Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fruit juices on Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens involved in Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) among tribal women in the district Anuppur, Madhya Pradesh, India. Methods: Fresh juices of lemon (Citrus limon), amla/Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica), pineapple (Ananas comosus), mosambi/sweet lime (Citrus limetta), orange (Citrus sinensis), kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa), and pomegranate (Punica granatum) fruits were evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens involved in UITs and STIs among tribal women. Physico-chemical analysis of fresh fruits was also carried out by measuring the pH, moisture, protein, fat, crude fibre, carbohydrate, and ascorbic acid content. Results: Lemon and amla juice showed better antibacterial activity against the pathogens as compared to other juices. MIC results fruit juices against UTIs and STIs pathogens vary depending on the specific pathogen and juice chemical constituents. The physico-chemical analysis showed that the moisture content was highest in mosambi (90%), followed by orange (87%). Ascorbic acid content was found highest in amla (540 mg/100 g), followed by kiwi (90.3 mg/100 g). Pomegranate showed highest concentration of carbohydrate (15.28 g/100 g), fat (1.28 g/100 g), and protein (1.65 g/100 g). Lemon juice had lowest pH of 2.20, followed by amla 2.67. Conclusion: The lemon juice showed highest antibacterial activity against MDR bacterial pathogens involved in UTIs and STIs among tribal women in district Anuppur, Madhya Pradesh, India. The low pH of lemon may be responsible for its high antibacterial activity as compared to other juices.

'해품'은 농촌진흥청 국립식량과학원에서 우리나라 중만생종에 편중된 벼 농사의 문제점을 완화하여 수확기 노동력 분산, 수확 후 관리의 유연성 확보, 이모작 재배의 확대를 위해 품질, 수량, 재배안정성이 향상된 중생종 벼 품종을 개발하고자 육성되었다. 벼흰잎마름병 저항성 고품질 '익산493호'(품종명 '진백')를 모본으로 하고 복합내병충성 '익산495호'('다청')와 단간 내 도복 직파적응성 '익산496호'('중모1005')를 교배한 F₁을 부본으로 삼원교배한 F₁을 약배양하여 계통육성과정, 생산력 검정시험 및 지역적응성 검정시험을 거쳐 육성되었다. '해품'은 보통기보비재배에서 평균 출수기 8월 11일로 '남평'에 비해 3일 정도 빠른 중생종이다. '해품'은 간장이 73 cm로 '남평'보다 8 cm 작은 단간 품종으로 도복에 안정적인 특성을 나타내며, '남평'과 비슷한 내수발아성을 갖추고 있어 중생종 품종의 남부평야지 재배 시 수발아 피해를 경감시키는데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다. '해품'은 벼흰잎마름병 저항성 유전자 Xa3과 xa5 두 개가 집적되어 있어 병원성이 강한 벼흰잎마름병균 K3a균계까지 저항성이며 줄무늬잎마름병에 강하고 도열병에 중도저항성을 나타내는 복합 내병성 품종이다. '해품'은 중만생종에 비해 수확기가 빠른 중생종임에도 보통기 보비재배에서 '남평'과 비슷한 수량성을 나타냈으며, 이모작 재배시험에 적용 가능한 수량성을 나타냈다. '해품'은 쌀의 외관품위가 좋고 밥맛이 우수하여 최고품질 품종에 선정되는 등 중생종 품종 및 벼흰잎마름병 저항성 품종의 품질 향상에 기여하였다. '해품'은 최고품질에 적정수량성을 확보하고 있으며 내수발아성, 벼흰잎마름병 저항성 등 재배안정성이 향상된 중생종 품종으로 남부평야지 및 벼흰잎마름병 발병상습지 재배에 적합하다(품종보호권 등록번호: 제6068호, 2016. 5. 3.).

Purpose: The present study aimed to develop guidelines regarding initial choice of antibiotics for diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) by investigating bacterial isolates. Materials and Methods: This study included 223 DFU patients that visited a single tertiary hospital and underwent bacterial culture between January 2016 and February 2020. The study was conducted in two parts: 1) to compare bacterial isolates and wound healing according to comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD), and 2) to compare bacterial isolates according to wound depth using the Wagner classification. Results: Of the 223 patients, 43 had CKD (group A), 56 had PAD (group B), 30 had CKD and PAD (group C), and 94 had none of these comorbidities (group D). The isolation rate for multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria (MRGNB) and gram-negative to gram-positive bacteria ratio were highest in group C (p=0.018, p=0.038), and the proportion that achieved wound healing was lowest in group C (p<0.001). In the second part of the study, subjects were classified into 5 grades by wound depth using the Wagner classification; 13 grade I, 62 grade II, 60 grade III, 70 grade IV, and 17 grade V. No significant difference was observed between these grades in terms of isolation rates or gram-negative to gram-positive bacteria ratios. Conclusion: This study suggests antibiotics that cover gram-negative bacteria including MRGNB produces better results in the presence of CKD and PAD and that initial antibiotic choice should be based on the presence of CKD and PAD rather than wound depth.

