Vibrio 패혈증의 원인균인 V. vulnificus 에 대한 치사독소의 소재, 특성 및 독력을 밝히고저 해수에서 분리된 균(V. vulnificus S-1)과 환자에게 분리된 균(V. vulnificus M-1)을 새앙쥐 (institude cancer research mouse)에 복강 주사하여 실험하였다. 환자에서 분리된 균과 해수에서 분리된 균의 치사 독성은 차이가 없었으며 새앙쥐에 복강 주사하였을 때 $LD_{50}$은 $7.80{\times}10^6$ 이었다. V. vulnificus 의 조용혈소는 새앙쥐에 대한 치사독성이 없었으며 치사 독소는 균체 내에 존재하였으며 이 독소는 $80^{\circ}C$, 20분에 불활성화 되었다.

Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin has been incriminated as one of the important virulence determinants in V. vulnificus infection. In the present study, the effects of Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin on platelets were examined. Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin induced platelet aggregation and increased intracellular calcium concentration ($[Ca^{2+}]_i$) of rat platelets. These effects were abolished in $Ca^{2+}-free$ buffer (2 mM EGTA). Cytolysin also potentiated ADP-and collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Lanthanum (2 mM) inhibited cytolysin-diduced platelet aggregation. However, another $Ca^{2+}$ channel blockers, verapamil ($20{\;}{\mu}M$) or mefenamic acid ($20{\;}{\mu}M$) did not block cytolysin-induced platelet aggregation. Osmotic protectants, sucrose (50 mM) and raffinose (50 nM) suppressed platelet aggregation by 35.9% and 63.4%, respectively. V. vulnificus cytolysin increased membrane conductances of platelet membranes. These results suggest that cytolysin-induced platelet aggregation is mediated via lanthanum sensitive-calcium influx which resulted from the pore formation by V. vulnificus cytolysin.

Vibrio septicemia,, resulting in high mortality, has been caused by Vibrio vulnificus. Ingestion of marine products or contact with sea water contaminated with Vibrio vulnificus can cause septicemia. Vibrio vulnificus has been detected world wide and west sea area of Korea, Kum river estuary in particular, showed high detection rate. Higher detection rate of Vibrio vulnificus were reported in the bottom deposit with low depth of water, low salinity, and high COD. Man with the liver disease can easily come down with Vibrio septicemia and the main source is the sliced raw fish dish. The preventive measure for this disease is to wash raw fish material thoroughly with tap water and handle in sanitary conditions. Washing with sea water is strictly prohibited . It may be necessary to forbid the small-scale businessmen from selling the sliced ray fish dish in the vicinity of seashore. Man with the liver disease of diabetes should not swim or consume the raw fish dish in the contaminated area during summer.

This study was focused on the isolation of pathogenic Vibrio species, V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus from marine environment from May to July of 1999. Isolation sites were coast near by Pusan and Daechon. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Seventy strains of V. parahaemolyticus and 19 strains of V. vulnificus were isolated from a total of 120 specimens. 2. Nineteen strains of V. vulnificus did not fermented arabinose and salicin but fermented lactose and cellobiose. All of V. parahaemolyticus isolates did not fermented lactose and cellobiose. 47 strains of V. parahaemolyticus fermented arabinose but 53 strains did not fermented salicin. 3. V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus isolates showed three different API index numbers with 5046105 and 4346107 dominant. 4. V. vulnificus did not grow on 0% and 8% NaCl containing medium. V. parahaemolyticus grew on 8% NaCl containing medium. 5. V. vulnificus isolates and V. parahaemolyticus revealed different outer membrane protein profiles on SDS-PAGE.

Vibrio vulnificus, a halophilic Vibrio has gained worldwide attention as a cause of severe and frequently fatal wound infections and life-threatening septicemia. For this reason V. vulnificus is thought to produce extreme hemoconcentration and rapid death after infection, and because V. vulnificus is thought to be less susceptible to bactericidal activity of normal human serum, the present study was undertaken to assess the susceptibility of V. vulnificus to human serum bactericidal activity with that of V. parahemolyticus and V. cholerae and to assess the effect of Vibrio species, Salmonella typhimurium and E. coli on hematocrit values in experimentally infected mice. Serum bactericidal activity against both V. vulnificus and V. cholerae was higher than against V. parahemoltyicus. Survival of the test strains in heat-inactivated human serum was greater than that in heat-uninactiveted serum. Both V. parahemolyticus and V. cholerae produced slight hemoconcentration within 2 to 6 hr after intraperitoneal injection of $10^7$ viable bacteria into mice. In contrast, V. vulnificus, S. typhimurium and E. coli produced hemodilution rather than hemoconcentration after 4 or 6 hr after infection. With these results the author can conclude that V. vulnificus is more susceptible to serum bactericidal activity than other Vibrio species, and V. vulnificus did not produce hemoconcentration.

Vibrio vulnificus Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was extracted, performed chemical analysis, tested its biological activities, and compared to those of Escherichia coli LPS and Salmonella typhimurium LPS. The lethal activity of V. vulnificus LPS was 138.6138.6 mg/kg in mouse, but this was lower than thowe of E. coli LPS (56.3 mg/kg) and S. typhimurium LPS (37.5 mg/kg). The result of fatty acid analysis showed that V. vulnificus LPS had more saturated fatty acid than E. coli LPS and S. typhimurium LPS. Above results indicated that V. vulnificus LPS did not have much effect on the lethality. The results of biological responses of enzymes and blood cells by LPSs showed that V. vulnificus LPS had slightly greater activity than E. coli LPS and S. typhimurium LPS. V. vulnificus LPS was recommendavle for stimulant on interferon induction because of adequate stimulation and safety for host and cell lines.

Vibrio vulnificus가 생산하는 용혈독소의 단백화학적, 면역화학적 연구에 이용할 목적으로 이 균의 용혈독소에 대한 항혈청을 간편하게 만드는 방법을 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. Vibrio vulnificus가 생산하는 조용혈독소를 인위적으로 만든 liposome (cholesterol-phos-phatidyl-liposome)에 혼합하여 반응시킨 결과 분자량 50kD의 단백질인 용혈독소만 선택적으로 liposome에 결합되었다. 그러므로 liposome에 결합시킨 조용혈독소를 면역원으로 하고 이 면역원을 토끼의 등근육에 주사하여 항혈청을 간편하게 만들 수 있었으며 이 항혈청은 용혈독소에 대한 특이성이 높았다. 환자와 환경에서 분리된 Vibrio vulnificus의 용혈독소와 liposome를 이용하여 제조한 항혈청을 gel 내 침강반응으로 확인한 결과 단일 침강선을 형성하였다.

The naturally occurring plasmids of Vibrio species have been isolated in part to investigate their genetic traits. Among six different Vibrio species tested, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio mimicus and Vibrio furnissi did not show any presence of plasmid. One environmental isolate of Vibrio pnrahemolyticus harboring plasmid was observed. The isolated plasmid was 8.7 kb by analysis with restriction endonuclease digestion. No common feature was shown relationships between the presence of plasmid and resistance against commonly used antibiotic compounds from the tested Vibrios. Key words . plasmid, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio uulnincus, Vibrio mimicus, Vibrio furnissi, Vibrio parahemolyticus.
