This study was carried out to Investigate the biochemical characteristics, antibiotic susceptibility, serogroups and pili producibility test of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli(ETEC) isolated from piglets with diarrhea in Kangwon province from March to October 1996. 1. Sixty eight E coli strains were isolated from 72 piglets with diarrhea and the biochemical and cultural reaction were compared with the classification criteria of Edwards and Ewing. 2. The serogroups of 26 isolates were classified as 08 : K87 6(8.8%), O20 : K1O1 4(5.9%), O141 : K85 4(5.9%), 09 : K103 : P987 3(4.4%), O45 : K 2(2.9%) 0139 : K82 2(2.9%), O64 : $K^{-}$2(2.9%), O149 : K91 1(1.5%), O157 : K88ac 1(1.5%) and O115 : $K^{-}$1(1.5%), respectively. 3. In antibiotic susceptibility test, the isolates showed high susceptible to Ak, Eno, Na, Gm, Am and Km, whereas resistance to Tc, Sm and Cf. 4. Sixty one strains(89.7%) of 68 I coli Isolates were resistant to one or more drugs. The isolates resistant to 2 and 3 or more drugs were 60.3% and 19.1%, respectively. Amog the 16 multiple resistant patterns, Sm Tc(11.5% ), Cf Sm Tc(11.5% ), Cf Cp Sm Su Tc(9.8% ) and Cf Cp Sm Su Tc(8.2%) patterns were frequently observed. 5. MRHA of guinea pig erythrocytes was detected in 9 out of 26 OK serotype and 9 out of 42 unidentified serotypes. MRHA titers of serotypes showed from 16 to 32 in O141 : K85 and no titers in O139 : K82. 6. By the GM1 ganglioside ELISA, $\beta$-, $\alpha$-, and $\gamma$-hemolysin producing strains was detected as 36, 6, and 5 from heat labile enterotoxin(LT) of 47 ETEC, respectively.

The results obtained were as follows. 1. A total of 71 isolates identified as E, coli employing IMViC system from rectal specimens of 54 piglets with diarrhea. 2. In antibiotic sensitivity test, isolates showed high sensitivity to AN, CM, Fox, GM, but resistance to EM, NA TC. 3. The distribution of 25 Isolates of serogroups were 0141:K85(11.3%), 08:K87(8.5%), 064:K (5.6%), 0138:K8l (4.2%), 0139 :K82(2.8%), 0157:K88ac(1.4%) and 0149:K9l (1.4%). 4.

This study was to determine the prevalence of Legionella species in public spas and to know that the presence of Legionella was correlated with other microbiological parameters. A total of 81 water samples were collected from 30 different public spas and sudatoriums so called zzimzilbang in Korea. Although Legionella was not detected in the influent water and the cold tub water, of the 38 samples of hot and warm water taken from public tubs, 11(28.8%) were found to be positive for Legionella spp. All of the isolates were identified as a species L. pneumophila serogroups 1 and 2-14 by latex agglutination. And HPC concentrations in all spas water isolated Legionella were above the level of $10^4\;cfu/ml$.

The present study was conducted to investigate the incidence of pasteurella multocida infection in kyungbuk swine herds during the period from July 1989 to November 1989 and some properties of the isolated organisms. P. multocida was isolated from lungs of 155 slaughtered pigs, 43(27.7%) pigs were culture positive. The majority of biochemical and cultural properties of the P. multocida isolates were identical to those of the standard strains. The capsular serogroups and drug susceptibility of 43 isolates of P. multocida from pigs with pneumonic lesions were investigated. P. multocida isolates were typed for capsular serogroupes A by hyaluronidase inhibition of capsule and D by acriflavin auto agglutination. Most isolates(60.4%) were type A, 18.6% were type D, and the remaining 21.0% were untypable. In antimicrobial susceptibility test these isolates of P. multocida were susceptible in order of ampicillin (86.0%), trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole(83.7%), colistin(81.4%), chloramphenicol(79.1%), but the majority of them were resistant in order of streptomycin(30.2%), triple sulfa (4.6%).

Salmonella infections cause the diseases in poultry and some zoonotic Salmonella can be transmitted to human through poultry products, resulting in food-borne disease. This study was conducted to obtain some useful information for the control of salmonellosis in human. Twenty four Salmonella spp were isolated from poultry carcasses, and they were examined with several methods such as serotyping, antimicrobial resistance test and random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) to identify their characteristics. In serotyping test of 24 strains S enteritidis was 17 (70.8%), followed by S schwarzengrund 3 (12.5%), untyped strain 4 (16.7%). In the results of antimicrobial resistance test, 23 (95.8%) isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent, generating eight different resistance patterns. In RAPD analysis using URP-6 primer to differentiate Salmonella isolates within a serotype, 4 serogroups were divided into 10 RAPD types: 5 types in S enteritidis, 2 types in S schwarzengrund and 3 types in the remainder.

