We determined the resistance rates of pathogenic bacteria isolated from cultured olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus to erythromycin (Em), antibiotic typically used in aquaculture and analyzed the genotypes of resistant bacteria using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We isolated and utilized 160 isolates of Streptococcus parauberis, 1 of S. iniae, 66 of Edwardsiella tarda, 56 of Vibrio sp. and 23 of unidentified bacteria from presumed infected olive flounder from Jeju Island from March 2016 to October 2017. Of the 306 isolated strains, Em-resistant strains included 33 of S. parauberis, 39 of E. tarda and 2 of Vibrio sp. We conducted PCR to assess the resistance determination of Em-resistant strains. Five different types of Em-resistance genes were detected in the 74 Em-resistant strains: erm (A), erm (B), erm (C), mef (A) and mef (E); erm (A) and erm (B) were detected in 1 (3%) and 24 (72.7%) S. parauberis isolates, respectively. In E. tarda, erm (B) was detected in five isolates (12.8 %) and no Em-resistance genes were detected in the two Vibrio sp. isolates.

Diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) is a pulmonary disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the bronchioles and chronic infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lungs. Macrolides are effective therapeutic agents for chronic respiratory tract diseases, such as DPB. However, the mechanisms by which macrolides modulate the immune responses in patients with DPB remain unclear. To understand clinical efficacy for the treatment of DPB by macrolides, the effects of erythromycin (EM) on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) by human neutrophils were examined. Pre-treatment with EM significantly decreased the expression of IL-6 and IL-8 transcripts by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human neutrophils. EM also reversed the enhanced survival of human neutrophils by LPS. These data indicate that EM has achieved therapeutic effect for patients with DPB, in part, through decreasing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the survival of neutrophils.

Ninety two strains of Streptococcus pyogenes were isolated from patients with pharyngitis, scarlet fever, skin infection, and invasive streptococcal infections in Seoul, Korea from January to December, 1998. All isolates were epidemiologically characterized by T protein serotype, and serum opacity factor (OF) detection to phenotypes. To analyze the genetic relationship, fifty two isolates including 32 erythromycin-clindamycin (Em-Cm) resistant strains, 20 antimicrobial susceptible strains were attempted to the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). T protein serotype showed 16 kinds in distribution including T12 and T4. Among the total isolates, 40 strains (43.5%) belonged to the T12 serotype and twenty strains (21.7%) to T4 serotype. On the other hand, when infection aspect of S. pyogenes isolates were analysed by T serotype distribution, T12 type was predominant for pharyngitidis which contributed to 21 strains (53%) and for skin infection isolates which contributed to 11 strains (28%), respectively. In case of T4 type, it was the most predominant pharyngitidis isolates which contributed to 8 strains (40%). In T serotype distribution of Em-Cm resistant strains, 27 strains (84%) of the thirty two showed T12 serotype. In minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of Em-Cm resistance isolates, thirty two isolates showed resistant to erythromycin 27 strains (84%), had high MIC of >$128\;{\mu}g/ml$. And also to clindamycin, twenty two strains (69%) had high MIC of >$128\;{\mu}g/ml$. When OF detection of Em-Cm resistance of S. pyogenes isolates were analyzed by T serotype distribution, T12 serotype isolates revealed that all of the isolates except one strain were OF negative. In PFGE profile analysis to Em-Cm resistance isolates, of the twenty seven, Em-Cm resistance of T12 serotype isolates, 26 strains showed identical PFGE profile and all of these isolates revealed that OF negative. Eighty four percent of Em-Cm resistance S. pyogenes isolates had identical phenotype and PFGE profile. These results strongly suggested that the Em-Cm resistant S. pyogenes isolates from Seoul area showed close genetic correlation and PFGE could be available tool for molecular epidemiology.

