts from scute decoction and Scutellaria showed rather strong antimicrobial activities against E. coli and St. aureus at the low concentration of 2.5 mg/ml. On the other hand, the extract of commercial scute decoction was found to show an inhibitory effect at higher concentration (75 mg/ml). All preparations did not inhibit the fungal growth of Aspergillus niger. Both Sh. dysenteriae (Subgroup A) and Sh. boydii (Subgroup C) which were used for determination of the strain differences in Shigelia spp. had almost the same susceptibility to the extract from sucute decoction.

  • There has been many investigations on phytoagglutinin and especially, Moon et al reported a number of research works on phytoagglutinins prepared from the Korean plants. The present report describes results of experiment on the biological effect of 14 Korean phytoagglutinins to microorganism for the first time. 1) Kaolin rubi and Ricinus communis L. among 14 different species of Korean phytoagglutinins had agglutinating activities to microoganisms. 2) Kaolin rubi agglutinated E. coli, Staph. aureus, Ps. aeruginosa, Prot. vulgaris, B. subtilis, Sal. typhi, Sh. dysenteriae, C. albicans and Sa. cerevisiae but Ricinus communis L. showed only agglutination of Sa. cerevisiae. 3) Agglutinating titers of Kaolin rubi to various microorganisms were 500-1,000 but titer of Ricinus communis L. was only 50. 4) Ricinus communis L. showed bactericidal action to Sa. cerevisiae but Kaolin rubi had no such effect.

  • The result of various researches mainly in search of 194 Shigella strains, isolated by the Health Research Centers(situated in Seoul city, Inchon city, Pusan city, Kyonggi-Do, Kangwon-Do, Chungchongnam and Buk-Do, Kyongsangnam and Buk-Do, Jollanam and Buk-Do, and Jaeju-Do) in addition to those clinical laboratories of all the general hospitals situated down twon Seoul, conducted during the month of Jan. through Dec. 85, through the reisolating-activity program following its transportation into the laboratory, particularly for a complete check on its correctiveness, are as follows: 1. Isolation processes were performed with the 194 strains obtained from each placeduring the period of investigation: 164 Strains(84.5%) of Sh. flexneri, B group; 6 Strains(3.1%) of Sh. boydii, C group; 24 Strains(12.3%) of Sh. sonnei, D group, which means there's quite a lot in B group while Sh. dysenteriae, A group was not isolated at all. 2. The isolation rate of the 164, B group for subserotype was 1b, 84(51.2%) the highest one, 2(1.2%) on 3a the lowest one, 4, on C group; In D group subserotype II showed 14(58.4%) more than subserotype I. 3. The biological data on sexuality regarding the isolation-strain showed traditional particularity. But the subserotype 1b in B group 2(2.4%) showed gas-growth from glucose. In subserotype 1a, the indole-growth was 88.9% on masculine which was considerably a good one. In the test of arginine dihydrolase subserotype I among D group showed 100% masculine rate. The subserotype 6 among B group showed 92.5% masculine. In the dissolution test of manitol, all subserotypes showed 100% maculine except subserotype 1b. In the dissolutioning test of rhamnose, the subserotype I among D group showed 100% masculine which is the unusual one. 4. Interms of the area among 13 districts examined, Kangwon-Do had 41(21.1%) which is the highest one on its ratio. 5. In terms of season on the strain isolation category, 44(22.7%) is the number isolated in April which is the highest one. 6. In terms of ages, the strain isolation ratio was notably high above the ages of 60 which was 34(17.5%). Next one was 29(14.9%) which was under the ages of 4. 7. In terms of sex, female was 113 or 58.2% while male was 74 or 38.2%, which means the female had more than the male. 8. The result of the resisting capability on the usage of 12 antibiotic medication was; 100% on chloramphenicol; 94.3% on tetracycline, 82.0% on streptomycin, 76.3% on carbenicillin, 74.7% on ampicillin, in regular order. The strain source bearing multimedication resisivity against the 5 antibiotic medication is as many as 117 or 60.3%. Of which 43.3% of 1b sub serotype, B group was the best one, and thus the resistivity against the antistrain medication seems the tendency is being changed. The summing up of the above result shows the total specific strains isolated in each branch in Korea is 194, of which the main type is Sh. flexneri 84.5%. The isolating rate is almost evenly spreading, although the Kangwon-Do showed the highest rate on the above data. It also shows female is higher than male on its statistics. The tendency on age category showed both on old and infancy generations high. However, the resistant capability against antibacteria medication or vaccine was still remaining on habitual one, particularly tending towards multimedication or vaccine trend.
