Campylobacter jejuni에 48${\circ}C$의 열충격을 30분간 주었을 때, HSP90, HSP66, HSP60의 열충격 단백질들이 합성되었고, 이 단백질들은 각각 E. coli의 hsp87, HSP66 (DnaK), HSP58(GroEL)에 상응하는 단백질들이었다. 여러가지의 제한효소로 처리한 C. jejuni의 chromosomal DNA에 E. coli의 groEL(4.0kb)을 probe로 사용하여 Southern hybridization한 결과, 이들과 상동성을 가지는 유전자들이 있음을 확인하였다. C. jejuni의 groEL 유전자를 pWE15 cosmid를 이용하여 recombinant plasmid pLC1을 만들고, 이를 E. coli B178 groEL44 ts mutant에 형질전환시켜 E. coli LC1을 얻었다. 이 pLC1에는 groEL 유전자가 존재하는 5.7kb인 insert DNA가 포함되어 있었고, 그로부터 subcloning한 pLC101에는 groEL을 포함하는 4.0kb의 DNA가 삽입되어 있었다. 이 recombinant plasmid들이 형질전환된 E. coli LC1과 LC101 균주에서는 C. jejuni의 GroEL 단백질이 과다 생산되었다. C. jejuni의 groEL이 cloning된 E. coli LC1은 42${\circ}C$에서의 생장능력이 회복되었고, ${\lambda}$ vir phage에 대한 감수성도 회복되는 등의 chaperon 효과가 입증되었다.

Campylobacter jejuni 에 열처리를 했을 때 그들의 생존성 및 열충격 단백질 합성의 양상과 더불어, dnaK 와 groESL 유전자를 이용하여 C. jejuni 의 열충격 유전자를 검출하여 그 특성을 E. coli 의 열충격 유전자와 비교하였다. C. jejuni 의 열충격 단백질은 48.deg.C 에서 가장 잘 발형되었으며, 48.deg.C 에서 30 분간의 처리중 세포들의 생존율은 떨어지지 않았다. C. jejuni 의 열충격 단백질로서의 Hsp90, Hsp66, Hsp60 이 합성되는 것을 SDS-PAGE 및 방사선사진법을 통해 확인하였다. dnaK 와 groESL 을 DNA 탐침자로 이용하여 Southern hybridization 한 결과, C. jejuni 의 열충격 유전자도 groESL 과 dnaK 유전자와 상동성을 가진 염기서열을 가지고 있었으나, 두 균주사이에는 열충격유전자를 내포하고 있는 DNA 상에서 제한효소의 절단부위에 차이가 있었다.

Radio-frequency driven atmospheric pressure plasma using argon gas was studied in the inactivation of Campylobacter jejuni in order to investigate its applicability. First, the inactivation study was conducted on an agar surface. C. jejuni NCTC11168 was reduced by more than 7 Log CFU after an 88 s treatment. Another strain, ATCC49943, was studied; however, the inactivation was less efficient, with a 5 Log CFU reduction after a 2 min treatment. Then, chicken breast ham was studied at the $10^6$ CFU inoculation level. The inactivation efficiency was much lower for both strains compared to that on the agar plates. C. jejuni NCTC11168 and ATCC49943 were reduced by 3 Log CFU after a 6 min treatment and by 1.5 Log CFU after a 10 min treatment, respectively. The scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated that C. jejuni cells were deformed or transformed into coccoid form under the plasma treatment. During the plasma treatment, the temperature of the samples did not rise above $43^{\circ}C$, suggesting that heat did not contribute to the inactivation. Meanwhile, water activity significantly decreased after a 10 min treatment (p<0.05). This study conveyed that radio-frequency atmospheric pressure plasma can effectively inactivate C. jejuni with strain-specific variation.

Chicken are considered as the most important source of human infection by Campylobacter jejuni, which primarily arises from contaminated poultry meats. However, the genes expressed in vivo of the interaction between chicken and C. jejuni have not been screened. In this regard, in vivo-induced antigen technology (IVIAT) was applied to identify expressed genes in vivo during interaction between chicken and C. jejuni, a prevalent foodborne pathogen worldwide. Chicken sera were obtained by inoculating C. jejuni NCTC 11168 into Leghorn chickens through oral and intramuscular administration. Pooled chicken sera, adsorbed against in vitro-grown cultures of C. jejuni, were used to screen the inducible expression library of genomic proteins from sequenced C. jejuni NCTC 11168. Finally, 28 unique genes expressed in vivo were successfully identified after secondary and tertiary screenings with IVIAT. The genes were implicated in metabolism, molecular biosynthesis, genetic information processing, transport, regulation and other processes, in addition to Cj0092, with unknown function. Several potential virulence-associated genes were found to be expressed in vivo, including chuA, flgS, cheA, rplA, and Cj0190c. We selected four genes with different functions to compare their expression levels in vivo and in vitro using real-time RT-PCR. The results indicated that these selected genes were significantly upregulated in vivo but not in vitro. In short, the expressed genes in vivo may act as potential virulence-associated genes, the protein encoded by which may be meaningful vaccine candidate antigens for campylobacteriosis. IVIAT provides an important and efficient strategy for understanding the interaction mechanisms between Campylobacter and hosts.

