Since April 2012, doctor fish in the breeding tank and in the quarantine tank in Hanwha Aquaplanet Yeosu Aquarium have been dying, accompanied by diffuse bleeding around the mouth, in the chin, and at the bottom of the abdomen. In this study, the cause of death would be examined through the bacteriological study of doctor fish and the rearing water quality in the aquarium. The water quality and the bacterial counts of the rearing water in the exhibit tank and in the quarantine tank were analyzed once a week, starting from August to November 2014. Water quality was measured based on the following data: temperature was in the range of 24.5~26.8℃, pH at 6.77~7.94, DO at 6.15~8.61 ppm, ammonia at 0~0.93 ppm, nitrite at 0.009~0.075 ppm, and nitrate at 1.1~40.9 ppm. Studies revealed that the differences in these water quality factors were not related to the death of doctor fish. Bacterial counts in the rearing waters of Garra rufa slightly increased to 10³~10⁴ CFU/ml, just before the death of the doctor fish. Twelve strains of bacteria were isolated from the dead fish and rearing waters. The isolates were identified as Aeromonas veronii, Citrobacter freundii, Pseudorhodoferax aquiterrae, Shewanella putrefaciens, and Vibrio anguillarum on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. The most dominant species was C. freundii, which showed medium sensitivity to florfenicol and norfloxacin, and was resistant to amoxacillin, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and trimethoprim. Ten isolates were confirmed to be pathogenic to the doctor fish. Doctor fish infected with C. freundii and S. putrefaciens showed high mortality in the experimental groups. These results indicate that the variation in bacterial numbers in the rearing water was related to the death of doctor fish. C. freundii and S. putrefaciens were directly implicated in causing the death of doctor fish in the aquarium.

양식 농어 치어에 발생하는 포도상구균증의 원인균에 대한 생화학적 성상, 생물학적 성상, 약제 감수성 및 병원성을 검토하였다. 병어의 간, 신장, 비장 및 뇌로부터 원인균을 분리하였으며, 생물학적 생화학적 성상을 조사한 결과 본 균을 Staphylococcus epidermidis로 동정하였다. S. epidermidis에 감염된 농어 치어의 외부 소견은 안구 충혈 및 백탁이 주증상이었고, 해부학적 소견은 뇌출혈, 간울혈, 신장 및 비장의 팽대가 특징적였다. 분리균주는 BHIA, HIA 및 Staphylococcus No. 110에서 잘 발육하였으며, 식염 농도 0~9% (최적 염분 : 1~3%), $10\sim45^{\circ}C$(최적 온도 ; $35\sim40^{\circ}C$) 및 pH 4~10(최적 pH : 8)에서 발육하였다. DNase, coagulase에는 모든 균주가 음성였으며, 용혈성은 양성을 나타내었고, urease 양성, novobiocin 저항성에는 음성을 나타내었다. 모든 균주는 탄수화물 분해시 가스를 생성하지 않았고 혐기적 조건하에서 포도당과 maltose를 분해했다. 호기적 조건하에서 모든 균주는 포도당, galactose, sucrose, maltose 및 dextrin을 분해하였다. $1.7{\times}10^{10}$ viable cells/$m\ell$를 근육 주사한 실험구에서는 모든 접종어에 강한 병원성을 나타내었으나, $1.7{\times}10^4$ viable cells/$m\ell$를 접종한 실험구에서는 약한 병원성이 나타났다. 분리균은 bacitracin, erythromycin, norfloxacin 등에 감수성을 나타냈으나, colistin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid 등에는 내성을 나타냈다. 병어의 병리조직학적 관찰 결과 뇌의 소상 울혈, 간 실질세포의 퇴행성 병변 및 신장 조직에서 뇨세관 상피세포의 분리와 괴사가 나타났다.

This study was carried out to investigate the antibiotic resistance pattern of Listeria spp. and Staphylococcus aureus. A total of 17 (14.8%) L. monocytogenes, 13 (11.3%) L. innocua, 7 (7%) L. welshimeri, and 83 (72.2%) S. aureus were isolated from commercial poultry carcasses in Seoul and Kyonggi province during the period between 2001 and 2003. Antibiotic susceptibility test of all Listeria strains isolated was performed by the disk agar diffusion method. Antibiotics used in the study were as follows; Amikacin (An), Ampicillin (Am), Cephalothin (Cf), Chloramphenicol (C), Ciprofloxacin (Cip), Erythromycin (E), Gentamicin (Gm), Imipenem (Ipm), Kanamycin (K), Minocycline (Mi), Neomycin (N), Norfloxacin (Nor), Ofloxacin (Ofx), Penicillin (P), Streptomycin (S), Tetracycline (Te), Tobramycin (Nn), Trimethoprim (Tmp), Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazloe (Sxt), and Vancomycin (Va). The antibiotic resistance pattern of S. aureus isolates was performed by the disk agar diffusion method. For the latter program, antibiotics used to the study were as follows; Cf, C, Cip, Clindamycin (Cc), E, Gm, Ipm, Nafcillin (Nf), Oxacillin (Ox), P, Te, Sxt, and Va. Of the 17 L. monocytogenes isolates, 94.1% were resistant to Te, 88.2% to Mi, 11.8% to Nor, 11.8% to S, 5.9% to Cip, and 5.9% to C. Of 13 L. innocua, 53.8% were resistant to Te, 23.1% to Mi, 23.1% to S, 7.7% to Cip, and 7.7% to Nor. Of 7 L. welshimeri, 57.1% were resistant to Te, and 14.3% to Am. Of 83 S. aureus, 100% were resistant to Te, 86.7% to Gm, 34.9% to P, 15.7% to Cip, 12% to Cc, 9.6% to E. The multiple antibiotic resistance patterns of L. monocytogenes isolates were observed in Te Mi Cip (5.9%), Te Mi Nor (5.9%), Te Mi (76.5%), and Te Nor (5.9%). Multiple antibiotic resistance was also found in L. innocua isolates. Resistant to Te Mi S Cip Nor was 7.7%, Te Mi S (7.7%), Te Mi (7.7%), and was 7.7% to Te S. Antibiotic resistance patterns for S. aureus isolats were demonstrated to Te Gm P Cip Cc E (6.0%), Te Gm Cip Cc E (3.6%), Te Gm P Cc (1.2%), Te Gm P (15.6%), Te Gm Cip (2.4%), Te P Cip (2.4%), Te Gm Cc (1.2%), Te Gm (56.6%), Te P (9.6%), and to Te Cip (1.2%). The results of this study suggest a high incidence of Lsteria spp. and S. aureus on poultry carcasses. The contaminated poultry carcasses may be a potential vehicle for foodborne infections due to multiple antimicrobial resistant organisms.