Capsicum pepper selections fro PI163192, PI241670, PI244670, PI271322, PI308787, PI322719, and PI369994 were confirmed to be non-hypersensitively resistant to race 3 of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria. A resistant cultivar,‘SR’, was shown to be hypersensitive. Four Koran local cultivars, a cytoplasmic male sterile line (A-line) and its maintainer (B-line) were highly susceptible. The resistant selections and cultivars were crossed with a male sterile A-line (Smsms) and fertility of their F1 hybrids was examined by observing he pollen production, testing pollen germination, and quantifying the amount of pollen produced per anther to identify the genotype interacting with the male sterile cytoplasm. The seven resistant PI selections turned out to be restorers (N(S)MsMs) and‘SR’to be a maintainer (Nmsms).

The in vitro inhibitory activities of essential oils from Thymus magnus and T. quinquecostatus as well as their main constituents were evaluated against susceptible and resistant species of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis, and Salmonella typhimurium. Notably, the essential oil fraction of T. magnus and its main components displayed significant inhibitory action against both antibiotic-susceptible and resistant strains of S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and S. typhimurium with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 0.125 to 8 mg/mL. The differential MIC values imply that the oil fraction and its main components exhibit distinct patterns of activity against the tested bacterial species. Moreover, the disk diffusion test revealed that the inhibitory activities of oil fraction and components were dose-dependent. Data from the checkerboard titer test confirmed synergism between the antibiotic, norfloxacin, and T. magnus oil or thymol, particularly against the resistant strains of S. aureus.

Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines에 의해 발생하는 콩 불마름병은 콩을 재배하는 많은 지역에서 가장 많이 발생하는 세균성 병해 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 콩 불마름병 발생 억제를 위한 저항성품종, 파종시기, 작부체계에 대한 효과를 포장에서 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 100여 품종을 자연 감염된 포장에서 저항성을 평가한 결과 푸른콩 등 14품종이 저항성을 나타내었고 30여 품종이 병반면적률 3% 이하의 중간 저항성을 나타내었다. 또한 불마름병 감수성 품종인 태광콩을 5월 25일, 6월 5일, 6월 15일, 6월 25일 등 10일 간격으로 파종시기를 조절하여 병반면적률을 조사한 결과 23.3%-25.7%, 14.7%-18.0%, 10.7%-12.8%, 1.0%-2.7%의 발생을 각각 확인하였다. 불마름병 발생이 가장 낮은 처리구는 6월 25일 파종구였으며, 발생이 가장 심한 처리구는 5월 25일 처리구였다. 파종시기가 늦어질수록 불마름병 발생은 감소되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 2006년 12월부터 2007년 6월까지 5개의 콩-동계작물 작부체계의 토양을 채집하여 불마름병 병원균의 생존밀도를 조사하였다. 조사결과 모든 작부체계에서 병원균이 검출되었으며 콩-보리 작부체계와 콩-마늘 작부체계의 병원균 밀도가 다른 작부체계보다 생존밀도가 낮았다. 더욱이 두 개의 작부체계는 콩 불마름병 발생도 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다.

Many of the fungicides and antibiotics currently available against plant pathogens are of limited use due to the emergence of resistant strains. In this study, we examined the effects of diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPIC), an inhibitor of the superoxide producing enzyme NADPH oxidase, against fungal and bacterial plant pathogens. We found that DPIC inhibits fungal spore germination and bacterial cell proliferation. In addition, we demonstrated the potent antibacterial activity of DPIC using rice heads infected with the bacterial pathogen Burkholderia glumae which causes bacterial panicle blight (BPB). We found that treatment with DPIC reduced BPB when applied during the initial flowering stage of the rice heads. These results suggest that DPIC could serve as a new and useful antimicrobial agent in agriculture.

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREFM) is becoming a threatening pathogen. We identified a gene called DD1.5K by differential display-PCR, which was preferentially expressed in the bloodstream isolates of VREFM. Due to its amino acid similarity to transfer complex protein, trsE, and tissue-specific expression, this gene may be involved in virulence of VREFM.
