Raw milk samples, and cow and chicken intestines were tested to isolate vancomycin-resistant, gram-positive bacteria. From these samples, we isolated seven vancomycin-resistant Streptococcus equinus, two vancomycin-resistant viridans Streptococcus and two vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. The MICs of several antibiotics, including vancomycin, against these strains were tested. Seven isolates of S. equinus showed high level resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin (＞100 $\mu$ g/mL). The cell wall thickness of these strains was compared with that of the sensitive strain by TEM and no differences were obserbed between these strains. We compared the strains of vancomycin-resistant Streptococcus equinus using PCR with Microbial Uniprimer Kit. We concluded that it is necessary to combine other methods in order to cluster and identify all isolates of S. equinus.

This experiment was performed to investigate effects of zinc containing solution on the major normal flora Staphylococccus aureus, Streptococus mutans and Candida albicans and to observe the variation according to anionic change and concentration difference. Zinc chloride, zinc iodide and zinc acetate solution were added to werially diluted broth culture so that each final concentration might be 0.25%, 0.5%. 1%. After that, 100ul of each aliquot was spreaded on each selective media plate( Mannitol Salts Agar plate for Staphylococcus aureus, Mitis Salivarius Agar plate for Streptococcus mutans and Sabouraud Destrose Agar plate for Candida albicans). The % killing was calculated bu CFU count after incubation under the appropriate condition. 1. zinc iodide, zinc chloride, and zinc acetate solutions showed inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. 2. The inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus were ranked in order of ainc iodide, zinc chloride and zinc actate. 3. The inhibitory effects on Streptococcus mutans were ranked in orfer of zinc iodide, zinc chloride and zinc acetate. 4. the inhibitory effects on Candida albicans showed no difference among zinc iodide, zinc chloride and zinc acetate. 5. The inhibitory effects of zinc chloride and zinc acetate on Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutnas showed increasing pattern as the concentration increase. But the inhibitory effects of zinc iodide on Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans showed no apparent difference according to concentrations and it was the case with the inhibitory effects of zinc iodide, zinc chloride and zinc acetate on Candida albicans.

2004년부터 2005년까지 제주도에서 전형적인 연쇄구균증상을 나타내는 양식넙치로부터 Streptococcus sp.를 분리하였다. 생화학적 성상 조사와 multiplex PCR assay법을 통해 S. iniae 94 균주를 동정하였다. RAPD fingerprint profile을 조사해 본 결과 A, B, C-type 총 3가지의 genotype을 확인하였으며, 동일종에 대해 외국에서 보고된 선행 연구결과와 비교하였을 경우, 지리적으로 다른 유전적 다형현상을 나타내는 것으로 추정되었다. 근래에 제주도에 우점하는 genotype은 A-type이었고, RAPD fingerprint profile은 약 2,000 bp, 1,300 bp, 1,000 bp, 850 bp, 550 bp의 밴드 양상을 나타내었다. S. iniae의 serotype 동정에 유효한 것으로 보고되어진 P14 random primer는 유전적 다형현상에 의해 제주도에서 분리된 S. iniae의 serotype 동정에 적합하지 않은 것으로 판단되었다.

어병 세균에 대해 쑥(Artemisia princeps var. orientalis) 추출물인 정유의 항균성을 조사하였다. Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas salmonicida, Aeromonas sorbia, Edwardsiella tarda 와 Streptococcus sp. (yellowtail)는 1,000~2,000 ppm 에서 증식이 억제되었다. 즉 억제 농도는 A.salmonicida 가 1,000 ppm A.hydrophila, A. sorbia, E. tarda 와 Streptococcus sp. (yellowtail)는 1,500 ppm 이었다. 그러나 Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio ordalii, Edwardsiella ictaluri와 Streptococcus sp. (SF-1)는 100~2,000 ppm 농도에서 현저한 억제 효과는 없었다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the growth-inhibiting effect of sodium fluoride and stannous fluoride on a cariogenic strain of Streptococcus mutans exposed to the different concentration of $SnF_2$ and NaF The result were as follows: 1. The growth rate of the Streptococcus mutans was unaffected by 75 ppmF, slowed by 150 ppmF, and immediately arrested by 300 or 600 ppmF where increments of NaF were added to actively growing 12-hour broth culture. 2. $SnF_2$ slowed the growth rate at 75 ppmF, was to bactericidal initially at 150 and 300 ppmF, and was to totally bactercidal at 600 ppmF. 3. $SnF_2$ has been shown to be more effective than NaF in inhibiting the growth activity of Streptococcus mutans. 4. The inhibitory effect of fluoride compounds on the growth of Streptococcus mutans was increased in the decreased pH at concentration of 600 ppmF.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the antibacterial effect of Streptococcus mutans of tea tree ingredient. Methods: The experimental groups were each given with different concentrations (30 or 50 vol%) of tea tree prepared in saline solution. The control group applied only saline solution. The tea tree coating of the specimen were examined under a scanning electron microscope. For the antibacterial activity test of the tea tree, the contact angle of the tea tree- coated specimen's surface was analyzed. The antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans was determined by counting the colony forming units (CFU). The statical statics were evaluated by using one-way ANOVA and paired t-test. Results: The tea tree treated group of hydrophilic more than non treated group. Antibacterial experiments demonstrated that tee tree solution was effective against Streptococcus mutans. However there was no significant difference in depending solution concentration groups. Conclusions: The antimicrobial activity of the tea tree containing solution showed its potential for use as coating for denture and medical materials.

