Staphylococcus aureus KH13 and Staphylococcus aureus KH28 were resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin, tobramycin, and norfloxacin. A plasmid (pKH13) and two plasmids (pKH14, pKH15) were isolated from Staphylococcus aureus KH13 and Staphylococcus aureus KH28, respectively and complete nucleotide sequences of three plasmids were determined. It was found that pKH13 and pKH15 mediated chloramphenicol resistance and pKH14 was a cryptic plasmid.

Structure-activity relationship of 20 fluoroquinolones was studied using the susceptible and 4 resistant Escherichia coli which were developed against 4 fluoroquinolones [ciprofloxacin (1), KR-10755 (6), norfloxacin (2), and ofloxacin (3)] in our laboratory. The C-7 and C-8 substituents of fluoroquinolone were important in various functions such as the inhibitory activity on DNA gyrase, permeability, and efflux. Among 20 fluoroquinolones, compounds with a 3-methyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-1(5)-ene-7-yl substituent at the C-7 position or a chlorine substituent at the C-8 position showed a good inhibitory activity on DNA gyrase (especially a mutated DNA gyrase). Compounds with a 3,7-diazabicyclo [3.3.0]octan-1(5)-ene-7-yl substituent at the C-7 position showed good permeability in the susceptible and resistant strains, while compounds with a fluorine substituent at the C-8 position were less eff luxed from cells.

Total 70 isolates of Escherichia coli obtained from pigs were studied. Forty four isolates had $\textregistered$-hemolytic activity which was heat labile. Minimum inhibitory concentration test indicated that 40 isolates (57.1%), 15 isolates (21.4%), 23 isolates (32.9%), and 5 isolates (7.1%) were resistant to ampicillin, cephalothin, gentamicin, and norfloxacin, respectively. None of them were extended spectrum $\textregistered$-lactamases (ESBLs) producer when the double disk synergy test (DDST) was performed.

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.

To investigate natural antibiotics from plant essential oils and to evaluate their synergism with current antimicrobial drugs in inhibiting antibiotic-resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of eleven plant essential oils and their main components were established for two antibiotic-susceptible and two antibiotic-resistant strains of S. pneumoniae, using broth microdilution tests. Potential synergism with oxacillin, norfloxacin, or erythromycin was evaluated using a checkerboard microtitre assay. Among the tested oils, Mentha piperita oil and its main component, menthol, exhibited the strongest inhibitory activities against all of the tested strains. The activity of antibiotics against antibiotic-resistant strains of S. pneumoniae was enhanced significantly by combination with Mentha piperita oils and its main component, menthol. In conclusion, the combination Mentha piperita essential oil or menthol with antibiotics could be used to reduce the effective dose of antibiotic and to modulate the resistance of S. pneumoniae strains.

The present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence, biochemical properties and serotypes of Salmonella organisms in the domestic animals in Western Gyeongbuk province during the period from January to December 2000. Salmonella spp were isolated from 51(1.62%) of 3,141 cases of domestic animals. Serotypes of isolates were S enteritidis 17(29.6% of isolates), S agona 11(20.3%), S rissen 8(14.8%), S gallinarum 4(7.4%), S derby 3(5.5%), S typhimurium 2(3.7%), S travis 1(1.8%), S montevideo 1(1.8%) and untypable 4(12.9%), in order. The majority of isolates were highly susceptible to amikacin, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, norfloxacin and gentamicin, whereas all isolates were resistant to bacitracin, erythromycin, tiamulin and tylosin, and the majority of them were highly resistant to penicillin, streptomycin and tetracycline.

목적: 개시제와 교차결합제의 농도에 따른 소프트콘택트렌즈의 재질을 변화시켜서 재질변화에 대한 물리적 특성 및 약물의 용출량 및 속도를 비교하였다. 방법: HEMA에 개시제인 AIBN과 교차결합제인 EGDMA의 농도을 변화시켜서 콘택트렌즈를 제작하였다. 항균물질인 노플록사신(norfloxacin)은 고분자 중합 시 0.1% 농도로 단량체와 함께 혼합하였다. 재질변화에 따른 물리적 성질 변화를 확인하기 위해 약물용출 농도, 함수율, 굴절률, 단백질 흡착량 등에 대한 실험을 통하여 비교하였으며, 통계분석을 통해 유의성을 확인하였다. 결과: 개시제의 농도을 변화 시킨 콘택트렌즈는 함수율의 변화가 거의 없으며, 굴절률의 값에도 별 변화가 없었다. 교차결합제 농도이 증가하면 함수율이 낮아지고 굴절률이 높아졌다. 약물용출의 농도를 살펴보면 개시제의 변화에 의해서는 많은 변화를 보이지 않았으며, 함수율이 높을수록 용출되는 농도가 증가하였다. 단백질 흡착양은 개시제에 의한 변화는 거의 없었으며 함수율이 낮을수록 흡착되는 양이 증가하였다. 결론: 개시제의 농도에 대한 변화는 특성 변화에 영향력이 거의 없었으며, 교차결합제 농도에 따라서는 많은 변화를 보였다. 교차결합제의 농도가 증가할수록 함수율은 감소하며 굴절률은 증가하였다. 또한 함수율의 증가에 따라 약물이 많이 용출되었으며 단백질의 흡착량은 감소되었다.

