Background: A new, extended long-acting tilmicosin (TLAe) preparation was tested against intramammary ceftiofur (CEF) using a non-inferiority trial model during dry-cow therapy (DCT) in a farm with high bovine population density and deficient hygiene application. Objectives: To evaluate the possibility that TLAe administered parenterally can achieve non-inferiority status compared to CEF administered intramammary for DCT. Methods: Cows were randomly assigned to TLAe (20 mg/kg subcutaneous; n = 53) or CEF (CEF-HCl, 125 mg/quarter; n = 38 cows) treatment groups. California mastitis testing, colony-forming unit assessment (CFU/mL), and number of cases positive for Staphylococcus aureus were quantified before DCT and 7 d after calving. A complete cure was defined as no bacteria isolated; partial cure when CFU/mL ranged from 150 to 700, and cure-failure when CFU/mL was above 700. Results: TLAe and CEF had overall cure rates of 57% and 53% (p > 0.05) and S. aureus cure rates of 77.7% and 25%, respectively (p < 0.05). The pathogens detected at DCT and 7 days after calving were S. aureus (62.71% and 35.55%), Staphylococcus spp. (22.03% and 35.55%), Streptococcus uberis (10.16% and 13.33%), and Escherichia coli (5.08% and 15.55%). Non-inferiority and binary logistic regression analyses revealed a lack of difference in overall efficacies of TLAe and CEF. Apart from S. aureus, S. uberis was the predominant pathogen found in both groups. Conclusions: This study is the first successful report of parenteral DCT showing comparable efficacy as CEF, the gold-standard. The extended long-term pharmacokinetic activity of TLAe explains these results.

The sensitivities of 270 pathogens (124 Streptococci, 118 Staphylococci, 10 Corynebacterium pyogenes and 18 Escherichia coli) isolated from clinical or subclinical cases of bovine mastitis during lactation to 11 antibiotics were determined by the agar plate dilution method. All cultures of Streptococci were inhibited at $1.56{\mu}g/ml$ of ampicillin and 1.56 units/ml of penicillin G. Most of the cultures were inhibited at $3.125{\mu}g/ml$ of leukomycin, but were resistant to kanamycin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin and colistin at concentration of $12.5{\mu}g/ml$. More than 93% of the Staphlococcal cultures were sensitive to kanamycin, leukomycin, ampicillin, tetracycline, ledermycin and minocycline at concentrations of $12.5{\mu}g/ml$ or less, and sensitive to penicillin at concentration of 3.125 units/ml, but for more than 71% of the cultures to chloramphenicol, erythromycin and colistin the concentrations required to inhibit growth were 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ or higher. All 10 cultures of Corynebacterium pyogenes were inhibited by leucomycin, ampicillin and minocycline at concentration of $1.56{\mu}g/ml$ and by penicillin G at concentration of 0.78 units/ml, but all the cultures required at least $400{\mu}g/ml$ or higher of streptomycin, erythromycin and colistin for inhibition. More than 83% of E. coli cultures were sensitive to erythromycin and minocycline at concentration of $12.5{\mu}g/ml$, but resistant to leucomycin and chloramphenicol at concentration of $100{\mu}g/ml$.

항생물질과 부신피질홀몬을 장기간 투여한 7세의 홀스타인종 암소에 있어서 Candida 에 의한 유방의 기회성진균감염율 보고하였다. C. tropicalis는 섭씨 30도의 단순한 해바라기씨 배지에서 반복하여 분리되었다. 이 병원체는 PHOL 기법에 의해 감염된 우유에서 직접 검출되었다. 우유침전물을 그람염색하여 현미경하에서 검사한 결과 Candida spp. 와 일치하는 다수의 효모세포와 균사가 관찰되었다. 실험 실내 약물감수성을 조사한 결과 nystatin에 감수성을 나타내었다. 임상적 및 진균학적 검사결과 nystatin에 의한 유방내 화학요법은 성공적이었다. 수의학에 있어서 C. tropicalis와 기타 기회성진균의 점증하는 중요성이 강조되었다.

