Chemicals including antibiotics and bactericides were screened for suppression of streptomycin-resistant Erwinia cmutouom subsp. cmutovom (Ecc) strains in laboratory and field conditions. Oxytetracycline, ethoquinolac and dichlorophen suppressed the growth of streptomycin-resistant Ecc strains in vitro. Fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices of oxytetracycline and ethoquinolac mixed with streptomycin against the Ecc strains were equal to and less than one, respectively. Consequently the efficacy of those chemicals in mixture with sorptomycin were non-antagonistic But that of dichlorophen mixed with streptomycin was more than one, therefore the efficacy of the mixture was antagonistic. Spray of oxyteoucycline, ethoquinolac and agrimycin-100 on the topped burley tobacco plants was efficacious in reducing tobacco hollow stalk at the same level of sorptomycin treatment in three-year field trials, which suggests that those are promising chemicals to be alternative to streptomycin for control of tobacco hollow stalk.

밤나무에 두가지 방법으로 oxytetracycline(OTC)을 수간주입 한 다음 주입구멍 주변의 변화를 조사하였다. 주입구멍은 지름 1cm와 0.5cm를 비교하였고, 수간주입은 9월에 실시하였다. 수간주입한 나무는 흉고직경 10, 15, 20cm이었다 모든 공시목들은 외견상 왕성한 수세를 유지하고 있었다. 이듬해 7월의 결과조사에서, 외간상 부후의 징후가 보이는 나무는 없었다. 하지만, 수피를 벗겨보면 목재부분에서는 뚜렷한 변색이 일어나고 있었다. 변색의 정도는 주입방법에 따른 수간주입구멍의 크기에 따라 매우 민감한 변화를 보여, 1cm 주입구멍에서의 변색부가 0.5cm 주입구멍에서의 변색부보다 더 컸다. 일부 공시목에서 주입구멍을 기점으로 하여 목부가 길이방향으로 갈라져 있는 현상이 나타났는데, 그 길이는 0.5cm 주입구멍에서보다는 1cm주입구멍에서 더 길었다. 갈라진 부분에서는 새조직이 자라나와 갈라진 부분을 메워가고 있었다. 수간주입이 나무에 미치는 피해는 주입구멍의 크기가 0.5cm일 때보다는 1cm일 때 더 컸다.

항생제 사용의 증가와 무분별한 사용으로 인한 항생제 오남용은 항생제 내성균 증가와 더불어 미생물 종의 변화 및 수질환경에 독성물질로써 작용할 수 있다. 특히 항생제는 생물학적 폐수처리 공정에서 미생물에 의한 하 폐수 처리의 효율성 문제를 가져올 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 축산업에서 가장 많이 사용되는 항생제로 조사된 Oxytetracycline(OTC) 항생제가 축산폐수의 생물학적 처리과정에서 질산화와 유기물 제거효율에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 항생제가 축산폐수의 처리효율에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해서 회분식 시험과 $A_2/O$(Anoxic-Anoxic-Oxic) 시스템을 이용하였다. 향후 항생제를 다량 함유하고 있는 축산폐수를 처리할 수 있는 축산폐수처리시스템에 대해서 연구하고자 한다.

In an effort to discover alternative phytotherapeutic antimicrobial agents to combat Streptococcus parauberis, a fish pathogenic bacterium, we evaluated the antibacterial activity of seaweed extracts in vitro. A methanolic extract of Ecklonia cava exhibited strong antibacterial activity against S. parauberis isolated from olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. Furthermore, the n-hexane soluble (Hexane) fraction of the E. cava methanolic extract exhibited the greatest antibacterial effect on S. parauberis strains with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 256 to $1,024{\mu}g/mL$. In addition, the MIC values of oxytetracycline against antibiotic-resistant S. parauberis were markedly reduced up to 64-fold in combination with the Hexane fraction, suggesting that the antibacterial activity of the antibiotic was restored when combined with the Hexane fraction. The interaction between both antibiotics and the Hexane fraction was assessed by the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index. The Hexane fraction and oxytetracycline combination against antibiotic-resistant S. parauberis strains resulted in a median ${\sum}FIC$ range of 0.502 to 0.516. Thus, the synergistic ranges of median ${\sum}FIC$ < 1 were observed for all combinations of the Hexane fraction and oxytetracycline against S. parauberis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report indicating the efficacy of an E. cava extract against fish pathogenic bacterium S. parauberis.

Bocillus subtilis를 유전공학의 숙주 세포로서 이용하기 위해서는 우선 적당한 vector의 개발이 요구된다. Oxytetracycline의 항생물질을 생산하는 방사선균인 Streptomyces rimosuf IFO 0014로 부터 oxytetracycline-resistant plasmid DNA를 pH 9.0의 phenol-buffer system으로 추출하여 B.subtilis KPM 60[St $r^{R}$-mutant of RM 125 (leu A8, arg 15, hsr $M^{-}$, hsm $M^{-}$)] 1균주에 형질전환시키면서 이 plasmid DNA가 표현되게 하였다. 이때 형질전환의 조건으로서 KPM60을 growth medium에서 3시간, competence medium에서는 30분내지 60분간 그리고 DNA와는 20분동안 접촉시킴으로서 가장 높은 빈도로 형질전환이 일어났다. (대개 $10^{-4}$ 빈도 이상) 또 recipient cell의 competence화에는 oH7.5에서 그리고 형질전환에는 2$0^{\circ}C$에서 최적상태를 보였다.

