  • The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of a first-generation cephalosporin derivative, Cefazedone (CZD; $PAZERON^R$ inj.) was determined by the two-fold serial agar dilution method. The in-vitro antibacterial activity of CZD against a wide variety of clinical isolates was compared with those of other first generation cephalosporins such as Methylol Cephalexin (CEX), Cefazolin (CEZ), Cefadroxil (CDX), Cephradine (CED), Ceftezol (CTZ) and one of second generation cephalsporin antibiotics, Cefotaxime (CTX). CZD had the most potent inhibitory effect against Gram-positive strains, when compared to the first-generation cephalosporin antibiotics tested in this study and CTX. The geometric MIC mean of CZD for Gram-positive strains was calculated as 0.386 kg/m{\ell}$, and those of CEX, CEZ, CDX, CTZ, CED, and CTX were 6.073, 0.894, 3.399, 0.748, 7.884 and 1.502 $kg/m{\ell}$, respectively. In addition, the geometric mean of CZD for staphylococclJs aureus strains was obtained as 0.340 $kg/m{\ell}$ and those of CEX, CEZ, CDX, CTZ, CED, and CTX 6.145, 0.534, 4.126, 0.442, 10.51, and 2.500 $kg/m{\ell}$, respectively. Against Gram-negative strains, CZD showed better antibacterial activity than CEZ, CDX, CTZ, and CED.

  • The present work was conducted to investigate the drug susceptibility of microorganisms isolated from canine external ear canals. Antifungal susceptibility test of M pachydermatis (17 strains) was perfomed by agar dilution method, using 11 antifungal drugs including amphotericin B(A), nystatin(N), pimaricin(P), griseofulvin(G), bifonazole(B), clotrimazole(C), miconazole(M), econazole(E), ketoconazole(K), tolnaftate(T), 5-fluorocytosine(F). All isolates were highly sensitive to K, M, T(geometric mean MIC ; GM $MIC{\leq}0.16{\mu}g/ml$) but they weren't sensitive to P, F and G(GM $MIC{\geq}92.37{\mu}g/ml{\sim}{\geq}128{\mu}g/ml$). Antibacterial susceptibility test against 119 isolates of bacteria was performed by agar dilution method, using 9 antibacterial drugs including erythromycin(ET), chloramphenicol(CP), gentamycin(G), vancomycin(V), ampicillin(AP), amoxacillin(AX), chlortetracycline(CT), ciprofloxacin(CF), enrofloxacin(EF). All isolates of Staphylococcus spp(101 strains) were highly sensitive to EF, CF, G(GM MIC $0.33{\sim}1.47{\mu}g/ml$). In other gram positive cocci(4 strains), they were highly sensitive to EF, CF, V(GM MIC $1{\sim}4.76{\mu}g/ml$) and CT(GM MIC 1 UFL unit/ml). In gram positive rods(13 strains), they were highly sensitive to EF, CF, G(GM $MIC{\leq}0.19{\sim}1{\mu}g/ml$). In Pseudomonas aeruginosa(1 strain), it was highly sensitive to AX, EF, ET, CF(GM MIC $0.06{\sim}1{\mu}g/ml$) and CT(GM MIC 1 UFL unit/ml). All isolates weren't sensitive to AP(GM MIC 16~>$32{\mu}g/ml$).

  • Sclerotium rolfsii causing southern blight on numerous vegetable and fruit crops was isolated from stems of chili peppers showing wilting symptoms. The pathogen was identified by morphological observation and DNA sequencing analysis of ITS region. To select an effective fungicide for control of southern blight, we investigated the inhibition efficacy of thirty fungicides included in nine groups of fungicides with different mechanisms of action. A fungal growth inhibition assay was conducted through an agar dilution method by using mycelial discs and sclerotia of the pathogen as inoculum, respectively. When mycelial discs were used as an inoculum, several fungicides showed good inhibitory activity against the mycelial growth of S. rolfsii 12-6. All DMI fungicides tested had a good inhibition except for prochloraz which had low inhibitory effect. All strobilurin fungicides tested except for kresoxim-methyl and all SDHI fungicides tested except for boscalid and fluopyram, had a good inhibition. Also, fludioxonil, a protective fungicide and fluazinam had a good inhibitory effect. Interestingly, when sclerotia were used as an inoculum, inhibition efficacy was increased for fluopyram, a SDHI fungicide, and for some protective fungicides such as propineb, chlorothalonil, dithianon, and folpet. All the fungicides selected in this study should be tested in the field for their control activities against stem rot for practical use in chili pepper cultivation.

