  • 즉석섭취편이 식품중 신선편의식품(fresh-cut-vegetable)인 새싹채소와 샐러드의 수요는 급증하고 있으나 특히 새싹채소의 미생물 품질평가를 위한 자료가 거의 없는 상황이다. 따라서 국내 대형할인마트에서 유통중인 새싹채소 50제품, 샐러드 30제품을 수집하여 총 호기성균, 대장균군, E. coli, Salmonella spp, S. aureus, B. cereus, L. monocytogenes, Cam. jejuni, C. perfringens의 오염 연구를 수행하였다. 총 호기성균은 새싹채소에서는 7.95 log CFU/g 검출되었으며 샐러드에서 평균 6.70 log CFU/g검출되어 샐러드 보다 새싹채소에서 약 1 log CFU/g 더 높게 검출되었다. 대장균군은 새싹채소에서 6.69 log CFU/g 검출되었고 샐러드에서 평균 5.42 log CFU/g 검출되었다. E. coli은 새싹채소 50제품 중 16제품(32%)에서 2.38 log CFU/g으로 검출되었고 샐러드 30제품 중 8제품(27%)에서 2.21 log CFU/g으로 검출되었다. B. cereus는 새싹채소 50제품 중 16제품(32%)이 검출되었고 샐러드 30제품 중 16제품(53%)가 검출되었으나 대부분이 3 log CFU/g 이하의 검출율을 보여 주었다. Salmonella, S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, Cam. jejuni, C. perfringens는 검출되지 않았다. 그러므로 분석된 새싹채소와 샐러드에서 B. cereus이외에 다른 식중독 병원성 미생물의 위해 가능성은 크지 않은 것으로 보인다. 그러나 총 세균수가 높게 검출되었고 위생지표세균인 대장균의 검출율이 높아서 이들 식품의 미생물 안전성을 확보하기 위해서 보다 더 철저한 생산유통관리가 요망되며 특별히 새싹채소에 대한 미생물안전성 확보에 대한 노력이 요구된다.

  • The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of quinoa cultivated in Korea and to compare it with imported quinoa from the USA and Peru. The highest amount of total flavonoid contents (TFC) with 20.91 mg quercetin equivalents/100 g was measured in quinoa seed extract cultivated in Korea, while the total phenolic contents (TPC) were significantly higher in quinoa from the USA (16.28 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 g). In addition, quinoa extracts cultivated in Korea displayed a superior antioxidant ability in both, ferric reducing antioxidant power and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl values. There was a high correlation between TFC and antioxidant activity and a low correlation between TPC and antioxidant activity. The antimicrobial activity of the quinoa extracts was determined using a disc diffusion assay and optical density method. In both assays, the quinoa seed extracts did not have strong antimicrobial activity against foodborne bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Campylobacter jejuni.

  • HP0892 (SwissProt/TrEMBL ID O25552) is a 90-residue conserved hypothetical protein from Helicobacter pylori strain 26695, with a calculated pI of 9.38 and a molecular mass of 10.41 kDa. It belongs to the Plasmid stabilization system protein family (PF05016) in the Pfam database. Proteins with sequence similarity to HP0892 exist in Vibrio choierae, Enterococcus faecalis, Campylobacter jejuni, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli O157. Here we report the sequence-specific backbone resonance assignments of HP0892 using multidimentional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. About 97.0% (422/435) of the HN, N, CO, $C{\beta}$, $C{\alpha}$ resonances of 90 residues of HP0892 were assigned. On the basis of the resonance assignments, three helical regions and four strand regions were identified using the CSI program. This study is a prerequisite for calculating the solution structure of HP0892, and will be useful for studying its interaction with other molecules.

