가축용 항생제로 널리 사용되는 Tetracycline (TC)군은 주로 가축 분뇨를 통하여 환경에 퍼지게 된다. TC는 환경 내에서 중금속 양이온과의 리간드 결합을 통해 토양으로의 흡착량과 그 이동성이 변화되리라 예측된다. 그러나 지금까지 수용액 내에서 토양 외 반응을 통해 확인되었고 토양 내에서 식물에 대한 영향 평가는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 토양 내 구리가 TC와 반응하여 TC에 의한 식물 독성에 미치는 영향을 확인하는데 있다. 본 실험은 토양에 $750mg\;kg^{-1}$의 TC와 각각 0, 2.5, 7.5, $17.5mg\;kg^{-1}$의 $CuSO_4$를 처리한 후, 처리된 토양에 상추를 재배하여 처리 농도에 따른 상추의 성장 정도를 비교하였다. 실험 결과 상추에 유의한 독성이 나타나는 것으로 확인된 $750mg\;kg^{-1}$의 TC가 처리된 토양에서 구리의 처리가 상추에 발현되었던 독성을 저감시키는 것을 확인하였다.

항균 활성이 대체로 상승되었으나 Sarcina maginata의 경우는 약간 감소되었다. $\beta$-lactam 항생 물질인 penicillin G.Na와 ampicillin.Na도 인삼 saponin의 첨가로 항균 활성이 상승되었으나 Serratia 속 세균은 penicillin G.Na의 항균활성에 일정한 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 인삼 saponin 의 첨가에 의한 항생 물질들의 항균 활성의 변화는 Gram양성 세균 및 Gram음성 세균에 대해 일정하지 않은 상승 작용 혹은 길항작용과 같은 비특이성을 나타내었다. 세균의 약제 내성 현상도 인삼 saponin자 항생물질의 투여로 배제될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

In the present experiments, isolated Vibrio species from marine and clinical specimens from July, 1985 to October, 1986, had the results as follows: 1. The 55 strains of Vibrio were isolated and identified; Vibrio parahaemolyticus was 35 strains, Vibrio vulnificus was 10 strains, Vibrio alginolyticus was 10 strains. 2. In the K-serotyping of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, fourteen serotypes identified but three were not strains typable by the availble K-antisera. 3. In the Kanagawa phenomenon experiment of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, it proved positive reaction, 14 of 15 strains(93%) isolated from the patient and 13 of 20 strains(65%) isolated from the nature. 4. In twelve antibiotic resistance experiments, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio alginolyticus showed 100% resistance on ampicilline, but Vibrio vulnificus showed 100% sensitivity. But all of them proved 100% sensitivity on chloramphenicol, tetracycline, nalidixic acid. 5. In the antibiotic resistance patterns, Vibrio parahaemolyticus proved that 15 strains(43%) resisted on 4 antibiotics and 5 strains(14%) resisted on 7 antibiotisc and.

Wastewater of anthropogenic origin is known to harbor various bacteria that are known to be of potential risk to human health and environment. It is of utmost importance to monitor such water sources. Coliforms present in the sewage water samples of municipal sewage treatment plants located at three different places in the South Gujarat region (Surat, Navsari and Vapi) of India were analyzed for their coliforms load as well as tested for their drug resistance. Using cultivation-based techniques microbial load and drug resistance (Amoxicillin, Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Erythromycin, Trimethoprim and Sulphamethoxazole) were analyzed. Water treatment statistically significantly decreased the bacterial load in Vapi and Navsari samples. The optical density of with and without antibiotics of all the three locations was shown to increase significantly after 72 hours. Of all the isolates tested, except isolate 'VA5' (resisted up to 90 ㎍ of Ampicillin) all other isolates resisted 256 ㎍ concentration of antibiotics tested. This study indicates that the sewage water is being contaminated with drugs and/or antibiotics due to industrial and/or anthropogenic activities. Regular monitoring of the water quality is required followed by implementation of environmental laws for reducing the pollutants, that are of human health and environment concern.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is the most common cause of childhood bacterial pneumonia. Although macrolide is known to be effective as a first-line therapy, the proportion of macrolide resistance in MP pneumonia has strikingly increased during recent 2 decades in East Asia. This is challenging to physicians since they have to decide more often whether to use secondary treatment. Diagnostic methods to detect macrolide-resistance of MP are currently not available in Korean hospitals. Even in the diagnosis of MP infection, both serologic and molecular test have limitation: inability to differentiate current illness from carriage or asymptomatic infection. Combining these 2 diagnostic methods and excluding infection caused by other respiratory pathogens allow a more reliable diagnosis. This effort is even more demanding in recent years to keep children from unnecessary exposure to secondary antibiotics. Although several observational studies have reported that tetracycline and fluoroquinolone, which are considered in the treatment of refractory MP pneumonia, have efficacy of shortening the duration of fever and respiratory symptoms, those findings need to be proven by well-designed prospective studies. The use of tetracycline and fluoroquinolone in children is generally tolerable, as supported by many observational data. However, since concerns about side effects still remain, careful consideration about benefits and risks is needed to decide their use.