  • These studies were made to assess the present stage of resistance to antibiotics, incidence and transferability of R-factors against E. coli. From March to July 1987, 59 strains of E. coli were isolated from specimens of patients collected at university hospitals in Seoul, 64 strains from stools of domestic animals and 66 strains from drainages in Seoul. These specimens were tested for resistance to 12 kinds of antimicrobial agents by means of agar dilution method. Using Muller-Hinton agar for the assay of drug resistance and tryptic soy broth as propagating medium for conjugation. The strains of E. coli were found to be resistant to one or more antibiotics and were considered to be potential donors of R-plasmid. The resistant strains of E. coli isolated from patients, domestic animals and drainages were found to be 55(93%), 33(52%) and 31(47%), respectively. Resistance to Tc, Ap and Cb was the highest in those isolated from patients and drainages, and resistance to Tc, Cm and Sm was the highest in those isolated from domestic animals. In the transfer test of drug resistance by conjugation method, 17 strains (47%) isolated from patients, 15(54%) isolated from domestic animals and 15(56%) isolated from drainages showed positive results, transperable resistant plasmid molecules with variable range in each strain.

  • An antimicrobial compound has been isolated from the leaves of Glochidion superbum. The compound was determined as methyl 3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoate (methyl gallate), based on ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS) analysis. The isolated compound exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against three clinical isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by qualitative agar disc diffusion method and quantitative broth dilution method. Agar disc diffusion was done in a dose-dependent manner for each bacterial isolate at disc potencies of 25, 50, 100, and $150{\mu}g/disc$. The zones of inhibition were on average equal to 12.27, 14.20, 15.43, and 24.17 mm respectively. The inhibition zones were compared with that of vancomycin disc at $30{\mu}g$ as a reference standard. The MIC and MBC values were $50{\mu}g/ml$ and $100{\mu}g/ml$ respectively. The results of anti MRSA activity were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with Turkey's HSD and Duncan test. In conclusion, methyl gallate which was isolated from G. superbum showed the inhibition activity against methicillin resistant S. aureus.

  • In this exploratory study, eight types of microalgae from different phyla (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Chlorella species, Haematococcus pluvialis, Porphyridium purpureum, Porphyridium cruentum, Isochrysis species, Isochrysis galbana, and Pavlova lutheri) were tested for their antibacterial activities against eight target pathogenic bacterial strains. The agar well diffusion method and broth micro dilution assay were conducted to estimate the antibacterial activity. Microalgae cell-free supernatants, exopolysaccharides (EPS), water, and organic solvent extracts were used for inhibition analysis. EPS extracted from P. lutheri showed activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Inhibition zone diameters of 14-20 mm were recorded on agar plates, while the minimum inhibitory concentrations in the broth micro dilution assay were $0.39-25mg\;ml^{-1}$. During this study, haptophyte microalgae, Isochrysis species, and P. lutheri extracts showed the highest activity against most of the tested pathogenic bacterial strains, while most of the extracts were active against the important foodborne pathogen P. aeruginosa. This study showed promising results regarding important microalgae phyla, which will further aid research related to extracts and exploitation of bioactive metabolic compounds in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

  • This study was performed to characterize the chromosomal metallo-${\beta}$-lactamases (MBLs) of Chryseobacterium indologenes isolated from Korea and to propose a clustering method of IND MBLs based on their amino acid similarities. Chromosomal MBL genes were amplified by PCR from 31 clinical isolates of E. indologenes. Nucleotide sequencing was performed by the dideoxy chain termination method using these PCR products. Antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined by the agar dilution method. PCR experiments showed that all 31 E. indologenes isolates contained all $bla_{IND}$ genes. DNA sequence analysis revealed that E. indologenes isolates possessed ten types of $bla_{IND}$ gene, including seven novel variants ($bla_{IND-8}$ to $bla_{IND-14}$). The most common combination of MBL was IND-2 (n = 18). Minimum inhibitory concentrations of imipenem and meropenem for the isolates harboring novel IND MBLs were ${\geq}16{\mu}g/mL$. IND MBLs were grouped in three clusters, based on amino acid similarities.