Background: Antibiotics are widely used to treat animals from infections. After fertilizing, antibacterials can remain in the soil while adversely affecting the soil microorganisms. The concentration of oxytetracycline (OTC) in the soil and its effect on the soil microbial community was assessed. To assess the impact of OTC on the soil microbial community, it was added to the soil at concentrations of 50, 150, and 300 mg kg^-1 and incubated for 35 days. Results: The concentration of OTC added to the soil decreased from 150 to 7.6 mg kg^-1 during 30 days of incubation, as revealed by LC-MS. The deviations from the control values in the level of substrate-induced respiration on the 5th day of the experiment were, on average, 26, 68, and 90%, with OTC concentrations at 50, 150, and 300 mg kg^-1, respectively. In samples with 150 and 300 mg kg^-1 of OTC, the number of bacteria from the 3rd to 14th day was 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than in the control. The addition of OTC did not affect the fungal counts in samples except on the 7th and 14th days for the 150 and 300 mg kg^-1 contaminated samples. Genes tet(M) and tet(X) were found in samples containing 50, 150, and 300 mg kg^-1 OTC, with no significant differences in the number of copies of tet(M) and tet(X) genes from the OTC concentration. Conclusions: Our results showed that even after a decrease in antibiotic availability, its influence on the soil microbial community remains.

The degradation of aqueous oxytetracycline (OTC) from an aqueous solution antibiotic using H₂O₂/Fe²⁺ process was studied in one 1 L batch chemical reactor. The extent of OTC degradation (20 mg/L) was investigated from a known initial pH solution, temperature and the type of catalyst (Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺) and for various initial concentrations of OTC, H₂O₂ and Fe²⁺. The degradation efficiency achieved was found to be very important (90.82% and 90.63%) at initial pH solution of 3 and 4, respectively. However, the type of catalyst and the reaction temperature had a slight impact on the final degradation of OTC. The results showed that the OTC removal increased with increasing initial H₂O₂ concentration in the range of 70 to 150 mg/L and initial Fe²⁺ concentrations in the range of 2 to 5 mg/L. The highest degradation efficiency obtained at ambient temperature was 90.95% with initial concentration of OTC of 10 mg/L, H₂O₂ = 150 mg/L and Fe²⁺ = 5 mg/L. Moreover, biodegradability improved from 0.04 to 0.36 and chemical oxygen demand degradation was 78.35% after 60 min of treatment. This study proved that Fenton process can be used for pretreatment of wastewater contaminated by OTC before a biological treatment.

Oxytetracycline (OTC) has been widely used in eel culture as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent because of its broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive and -negative bacteria. The oral treatment dosage of OTC approved for the treatment of edwardsiellosis, furunculosis and vibriosis in eel is 50 mg/kg/day for 3-7 days in Korea. To determine new optimum dose of OTC in eel, the pharmacokinetics of OTC after single oral administration (100 mg/kg B.W., 200 mg/kg B.W.) in cultured eel, Anguilla japonica was examined. In oral dosage of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight, the highest plasma concentrations of OTC were 1.19±0.42 ㎍/㎖ and 2.69±0.57 ㎍/㎖, respectively. Plasma concentrations of OTC were not detected after 720 h post-dose in all experiments. The kinetic profile of absorption, distribution and elimination of OTC in plasma wwas calculated fitting to a 1- and 2-compartment model by WinNonlin program. The following parameters were obtained for a single dosage of 100 and 200 mg/kg respectively: 1-compartment model, AUC= 82.48 and 432.68 ㎍*h/㎖, Tmax= 3.93 and 14.24 hr, Cmax= 0.94 and 2.34 ㎕/㎖; 2-compartment model, AUC= 448.73 and 530.65 ㎍*h/㎖, Tmax= 6.37 and 8.96 hr, Cmax= 0.90 and 3.21 ㎕/㎖.

The pharmacokinetic properties of oxytetracycline (OTC) were studied after dipping and oral administration to cultured olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus (600 g). Plasma concentrations of OTC were determined after oral dosage (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight) and dipping (50, 100 and 200 ppm, 1 h) in olive flounder (average 600 g, 23±1℃). Plasma samples were taken at 3, 5, 10, 15, 24, 32, 48, 72, 120, 168 and 240 h post-dose. In oral dosage of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg, the peak plasma concentrations of OTC, which attained at 3 h post-dose, were 0.34, 0.44 and 1.18 ㎍/㎖, respectively. In dipping of 50, 100 and 200 ppm, those of OTC which also observed at 5 h post-dose, were 0.43, 0.38 and 0.64 ㎍/㎖, respectively. Plasma concentrations of OTC were not measurable at 240 h post-dose in all experiments. The kinetic profile of absorption, distribution and elimination of OTC in plasma were analyzed fitting to a one-compartment model by WinNonlin program. The following parameters were calculated for a single dosage of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight, respectively: AUC (the area under the concentration-time curve)=31.40, 28.07 and 32.97 ㎍∙h/㎖; T1/2 (half-life)􀆫0.89, 1.12 and 0.43 h; Tmax (time for maximum concentration)= 5.25, 3.70 and 7.30 h, Cmax (maximum concentration)=0.25, 0.38 and 0.61 ㎕/㎖. Following dipping at 50, 100 and 200 ppm, these parameters were AUC􀆫15.51, 14.63 and 19.72 ㎍∙h/㎖; T1/2= 0.75, 0.41 and 0.74 h; Tmax=4.90, 7.08 and 4.68 h, Cmax=0.40, 0.32 and 0.46 ㎕/㎖.