Survey on MIC of antimicrobial drugs and its treatment efficacy in mice were conducted for the strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp isolated from feces of young domestic animals with diarrhea in 1996. A total of 338 strains of E coli and 61 strains of Salmonella spp were examined for the susceptibility to 20 antibiotics and 7 synthetic antimicrobial drugs. The results indicated that the majority of strains were susceptible to amikacin(93.5%), cefoperazone/sulbactam(93.5%), cefotaxim(93.3%), cefomandole(92.8%), cefoperazone(91.6%) and ciprofloxacin(85.1%), in order. Although gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin showed the relatively low MIC distributions, erythromycin, doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole and oxytetracycline revealed the high MIC distributions to most of isolates. The $MIC_{90}$ of antimicrobials for E coli were > $62.5{\mu}g/ml$ in gentamicin, $2.0{\mu}g/ml$ in ciprofloxacin, $1.0{\mu}g/ml$ in norfloxacin, > $500{\mu}g/ml$ in erythromycin, $125{\mu}g/ml$ in doxycycline, > $1000{\mu}g/ml$ in sulfamethoxazole and > $250{\mu}/ml$ in oxytetracycline. In general, the MIC of E coli isolates was higher than that of Salmonella spp isolates. Although variation in synergism or additivity of antibiotic combinations were demonstrated, ampicillin-gentamicin was the most efficacious combination both against E coli and Salmonella spp with the fluctuation of 7.7-77.5%. In the experiment of treatment efficacy in mice, the highest survival ratio(83.3%) after challenge with pathogenic E coli and Salmonella typhimurium was detected in the group treated with gentamicin.

볼락은 산업적 잠재가치가 높은 어종으로 각광받으면서 양식 가능성에 대한 연구가 일부 진행되어 왔으나, 장내세균에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이었다. 본 연구에서는 전남 돌산도 연안에서 채집된 자연산 볼락과 양식산 볼락의 장내세균총의 분포와 이들 세균들의 약제 감수성에 대하여 조사하였다. 두 분류의 볼락에서 분리된 균주의 16S rDNA 염기를 바탕으로 장내세균을 동정한 결과, 양식산 볼락의 장내에서는 Photobacterium group, Acinetobacter group과 marine sediment bacteria group이 우점하고 있었고, 자연산 볼락의 장내에서는 Photobacterium group Acinetobacter group, Bacillus group, Shewanella group, Staphylococcus group 및 marine sediment bacteria group이 우점하고 있었다. 자연산과 양식산 볼락의 장내세균의 약제 감수성 결과로는 본 연구에서 사용된 9종의 항균제 중 oxytetracycline와 oxolinic acid는 자연산과 양식산이 비슷한 수준의 감수성 나타냈으나, flumequine, erythromycin, norfloxacin, gentamycin, ofloxacin, enrofloxacin 및 ciprofloxacin은 평균 저지대에서 양식산 볼락의 장내세균이 자연산 볼락의 장내세균 보다 약간 낮은 감수성을 보였으나, 자연산 볼락의 장내세균 또한 감수성 시험 대조균주로 사용한 E. coli ATCC9637 보다 현저하게 낮은 감수성을 보였다. 이는 양식현장에서 사용되고 있는 항균물질이 자연 서식 어류생물군의 장내 세균에도 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구는 들깻잎과 들깻잎 생산환경을 대상으로 31개의 시료를 채취하여 S. aureus 를 분리 하였다. 분리된 S. aureus 31주의 toxicity를 평가하고자 독소유전자와 항생제 내성을 검색하였다. 그 결과 분리된 균주에서 4개의 서로 다른 독소유전자 패턴은 확인하였으며 sea와 sed유전자를 동시에 보유하는 균주는 4균주 (12.9%)였고, sed 유전자를 보유하는 균주는 9균주 (29.0%)였으며 see 유전자를 보유하는 균주는 1균주 (3.2%)였다. 한편 seb와 sec 유전자를 보유하는 균주는 없었다. 항생제 내성평가결과, 12제의 항생제(penicillin, ampicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cefazolin, cephalothin, imipenem, gentamicin, tetracycline, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and erythromycin)에 내성을 보인 균주는 7균주 (22.6%)였다. 또한 분리된 균주의 2균주 (2.6%)는 5제의 항생제(penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, gentamycin, and telithromycin)에 내성을 보였고 MRSA (Methicilline Resistant Staphylococcus aureus)는 포장지, 장갑, 들깻잎에서 발견되었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 들깻잎에 오염된 S. aureus에 의하여 독소형 식중독이 발생할 가능성을 시사하며 들깻잎과 생산 환경에서 항생제 저항성 S. aureus가 검출되어 의약계뿐만 아니라 농업현장에서도 항생제내성균주 출현을 예방하는 대책이 요구된다.