The pharmacokinetics of erythromycin (EM) after oral administration was studied in the cultured olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, using LC/MS/MS. After single- or multiple-dose administration of EM (50, 100, 200 mg/kg body weight and 50 mg/kg for 5 days) by oral route in olive flounder ($350{\pm}40g$, $22{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$), the concentration in the serum was determined at 1, 3, 6, 9, 24, 72, 120, 168, 264, 360, 504 and 720 h post-dose. The kinetic profile of absorption, distribution and elimination of EM in serum were analyzed fitting to a two-compartment model by WinNonlin program. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), maximum concentration ($C_{max}$), time for maximum concentration ($T_{max}$) following oral administration of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg b.w. and 50 mg for 5 days. EM was $165.3hr^*{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ ($C_{max}$, $34.63{\mu}g/m{\ell}$; $T_{max}$, 1.56 hr), $212.8hr^*{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ ($C_{max}$, $60.38{\mu}g/m{\ell}$; $T_{max}$, 3.99 hr), and $592.37hr^*{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ ($C_{max}$, $63.01{\mu}g/m{\ell}$; $T_{max}$, 4 hr), respectively. The results of this study related to dosage and ${\mu}{\cdot}$withdrawal times could be used for prescription of EM in field for the treatment of bacterial diseases in olive flounder.

목 적 : 상기도 감염의 원인균 중 하나인 A군 연쇄구균에 대한 EM 내성율이 1998년 41.3%였고 이들의 T-혈청형은 T12, T4, T28로 구분된 균주가 EM에 내성을 보이는 경우가 많았다. 매우 높은 비율의 EM 내성 A군 연쇄구균의 비율이 2년 후 어떤 변화를 보이는가를 역학적 동태를 감시할 수 있는 T-단백질 혈청형과 항균제 감수성 검사를 시행하여 상기도 감염의 치료실패율을 감소시키고, 선별적 항균제 사용을 권유하고자 한다. 방 법 : 2000년 1월부터 2000년 12월까지 서울 및 경남지역에서 급성 인두편도염 및 성홍열 증상을 주소로 외래를 방문한 환자들로부터 경부배양검사를 시행하여 얻어진 162례의 A군 연쇄구균 균주를 대상으로 T단백 혈청학 검사와 항균제 감수성 검사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 전체 162균주 중 가장 흔하게 분리된 균주는 T12(27.15%)였으며, 그 다음으로는 T1(25.16%), T4(12.58%) 순서로 분리되었다. 전체 162균주 중 성홍열로 진단된 환아에게서 배양된 균주는 25례로, 이번 조사에서는 경남지역에 국한된 결과이지만 T형 분류는 T12, T1, T4의 순서로 분리되었다. 항생제 감수성 검사에서는 Tetracyclin에 내성을 보이는 균주는 25주로(15.4%) 이중 T12균주가 14주로(56%) 내성균주 중 가장 많은 분포를 보였으며, EM에 내성을 보이는 균주는 23주로(14.2%) 이중 T12균주가 11균주로 가장 높은 내성율을 보이는 균주로 조사되었다. Penicillin, Cefprozil, Vancomycin, Ceftriaxone, Chloramphenicol의 항생제에는 내성을 보이는 균주가 동정되지 않았다. 결 론 : 균이 배양된 지역적 장소가 동일하지는 않지만, 90년대 비교적 낮은 분포를 보였던 T12균주가 98년경부터 증가하는 양상을 보이더니 금번 조사에서도 가장 많이 분리되는 균주로 보고되었고, 또한 T12, T4균주는 항생제에 내성을 보이는 균주로 향후 분자 역학적인 검사로 이 세균의 역학적 토대 및 질병 발생과의 관계를 확인할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료되며, 항생제 선택에 있어서도 상기 내성균주에 대한 고려가 있어야 하겠다. 서울 전체지역과 경남지역의 혈청학 분포가 동일하므로 아마도 우리나라 전지역에서 배양되는 균주도 동일할 것으로 추측할 수도 있을 것이다.
