  • Strain JW3 was isolated from commercial Swiss cheese products and identified as a bacteriocin producer. Lactococcus lactis JW3 showed a broad spectrum of activity against most of the non-pathogenic and pathogenic microorganisms tested by the modified deferred method. Lacticin JW3 also showed a relatively broad spectrum of activity against non-pathogenic and pathogenic microorganisms as assessed using the spot-on-lawn method. It demonstrated a typical bactericidal mode of inhibition against Leuconostoc mesenteroides KCCM 11324.

  • A study was conducted to determine the safety of feeding processed broiler litter (BL) to beef cattle. The litter was processed by deepstacking, ensiling and composting. The health issues addressed relevant to the safety of feeding litter included pathogenic bacteria, mycotoxins, heavy metals, medicinal drugs and pesticide residues. Exp. 1 evaluated the feed hygiene of processed rice hulls-bedded BL. The presence of pathogenic bacteria in BL was determined before and after deepstacking. A total of 21 BL samples were collected over a 3-year period of commercial and experimental production of BL for beef cattle. Exp. 2 evaluated the safety of meat of cattle fed deepstacked BL. In Exp. 1, there were no pathogenic bacteria, such as coliform, E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, Listeria and Proteus, in deepstacked BL. Levels of heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) and toxic heavy metals (As, Pb, Cd and Hg) were lower than the commercial feed tolerances. Aflatoxin, medicinal drug and pesticide residues were detected at extremely low levels. In Exp. 2, the meat of the BL-fed animals exhibited few differences in all analyzed items from that of the control group, showing safety from pathogenic microorganisms and heavy metals. When BL was withdrawn for 14 days prior to slaughtering the BLfed cattle, no medicinal drug residues were detected in the meat. Pesticides in the tissues of either group of animals were much lower than the tolerances. In conclusion, processed rice hulls-bedded BL and the meat of cattle fed BL were safe from the potential hazards of pathogenic bacteria, heavy metals, aflatoxin, medicinal drugs and pesticide residues.

  • This study was carried out to get basic resources for the industrial use of Lactobacillus bulgaricus SP5. The antibacterial activity of the supernatant obtained from Lactobacillus bulgaricus SP5 was tested against the pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli KCCM 11234, Salmonella enteritidis KCCM 3313, Salmonella enteritidis KCCM 12021, and Salmonella typhimurium KCCM 40253. The supernatant of L. bulgaricus SP5 showed antibacterial activity against tested pathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activity was examined after adjusting pH and heat treatment of supernatant. Heat treatment of supernatant had antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria at all temperature. However, pH changes showed no antibacterial activity. Antibacterial activity of the supernatant was confirmed to be due to organic acids (lactic, acetic, phosphoric, succinic, pyroglutamic, citric, malic, and formic acid).

  • To obtain antimicrobial algae against fish pathogenic bacteria, we screened 80% methanolic extracts of 30 algae using fish pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus sp., Edwardsiella tarda and Vibrio anguillarum. Among them, Corallina officinalis, Dumontia simplex, Gloipeltis furcata, Grateloupia lanceolata and Grateloupia turuturu were effective for growth inhibition of a Gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus sp.. Sargassum thunbergii and Polysiphonia morrowii exhibited significant inhibitory effects against the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, both E. tarda and V. anguillarum. Moreover, antimicrobial activity-guided fractionation for P. morrowii extract yielded significantly active 90% methanolic fraction. This fraction significantly inhibited the growth of E. tarda exhibiting a MIC of 1 mg/ml. In addition, its antimicrobial activity was stable under various pH conditions.

  • The gamma-radiation sensitivity of eight kinds of pathogenic bacteria related to beef was investigated in frozen cells $(-18^{\circ}C)$ with 0.1 M phosphate buffer and inoculated cells in beef. In frozen cells, D10 values of pathogenic bacteria related to beef were $0.07{\sim}0.69$ kGy, and inactivation factors were $2.90{\sim}42.86$ at the radiation doses of $2{\sim}3$ kGy. Beef was inoculated with Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Enterobacter aerogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Aeromonas hydrophila. Inoculated beef samples were packaged in air and irradiated at 0.005 to 3.0 kGy. Ninety percent of the viable pathogenic bacteria in beef was eliminated by doses of $0.1{\sim}0.61$ kGy at room temperature, and the inactivation factors were $3.28{\sim}30.0$ kGy at the radiation doses of $2{\sim}3$ kGy. Therefore, irradiation is considered to be an effective method to control pathogenic bacteria in beef.

  • The goal of this manuscript is to determine seed-borne plant pathogenic bacteria and phytoplasmas among quarantine pests in Korea. Four and two prohibited bacteria and phytoplasmas, respectively, and 35 and 17 restricted bacteria and phytoplasmas, respectively, were assessed whether they are seed-borne or not based on preliminary reports. As results, two species of prohibited bacteria, eighteen species of restricted bacteria, and one species of restricted phytoplasma have been determined as being seed-borne plant pathogenic bacteria. Thus, quarantine fields must account for these lists once inspection has been conducted on imported seeds and also use of these lists can help to reduce the production of new diseases that can spread from infected imported seeds.

  • To isolate probiotic lactic acid bacteria having superior inhibitory activities against animal gastro-intestinal pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella gallinarum, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, 130 strains were initially isolated from the small intestines of Korean native chickens and 7 lactic acid bacteria were finally selected. By using API CHL kit and 16S rRNA sequencing method, the selected lactic acid bacteria were found to be belonged to genus Lactobacillus except BD14 identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus. Especially, Lactobacillus pentosus K34 showed the highest resistancy to both of HCl and bile salt, as well as the highest inhibitory activities against S. gallinarum, S. aureus and E. coli. All the selected strains were sensitive to various antibiotics such as neomycin, erythromycin, cephalosporin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ampicillin, oxytetracycline, but resistant to ciprofloxacin. All the selected strains except BL strain were resistant to colistin and streptomycin, and BD14, BD16, K34 strains were resistant to gentamicin.