The prevalence of thermophilic Campylobacter (C.) spp. in stray, breeding, and household dogs was 25.2, 12.0, and 8.8%, respectively. C. jejuni and C. upsaliensis were the predominant Campylobacter spp. from household dogs. cdtA, cdtB, and cdtC were detected by PCR in all isolates. Despite the high cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) gene prevalence, only 26 (31%) C. jejuni strains and one (15.3%) C. coli strain showed evidence of CDT production in HEp-2 cell cytotoxicity assays. Virulence-associated genes detected in the C. jejuni and C. coli isolates were cadF, dnaJ, flaA, racR, ciaB, iamA, pldA, virB11, ceuE, and docC. cadF, dnaJ, flaA, and ceuE were found in all C. jejuni and C. coli isolates. When detecting Guillain-Barr$\acute{e}$ syndrome-associated genes (galE, cgtB, and wlaN), galE was identified in all isolates. However, cgtB and wlaN were more prevalent in C. jejuni isolates from humans than those from dogs. Adherence and invasion abilities of the C. jejuni and C. coli strains were tested in INT-407 cells. A considerable correlation (adjusted $R^2$= 0.678) existed between adherence and invasion activities of the Campylobacter spp. isolates.

The cells of Campylobacter jejuni treated with physical or chemical disinfection agents were comparatively examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopies for their morphological features and internal ultrastructures. The normal cells of C. jejuni, showed typical spiral rod shapes. The ribosomes, nucleoids, and other cellular constituents were observed to be distributed evenly throughout the cytoplasm. The cells treated with heat or UV-light were changed to spherical or irregular shapes and their cell envelopes were destroyed to form ghost cells by liberating their cytoplasmic components. The cells treated with chlorine or monochloramine were also changed into irregular round shapes. The chlorinated cells showed very rough surface structures with many blob-like protrusions, while the surface of the monochloramine-treated cells appeared to be relatively smooth.

Campylobacter species are known to the high optimum growth temperature ($42^{\circ}C$) and the cause of enteritis in people. Erythromycin has a curative effect for enteritis caused by the bacteria. However, the rate of erythromycin-resistant bacteria was not well known until recently in Korea. Swine are one of sources of the infection with a Campylobacter species which cause the symptom of a high temperature. In this study, we cultured rectum fecal specimens of 100 pigs in an area of Buan-gun, Jeonbuk Province during July 2009. As a result, the detection rate of C. jejuni and C. coli and the rate of erythromycin-resistant bacteria for the separated Campylobacter species on the condition of high temperature were investigated. The possession or not of hipO and glyA gene and ciprofloxacin-resistant gene gyrA was also reviewed with biochemical characteristics and PCR.

Jeju citrus, which contains an abundance of calcium and vitamin, was used to develop fermented citrus peel extract. A total of seven probiotic strains were applied to tangerine dermis to select the best growing bacteria in citrus peel extracts. B. longum, B. bifidum, and L. mesenteroides were found to grow best in citrus peel extract culture containing glucose, yeast extracts, peptone, and potassium phosphate. Citrus peel extract culture consisting of 1% yeast extract, 5% peptone, and 0.1% phosphate was the best environment for growth of probiotics. The pH, acidity, and viable cell numbers of these fermented extracts were measured. The initial pH level of fermented extracts with nutrients was 5.25 and dropped rapidly to 3.39 after 72 hours of fermentation. The acidity of fermented extracts increased to 4.08 % after 72 hours of fermentation, and the viable cell number in fermented extracts after refrigeration for 2 weeks was $1.3{\times}10^{10}CFU/mL$. The antimicrobial activity of citrus peel fermented extracts against Campylobacter jejuni was determined, and concentrations more than 25,000 ppm showed antimicrobial activity.

캄필로박터 제주니 균(Campylobacter jejuni)은 세균성위장관감염증을 일으키는 수인성식품매개질환의 중요한 원인 균으로 알려져 있다. 2014년부터 2016년까지 경기지역에서 발생된 17번의 식중독에서 캄필로박터 제주니 균에 감염된 430명의 환자와 조리종사자에게서 208건의 균주를 선별하였다. 선별된 균주의 유전적 상관관계와 유전형분포를 확인하기 위하여 PFGE와 multiplex-PCR typing 방법을 사용하여 비교분석 하였다. 47개의 Penner-type으로 구분되는 캄필로박터 제주니 균의 혈청형을 multiplex-PCR typing을 이용하여 35개의 유전형으로 구분할 수 있는 것을 확인하였고 선별된 균주에서 7개의 유전형(HS2, HS4A, HS8, HS15, HS29, HS41, HS53)으로 구분되는 것을 확인하였다. 가장 많은 케이스에서 분리된 유전형은 HS2였고 7건의 식중독케이스에서 확인되었다. PFGE를 통하여 11건의 식중독에서 모두 5개의 그룹으로 분류되었고 그룹간의 유사성은 61.8에서 66.6%였다. 본 연구는 다양한 유전자 분석방법을 통하여 경기도내에서 분리된 캄필로박터 제주니 균의 유전적 다양성을 파악하고 향후 집단발생시 환자의 분리 균주 간의 상관관계 규명하며 캄필로박터 감염증의 발생 및 확산 방지에 필요한 기초자료를 마련하고자 한다.
