  • Unlike most Escherichia coli strains, E coli O157 : H7 didn't ferment sorbitol within 24h of incubation and showed a negative reaction for $\beta$-glucuronidase. We developed a new medium for the rapid isolation of E coli O157 : H7 using sorbitol MacConkey agar with cefixime, potassium tellurite and 4-methylumbelliferyl-${\beta}$-D-glucuronide (MUG) as a primary plating medium. The addition of $20{\mu}g/ml$ of vancomycin in enrichment broth for E coli O157 : H7 inhibited lots of Gram positive bacteria. Three strains (10.3%) of 29 non-O157 E coli strains and 3 strains (8.3%) of 36 Salmonella spp were inhibited at the $0.05{\mu}g/ml$ of cefixime and 23 strains (79.3%) of 29 non-O157 E coli strains and 12 strains (33.3%) of 36 Salmonella spp were inhibited at the $2.0{\mu}g/ml$ of potassium tellurite. But none of the E coli O157 : H7 was affected at these concentration. The addition of MUG at $100{\mu}g/ml$ level to sorbitol MacConkey agar with cefixime and potassium tellurite (CTM-SMAC) aided in the rapid isolation of E coli O157 : H7 from samples by checking sorbitol-negative and $\beta$-glucuronidase negative phenotypes simultaneously. In conclusion, inoculation of a positive in the O157 screening test from enrichment broth on CTM-SMAC appeared to be a rapid, cost-effective and sensitive method for the isolation of E coli O157 : H7.

  • Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a food-borne pathogen that causes bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). We compared three selective media and evaluated the performance of immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for the detection of low levels of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef and radish sprouts with different levels of background flora. Bulk food samples (500 g for each trial) were artificially inoculated with nalidixic acid-resistant E. coli O157:H7 at the lowest dose that would generate 20 partial-positive samples of 25 g each. All samples were homogenized in mTSB (225 mL) and incubated overnight at $37^{\circ}C$. IMS was performed using the enriched mTSB samples (1 mL) along with conventional spreads plated onto three different selective media: Sorbitol MacConkey agar (SMAC), Sorbitol MacConkey agar with cefixime and tellulite (CT-SMAC), and Sorbitol MacConkey agar with nalidixic acid (NAL-SMAC) as the gold standard. Two suspicious colonies from each medium were selected and confirmed usinga serological test after transfer to tryptic soy broth with yeast extract (TSAYE). CT-SMAC was better than SMAC for detecting E. coli O157:H7 in all food types. Although there was no statistical difference in the number of positive samples when using IMS vs. non-IMS techniques, more positive samples were detected when IMS was used in both ground beef and radish sprouts. It appears that the improvement was more significant in radish sprouts, which had a higher level of background flora than ground beef. The results also suggest that the combination of CT-SMAC and IMS is sufficient to recover low levels of E. coli O157:H7 in high background flora food samples.

  • 목 적 : Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157은 설사, 출혈성대장염 등을 일으키며, 드물게 용혈성 요독증후군까지 일으키는 세균이다. 미국이나 유럽에서는 세균성설사의 2~3번째로 흔한 원인균이다. 우리나라는 이 세균감염이 거의 없는것으로 알려져 왔으나, 우리나라도 점차 햄버거와 같은 간이음식의 섭취가 늘어나, 이 세균감염이 생겼을 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료되어, 향후 이 세균에 대한 통상적인 변배양 검사의 필요성 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1996년 3월부터 1997년 2월까지 6개월 이상된 소아설사 환아의 변배양 검체를 대상으로 하였다. Sorbitol-MacConkey 한천에 배양한 후 형성된 집락 중 무색 집락을 대상으로 E. coli로 동정된 것을 E. coli O157 라텍스 응집검사를 실시하여 응집이 되면 양성으로 판독하였다. 결 과 : 총 317 검체중 11월에 1 검체 (0.3%)에서 Shiga 독소를 생성하지 않는 E. coli O157:NM이 분리되었다. 7세 남아로 2일간의 복통과 1일간의 설사 및 구토를 주소로 입원 한 후 특별한 치료없이 2일후 증상이 호전되어 퇴원하였다. 결 론 : 검사된 모든 대변 검체중 한 검체 (0.3%)만이 E. coli O157이 분리되었으나 Shiga 독소를 생성하지 않는 군주였다. 따라서 이 세균의 분리를 위한 통상적인 변배양 검사는 아직 불필요한 것으로 사료되었다.

  • 본 연구는 도시 하수처리장의 미생물 군집 내 항생제 내성 세균의 특징과 하천으로의 항생제 내성 세균 노출의 계절적 변화의 특성을 평가하였다. 일반 종속영양세균 배양을 위한 R2A agar (R2A)와 대장균군을 선택하여 배양하는 MacConkey sorbitol agar (MSA)에 항생제를 첨가 하여 제작한 배지에 하수처리장 시료를 도말하여 배양한 결과 모든 시료에서 다제 항생제 내성 세균을 검출 해 낼 수 있었다. Ampicillin과 sulfathiazole의 내성률이 다른 나라에 비해 높게 측정 되었으며 시료내 유기물의 정도, 사용된 배지에 따라 내성률이 다름을 볼 수 있었다. R2A 배지에서 분리된 다제 항생제 내성 세균은 모두 기존에 알려진 병원성 세균과 그 염기서열이 유사한 것으로 볼 때 병원성 세균의 항생제 내성 정도가 일반 세균보다 높음을 본 연구 결과로 보일 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 하수처리장이 하천에 미치는 유해성을 계절별로 관찰하여 전체 미생물중 항생제 내성 세균의 비율은 수온과 비례한다는 결과를 얻었다. 이 결과는 지구 온난화가 미생물 유해성을 증가시킬 가능성을 시사한다.

  • In this study, we developed kinetic models to predict the growth of pathogenic Escherichia coli on cheeses during storage at constant and changing temperatures. A five-strain mixture of pathogenic E. coli was inoculated onto natural cheeses (Brie and Camembert) and processed cheeses (sliced Mozzarella and sliced Cheddar) at 3 to 4 log CFU/g. The inoculated cheeses were stored at 4, 10, 15, 25, and $30^{\circ}C$ for 1 to 320 h, with a different storage time being used for each temperature. Total bacteria and E. coli cells were enumerated on tryptic soy agar and MacConkey sorbitol agar, respectively. E. coli growth data were fitted to the Baranyi model to calculate the maximum specific growth rate (${\mu}_{max}$; log CFU/g/h), lag phase duration (LPD; h), lower asymptote (log CFU/g), and upper asymptote (log CFU/g). The kinetic parameters were then analyzed as a function of storage temperature, using the square root model, polynomial equation, and linear equation. A dynamic model was also developed for varying temperature. The model performance was evaluated against observed data, and the root mean square error (RMSE) was calculated. At $4^{\circ}C$, E. coli cell growth was not observed on any cheese. However, E. coli growth was observed at $10{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$C with a ${\mu}_{max}$ of 0.01 to 1.03 log CFU/g/h, depending on the cheese. The ${\mu}_{max}$ values increased as temperature increased, while LPD values decreased, and ${\mu}_{max}$ and LPD values were different among the four types of cheese. The developed models showed adequate performance (RMSE = 0.176-0.337), indicating that these models should be useful for describing the growth kinetics of E. coli on various cheeses.