Lactobacillus helveticus YM-1 과 Streptococcus thermophilus CH-1을 환원탈지유 배지에 접종하여 생육특성 및 배양조건을 검토한 결과 두 균은 전형적인 공생을 나타냈으며 혼합배양시 최적 pH와 온도는 각각 6.5와 4$0^{\circ}C$였다. 또한 두 균 사이에는 단백질 분해력의 차이가 현저하였고 L.helveticus의 배양여액에는 S. thermophilus의 생육을 촉진시키는 물질이 함유되어 있음을 관찰하였다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and/or Sterptococcus thermophilus on the fermentation of yoghurt containing 5% (w/v) buckwheat sprouts. The results revealed that after 12 hours of fermentation the appropriate pH, titratable acidity and number of viable cells were attained. At that time, the rutin content of the buckwheat sprout-added yoghurt prepared by the mixed culture method was not changed, but the quercetin content increased greatly. Conversely, the rutin content of yoghurt that only contained Streptococcus thermophilus was decreased while the quercetin content was increased. The total phenol contents as well as the DPPH radical scavenging activities of both the mixed culture and Streptococcus thermophilus yoghurt did not differ significantly. Taken together, the results revealed that the use of a mixed culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus during the preparation of buchwheat sprout-added yoghurt was desirable due to the decrease in pH and increase in titratable acidity and viable cells that occurred after 12 hr of fermentation. Moreover, phytochemicals in buckwheat sprouts such as rutin, quercetin and phenol compounds were comparatively increased during fermentation and influenced the antioxidant activity in buckwheat sprout-added yoghurt.

가루녹차 첨가 드링크 요구르트에 오염된 충치 원인균인 Streptococcus mutans의 생육에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 가루녹차가 식중독 유발균과 충치 원인균에 대한 생육 저해 도를 검토한 결과 Staphylococcus aureus와 Salmonella entetitidis의 경우 가루녹차 첨가에 의해 생육에 큰 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 한편 Escherichia coli O157:H7는 가루녹차 첨가 농도가 증가할수록 생육 억제 현상도 약간 높아지며 증식이 약간 억제되어 가루녹차 무첨가구에 비해 가루녹차 $0.5\%,\;1.0\%,\;1.5\%,\;2.0\%$와 $2.5\%$ 첨가구에서 24시간 배양 후 각각 0.40, 0.43, 0.46, 0.52와 0.54의 log cycle로 감소되었고, Streptococcus mutans의 경우에는 각각 0.56, 0.65, 0.70, 0.81과 0.99의 log cycle로 감소 폭이 커지면서 뚜렷한 성장 억제 효과를 보였다. 가루녹차를 $0.5\%,\;1.0\%,\;1.5\%,\;2.0\%$와 $2.5\%$ 첨가한 드링크 요구르트내에서 $3.4\times10^7CFU/mL$ 수준으로 접종된 Streptococcus mutans는 24시간 배양시 $9.8\times10^5\~2.0\times10^6 CFU/mL$로 감소되었으며, 48시간 배양 후에는 $1.4\times10^4\~7.2\times10^4 CFU/mL$로 $2.66\~3.36$의 log cycle이 감소되면서 Streptococcus mutans의 증식이 크게 억제되었다. 이와 같이 가루녹차 첨가에 의한 드링크 요구르트 내에서 Streptococcus mutans에 대한 생육 억제 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.