Staphylococcus aureus is one of most prevalent intramammary pathogens and have characteristics which are not easily eradicated. Recently, to understand the sources and transmission of S aureus, many studies have focused on the subtyping of field isolate. This study was preformed to investigate the distribution pattern and characteristics of the isolates using phenotyping and genotyping. Samples were collected from milk of each udder, cow bodies (perianal region, vagina, tail, udder skin, sole) and environment (floor, liner, milker's hands, water, towel, insect) from 6 herds located in Kyung-gi province. Forty five strains of S aureus were isolated from 3 dairy herds (A, B, C) and were typed by hemolytic pattern, antibiotic resistant pattern, enterotoxin typing and PCR-based DNA fingerprinting. Slime productivity was also compared by each subtype to examine potential infectiousness. Of 45 strains, 41 were isolated from milk samples and 4 were isolated from liners. No strains isolated in the bodies and environment. Forty five strains isolated were classified as 18 subtypes by phenotyping and genotyping. There was common subtype between A and B herd, but the subtype of C herd showed different pattern. Among predominant subtypes, 60% of S aureus strain isolated from A and B herd showed subtype I and 50% of S aureus strain isolated from C herd belonged to subtype VI and X II. Neither somatic cell count (SCC) nor slime production was significantly different between predominant and minor subtypes. In summary, the study revealed that liners play more important roles in the mode of transmission than environmental sources. Several subtypes can be found in a herd, only a few subtype, however, was largely associated with the majority of infection.

Probiotics colonize the intestines and exert an antibacterial effect on pathogens. Therefore, probiotics could be used as a preventive agent against lethal infections. To isolate probiotic microorganisms, 116 bacterial strains were isolated from healthy cow's milk and were subjected to Gram-stain, morphology and biochemical analyses, Vitek analysis, and 16S rRNA analysis. One of the strains identified as Bacillus (B.) thuringiensis 87 was found to grow very well at pH 4.0~7.0 and to be resistant to high concentrations of bile salts (0.3~0.9% w/v). B. thuringiensis was susceptible to the antibiotics used in the treatment of bovine mastitis, yet it exhibited an antimicrobial effect against Staphylococcus (S.) aureus 305. Moreover, it protected mice from experimental lethal infections of E. coli O55, Salmonella typhimurium 01D, and S. aureus 305 through a significant induction of interferon-${\gamma}$, even at four-week post-administration of B. thuringiensis. Although oral administration of B. thuringiensis 87 did not provide significant protection against these lethal challenges, these results suggest that B. thuringiensis 87 could be a feasible candidate as a probiotic strain.

본 시험은 무궁화과에 속하는 초본 식물인 Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.)를 경상대학교 시험농장에서 2010년 6월 1일 파종하여 같은 해 11월 18일 수확하여 건조 한 후, 꽃 (HCME-F)과 잎 (HCME-L)에서 추출한 메탄올 추출물을 이용하여, 세포 독성 시험 및 주요 병원균에 대한 항균효과를 규명하였다. 항균효과에 사용된 균주는 가축에서 피부 질환, 유방염 및 소화기질병을 유발하는 그람양성균인 St. aureus 와 Str. epidermidis, 그람음성균인 S. typhimurium 과 E. coli 균을 공시균주로 사용하였다. 추출물의 안전성을 평가하기 위해 두 추출물 HCME-F과 HCME-L을 0, 25, 50, 100 및 $200{\mu}g/ml$ 농도로 첨가한 배지에서 RAW 264.7 세포와 24시간 반응 후 세포 독성을 측정해 본 결과, 세포 독성이 인정되지 않았으며, 항균효과 시험결과 그람양성균인 St. aureus와 Str. epidermidis 균에 대하여 1, 50 및 $100{\mu}g/ml$의 추출물 농도 및 반응시간 경과에 따라 항균 효과가 증가되었으나, 그람음성균인 S. typhimurium 과 E. coli 에서는 항균효과가 인정되지 않았다. 종합적으로 Kenaf의 꽃과 잎에서 추출한 메탄올 추출물이 세포에 대한 안전성이 입증되었고, 가축과 사람의 피부 질환 및 유방염의 대표적 그람양성균인 St. aureus와 Str. epidermidis 균에 대한 항균효과를 보여, Kenaf의 꽃과 잎을 이용한 선택적 그람양성균 치료제 및 사료첨가제 개발이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
