According to various negative effects of antibiotic growth promoters, the effects of nature-derived alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters are mainly investigated in livestock industry these days. The effects of nature-derived alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters are mainly investigated in livestock industry these days. This study was conducted to estimate the efficiency of natural-derived alternatives to antimicrobial and antioxidant such as oregano oil (OGO), sulfide type antimicrobial peptides derived from Bacillus or Yeast (SAPBY), antimicrobial peptides derived from yeast (APY). The lactic acid bacteria growth effects were found to be minimal. The antibacterial activity of SAPBY was minimal, but OGO and APY showed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium, and APY also showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus. Antioxidant effects were observed in all SAPBY, OGO, and APY, and when comparing the radical scavenging rate at 10 mg·mL^-1 for each sample, OGO showed the highest at 84.9%, followed by SAPBY at 48.7%. Therefore, the substances that can be used as natural antibiotics are SAPBY, APY, and OGO. It is believed that adding these substances to feed and feeding them to livestock will greatly contribute to improving the health of livestock and the productivity of safe livestock products. In further, research focused on various nature-derived alternatives to antibiotic growth promoter in livestock industry is needed.

The antibiotic and antioxidant effect of botanical antimicrobial agent-citrus product(BAAC) prepared from citrus fruits were investigated by using fishmeats made from pollack and ascidian fillet. We inoculated Salmonella typhi into fishmeats that were aferwards treated with BAAC varying the concentration level (50-500ppm) including the control not-treated with BAAC. While specimens were stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for designated period, we measured changes of total number of bacteria, peroxide level and textural properties. In addition, we performed organoleptic examination, focusing on appearance, texture and odor for fishmeats treated with BAAC and stored for designated period. For pollack and ascidian fishmeats, the initial total number of bacteria were 3.7${\times}$l0$^4$CFU/g and 7.5${\times}$l0$^4$CFU/g, respectively. After they were treated with 250 ppm of BAAC solution and stored for 5 days at 5$^{\circ}C$, the figures reduced to 2.5${\times}$l0CFU/g and 8.4${\times}$10CFU/g. No bacteria were found in fishmeats treated with above 500 ppm of BAAC, which remarkably proved antibiotic effect of BAAC solution. Furthermore, all the BAAC-treated specimens exhibited notable antioxidant effect. Fishmeats which were previously treated with 500 ppm of BAAC solution and stored for 30 days at 5$^{\circ}C$, showed the lower peroxide level of 16.5 meq/kg than 68.9 meq/kg in the control of pollack and 21.2 meq/kg than 80.7 meq/kg in the control of ascidian. In the results of texture and organoleptic evaluation we could also observe good effects of BAAC on maintaining the freshness of fisher products.

여러가지 염이 sisomicin 발효에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴본 결과, CoCl$_2$만이 항생물질 생성의 대사반응에 cofactor로서 작용하였으며 16.8 $\mu$M에서 최대항생물질의 수율이 얻어졌다. 한편, 앞의 경우보다 훨씬 높은 염농도에서 ZnSO$_4$, KH$_2$PO$_4$, FeSO$_4$그리고 MgSO$_4$가 각각 발효배지에 첨가되었다. ZnSO$_4$와 KH$_2$PO$_4$는 전혀 효과가 없었으나 FeSO$_4$는 약간 항생물질 수율의 향상을 가져왔다. 그러나 MgSO$_4$의 경우, 매우 높은 염농도에서도 균체생육의 저해가 약간 일어났으며, 최종 항생물질의 수율은 100% 이상 증가되었다. 이러한 결과는 부분적으로 발효 중 균체내에 생성된 항생물질이 균체외로 유출되는 효과가 증진된 것에 기인한다.

This study is a report on combinational effects between four sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) from bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) leaves, and oxytetracycline (OTC) or amoxicillin (AMX) against four fish pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio anguillarum, V. harveyi, Edwardsiella tarda, and Streptococcus iniae. Individually, four SLs exerted little antibacterial activity against fish pathogenic bacteria. However, when combined with OTC or AMX, they showed synergistic interaction against pathogenic bacteria. Especailly, zaluzanin C (1) reduced the MIC of OTC (or AMX) eight-fold. Our results showed that combinations of SLs with antibiotics (ABTs) are more effective than ABTs alone to control pathogenic bacteria. The highest synergistic effect was observed when zaluzanin C (1) was combined with OTC or AMX against V. harvey or S. iniae, displaying significant reductions of MICs up to 8-fold (0.125 to 0.015 ㎍/mL and 0.0078 to 0.0009 ㎍/mL). In addition, zaluzanin C (1) improved the antibiotic potency of OTC against OTC resistant V. harveyi (250 ㎍/mL to 62.5 ㎍/mL). Synergism between ABTs and phytochemical such as SLs could be a therapeutically helpful concept to improve the efficacy of ABTs and prevent antibiotic resistance. These results suggest that SLs can be used as an alternative to reduce antibiotic resistance in aquaculture.

Metallo-${\beta}$-lactamase (MBL) can hydrolyze all ${\beta}$-lactams except monobactams and frequently coexists with various antibiotic resistance genes such as aminoglycoside resistance, sulfonamide resistance gene, etc. Therefore, the effective antibiotics against infections by these bacteria are markedly limited or can't even be found. We tried to search in-vitro antimicrobial combinations with synergistic effects for a VIM-2 type MBL producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from clinical specimen. On the selection of antibiotic combinations with synergistic effects, we performed a one disk synergy test, modified Pestel's method, in agar without aztreonam (AZT). The bacteriostatic synergistic effects of this tests were scored as $S_1$ (by susceptibility pattern in agar without antibiotics), $S_2$ (by the change of susceptibility in agar with or without antibiotics) and $S_3$ ($S_1$ + $S_2$) and was classified into weak (1 point), moderate (2 points) and strong (3 points) by $S_3$ score. Subsequently, we carried out the time-killing curve for the antibiotic combinations with the strong synergistic bacteriostatic effect. One VIM-2 type MBL producing P. aeruginosa confirmed by the PCR showed all resistance against all ${\beta}$-lactams except AZT, aminoglycoside and ciprofloxacin. In the one disk synergy test, this isolate showed a strong bacteriostatic synergistic effect for the antibiotic combination of AZT and piperacillin-tazobactam (PIP-TZP) or AZT and amikacin (AN). On the time-killing curve after six hours of incubation, the colony forming units (CFUs/mL) of this bacteria in the medium broth with both combination antibiotics were decreased to 1/18.7, 1/17.1 of the least CFUs of each single antibiotics. The triple antibiotic combination therapy including AZT, PIP-TZP and AN was shown to be significantly synergistic after 8 hrs of exposure. In a VIM-2 MBL producing P. aeruginosa with susceptibility for AZT, the triple antibiotic combination therapy including AZT, PIP-TZP and AN may be considered as an alternative antibiotics modality against the infection by some MBL type. But the antimicrobial combination therapy for many more MBL producing isolates is essential to know as soon as possible for the selection of effective treatment against the infection by this bacteria.