콩의 공중질소이용도(空中窒素利用度) 향상에 바람직한 우수근류균(優秀根瘤菌) 선발(選拔)의 기초자료를 얻고자 우리나라 토착(土着) B. japonicum 의 혈청형별(血淸型別) 콩 공생효과(共生效果)와 그 유의성(有意性)을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 근류균(根瘤菌)의 근류형성정도(根瘤形成程度)는 USDA 123혈청형(血淸型) 균주(菌株)를 접종한 구에서 가장 높고 다음으로 YCK 150혈청형(血淸型) > YCK 117혈청형(血淸型) > YCK 141혈청형(血淸型) > USDA 110 혈청형(血淸型) 순위의 경향이었는데, 콩 품종별(品種別) 혈청형(血淸型)에 따라서 상이하였다. 2. 콩 건물생산(乾物生産)에 있어서 근류균(根瘤菌) 접종효과(接種效果)는 콩 품종별로 상이하였으나 평균적으로 볼 때, USDA 110혈청형(血淸型)과 YCK 141혈청형(血淸型) 균주(菌株)의 접종구에서 우수하였고 USDA 123 혈청형(血淸型) 균주(菌株)의 접종구(接種區)에서는 저조하였다. 그리고 균주접종(菌株接種)에 따른 건물생산량(乾物生産量)이 가장 높았던 콩은 방사(放射)콩이었다. 3. 혈청형내(血淸型內) 균주(菌株)들의 공생효과(共生效果) 유사성(類似性)(n=20)은 근류수에서 100%, 질소고정력에서 90%, 콩 건물중에서 80% 수준(水準)이었으며, 균주(菌株)의 공생관계(共生關係) 변이분석(變異分析)에서는 또 각 혈청형간(血淸型間), 콩 품종간(品種間)에 근류수와 근류무게, 질소고정력, 콩 건물중 모두 고도(高度)의 유의성(有意性)($$P{\leq_-}0.01$$)을 보였다. 그러므로 B. japonicum 의 면역혈청학적(免疫血淸學的) 특성은 콩의 공중질소이용도(空中窒素利用度) 개선연구(改善硏究)에 이용가치가 높은 것으로 판단되었다.

다양한 환경에서 분리된 시가독소 생산성 대장균(Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, STEC, n=18)을 초산혼합용액(AAS;400 mM, pH 3.2, $30^{\circ}C$)에 노출한 후 산 저항성을 측정하였다. 또한, 선정된 4종류의 non-O157:H7 STEC균을 사과주스, 파인애플주스, 오렌지주스, 딸기주스(pH 3.8)에 정봉하여 $4^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 산 적응시킨 후 위합성용액(SGF, pH 1.5)에서 2시간 동안 생존능력을 평가하였다. Non-O157:H7 STEC를 AAS에 노출했을 때 O111 혈청형의 STEC는 평균 0.12 log CFU/mL 감소하여 다른 혈청형에 비하여 가장 강한 산 저항성을 나타냈고 O157:H7 STEC와 유의적 차이가 없었으며(P>0.05), O26 혈청형의 STEC는 가장 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 반면, AAS에 glutamic acid를 첨가하였을 경우 모든 STEC는 혈청형과 관계없이 초산에 매우 강한 저항성을 나타내었다(P>0.05). SGF에서 생존능력을 측정한 결과, 06E0218(O157:H7)은 다른 non-O157:H7 STEC 균들보다 생존능력이 낮았고 03-4669(O145:NM)가 가장 강한 생존능력을 나타내었다. 한편, 과일주스 중에서는 파인애플주스에 산 적응된 STEC가 SGF에 가장 강한 생존능력을 나타내었다. $4^{\circ}C$의 과일주스에 STEC를 산 적응시켰을 경우 $20^{\circ}C$보다 SGF에 대한 생존능력이 현저하게 높았다(P<0.05). 따라서 과일주스에 의한 non-O157:H7 STEC의 산 적응력 증가는 위장관 내 생존율 및 식중독 발생을 높일 수 있으므로 이에 대한 적절한 연구와 안전관리 옵션을 제공할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Meningococcal Disease, manifesting as meningitis and septicemia, is a life-threatening bacterial infection that results in significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in childhood. Its epidemic potential and limited opportunities for clinical intervention due to its rapid course present unique public health and clinical challenges. Incidence is highest in infants and young children, with a secondary peak of risk in adolescents. Approximately 10% of cases are fatal and survivors can be left with serious and permanent sequelae including amputations, hearing loss and cognitive impairment. Transmission is only from human-to-human, by infected respiratory tract secretions or saliva and therefore crowding poses a tremendously elevated risk for disease development. Military recruits and university students are at high risk due to the high carriage rate in adolescents, their behavior patterns and close contact. Menveo$^{(R)}$ (Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics), a novel quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine directed against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W-135 and Y, has been shown to be immunogenic and well tolerated in all age groups and was recently licensed for use in Korea. Recent cases and deaths among military recruits drew public attention to their elevated risk and the Korean government has recommended vaccination of all new military recruits. Many Korean students seek to attend school, university, or language institutes in countries where routine meningococcal vaccination is required - clinicians should be aware of such requirements to ensure that students are vaccinated prior to arrival in the destination country.