치주질환은 세균에 의한 감염성 질환으로, 기계적 치태제거에 의한 치료의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 항세균 제재를 통한 화학적 치태 및 세균제거가 필요하게 되었다. 전신적으로 항생제를 투여할 경우 유효농도의 유지를 위해 많은 양의 약물이 투여되어야 하고, 여러가지 부작용의 위험이 있으므로, 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위한 국소 약물 송달체계가 필요하게 되었다. 본 실험의 목적은 치주질환 치료에 가장 많이 쓰이는 tetracycline을 calcium sulfate와 혼합하여, calcium sulfate의 서방형 국소 약물 송달효과에 대해 알아보고자 함이다. Modified calcium sulfate paste 와 10% tetracycline을 혼합한 것을 실험 1군으로, calcium sulfate와 10% tetracycline을 혼합하여 완전 경화 시킨 것을 실험 2군으로, calcium sulfate와 10% tetracycline을 혼합하여 경화되기 전에 사용한 것을 실험 3군으로, tetracycline-ethylene vinyl acetate fiber를 실험 4군으로 하여 시간별 tetracycline 방출농도, 유효농도 지속시간, calcium sulfate의 흡수기간 등을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 실험 1군은 실험 5주까지 유효농도($4{\mu}g/ml$)이상의 농도를 유지하였고, 실험 2군은 실험 9일까지 유지하였으며, 실험 3군은 실험 7일까지 유효농도이상의 농도를 유지하였고, 실험 4군은 실험 15일까지 유지하였다. 2. 실험 2군은 평균 11.8일에 완전 용해 되었고, 실험 3군은 14.8일에 완전용해되었다. 3. 실험 2군과 3군은 실험 1주까지 방출된 tetracycline의 농도에 유의차를 보이지 않았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 볼 때, calcium sulfate는 tetracycline과 혼합하였을 때 일정 기간 동안 충분한 양의 tetracycline을 방출시키고, $11{\sim}14$일 정도 후에는 완전히 녹아 없어지므로, 서방형 국소 약물 송달 제재로서 가능성이 있으리라 생각된다.

The performances of tetracycline based cation selective polymeric membrane electrodes of many sets with different plasticizers were investigated as the selectivity of ion-selective electrodes and optodes are greatly influenced by membrane solvent and also controlled by plasticizers. The membrane 1 with Bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DOS) and additive shows good potentiometric performance toward Ca2+ (slope: 27.8 mV per decade; DL: -4.52) including selectivity. Contrastingly, membrane 4 with Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) shows near-Nernstian response, it has also shown the best measuring range and detection limit for Ca2+ (29.5 mV and -5.10) and Mg2+ (24.4 mV and -5.04) and the least selectivity has been also observed between Ca2+ and Mg2+. When the membrane 1 and 4 were used together to flow system, we could determine the concentration of Ca2+ and Mg2+, simultaneously.

Antibiotic pollution is one of the factors contributing to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment. Advanced oxidation and irradiation processes have been introduced to eliminate antibiotics from water and wastewater. However, few studies have reported the toxic effects of residual antibiotics and their byproducts induced by a treatment system. In this study, we compared the efficacies of chemical (high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)) and biological (antimicrobial susceptibility test) assays for measuring the concentrations of residual antibiotics after gamma irradiation for degrading amoxicillin, cephradine, lincomycin, and tetracycline. The concentrations of residual antibiotics estimated using the two assay methods were almost identical, except cephradine. In the case of cephradine, inhibited bacterial growth was observed that was equivalent to twice the concentration measured by HPLC in the samples subjected to gamma irradiation. The observed inhibition of bacterial growth suggested the generation of potentially toxic intermediates following antibiotic degradation. These results indicate that biological and chemical assays should be used in concert for monitoring antibiotic contamination and the toxic derivatives of antibiotic degradation. The results demonstrate that these four antibiotics can be decomposed by 2.0 kGy gamma-irradiation without toxic effects of their byproducts.