  • 식품자판기에 대한 미생물 기준이 마련되었다. 식품의약품안전청은 식품자판기 다류 커피 음료류에 대한 미생물기준을 담은 "식품의 기준 및 규격"를 일부 개정 고시했다. 이 기준이 마련된 것은 청결상태 등 위생관리가 불량하여 지속적으로 문제가 되고 있는 식품자동판매기 음료 등에 대해 효율적인 관리를 위한 기준이 필요하다는 판단 때문이다. 식품자판기 다류 커피 음료류에 적용되는 세균기준은 3,000/mL 이하(다만, 유가공품, 유산균, 발효제품 및 가열하지 아니한 과일 채소류음료가 함유된 경우는 제외)이어야 하며, 대장균은 음성이어야 한다. 이외 살모넬라(Salmonella spp.), 황색포도상구균(Staphylococcus aureus), 장염비브리오균(Vibrio parahaemolyticus), 클로스트리디움 퍼프린젠스(Clostridium perfringens), 리스테리아 모노사이토제네스(Listeria monocytogenes), 대장균 O157:H7(Escherichia coli O157:H7), 캠필로박터 제주니(Campylobacter jejuni), 여시니아 엔테로콜리티카(Yersinia enterocolitica) 등의 식중독균이 검출되어서는 아니 된다. 또한 가공식품에서 많이 검출되는 바실러스 세레우스(Bacillus cereus)는 g 당 1,000 이하(단 멸균제품은 음성이어야한다)이어야한다. 이번 미생물기준의 마련은 앞으로 법정기준을 위반시 처벌대상이 된다는 점에서 유의해야할 사항이다. 이전까지는 식품자판기에 대한 미생물기준이 마련이 되어 있지 않기 때문에 마땅한 법적인 처벌 기준이 없었던 게 사실이다. 따라서 자판기 운영업체에서는 보다 철저한 위생관리가 요구되고 있다. 위생점검에서 미생물 기준을 지키지 않은 지판기에 대해서는 법적 처벌 근거가 마련이 되는 만큼 식품자판기 위생성 향상에 만전을 기해야 할 것이다. 6월 16일 개정고시된 미생물기준은 7월 1일부터 적용된다.

  • Genome engineering with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system can be used as a tool to correct pathological mutations or modulate gene expression levels associated with pathogenesis of human diseases. Owing to well-established local administration methods including intravitreal and subretinal injection, it is relatively easy to administer therapeutic genome engineering machinery to ocular tissues for treating retinal diseases. In this context, we have investigated the potential of in vivo genome engineering as a therapeutic approach in the form of ribonucleoprotein or CRISPR packaged in viral vectors. Major issues in therapeutic application of genome engineering include specificity and efficacy according to types of CRISPR system. In addition to previous platforms based on ribonucleoprotein and CRISPR-associated protein 9 derived from Campylobacter jejuni, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of a CRISPR RNA-guided endonuclease derived from Lachnospiraceae bacterium ND2006 (LbCpf1) in regulating pathological angiogenesis in an animal model of wet-type age-related macular degeneration. LbCpf1 targeting Vegfa or Hif1a effectively disrupted the expression of genes in ocular tissues, resulting in suppression of choroidal neovascularization. It was also notable that there were no significant off-target effects in vivo.

  • The occupations involved in food animal production have long been recognized to carry significant health risks for workers, with special attention to injuries. However, risk of pathogen exposure in these occupations has been less extensively considered. Pathogens are a food safety issue and are known to be present throughout the food animal production chain. Workers employed at farms and slaughterhouses are at risk of pathogen exposure and bacterial infections. The industrialization of animal farming and the use of antimicrobials in animal feed to promote growth have increased the development of antimicrobial resistance. The changed nature of these pathogens exposes workers in this industry to new strains, thus modifying the risks and health consequences for these workers. These risks are not yet recognized by any work-related health and safety agency in the world.

  • Arylsulfate sulfotransferase (ASST) transfers a sulfate group from a phenolic sulfate ester to a phenolic acceptor substrate. In the present study, the gene encoding ASST was cloned from a genomic library copy of Citrobacter freundii, subcloned into the vector pGEM3Zf(-) and sequenced. Sequencing revealed two contiguous open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2) on the same strand and based on amino acid sequence homologyl they were designated as astA and dsbA, respectively. The amino acid sequence of astA deduced from C. freundii was highly similar to that of the Salmonella typhimurium, Enterobacter amnigenus, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas putida, and Campylobacter jejuni, encoded by the astA genes. However, the ASST activity assay revealed different acceptor specificities. Using p-nitrophenyl sulfate (PNS) as a donor substrate, $\alpha$-naphthol was found to be the best acceptor substrate, followed by phenol, resorcinol, p-acetaminophen, tyramine and tyrosine.

  • The objectives of this study were to investigate the behavior characteristics of pathogenic E. coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Campylobacter jejuni, and Listeria monocytogenes in various kinds of meat (beef, chicken, and pork) and to compare their risk using FDA-iRISK. The growth of S. Typhimurium in chicken and pathogenic E. coli in pork and beef was well supported and posed a high risk. A similar trend was observed in the risk comparison results using the iRISK. When comparing total disability adjusted life years (DALY) per year based on the kinds of meat, chicken was the highest (88.2), followed by pork (58.5) and beef for "yukhoe" (18.8). When comparing scenarios grouped by bacteria, The highest total DALYs per year was observed with pathogenic E. coli (121), followed by S. Typhimurium (44.8) and L. monocytogenes (1.67E-3). These results indicate that the risk of combining meat and foodborne pathogens varies under the same distribution environment. Thus, strict management and supervision are required to store and deliver raw meat to prevent cross-contamination among the raw meats at the processing plant and retail market.
