A total of 130 of Staphylococcus strains isolated from various clinical specimens of admitted patients of a university hospital with systemic or severe cases of infection. All of these were tested for the antimicrobial susceptibility to 11 drugs of common use. The hospital strains isolated showed higher frequency of resistance against four drugs including gentamicin, penicillin, erythromycin, kanamycin but amikacin, cephalothin, streptomycin were effective. And also 47.7% of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus were isolated from the clinical patients. However, isolated Escherichia coli strains showed higher frequency of resistance, but two drugs, tobramycin and gentamicin were effective to them.

In this study, we aimed to make antibiotic-intercalated smectite composites using amoxicillin and clarithromycin as hygroscopic antibiotics, and gentamicin, tobramycin and netilmicin as non-hygroscopic aminoglucosides, and to check their drug delivery potential in gastric system using preliminary in-situ column release test for clarithromycinsmectite composite. All antibiotics were successfully intercalated into the interlayer of smectite by cation-exchange reaction in the batch experiment. Equilibrium batch test showed that clarithromycin-intercalation followed Langmuir isotherm and the possible maximum amount was calculated as 1.811 mmole/g. Clarithromycin was continuously released by the solutions of pH=2, 3, and 4 and the amount was decreased with pH increase.

Shigella is one of the most prevalent pathogens for the diarrhoeal diseases in the developing countries. One hundered and six strains of shigella were isolated from January 1980 to August 1981 at the dept. of clinical pathology, Han Yang Medical Center. Subgroups of these strains were identified as one strain of S. dysenteriae, 98 strains of S. flexneri and 7 strains of S. sonnei. None of S. boydii was observed. Sex ratio, male to female was 48 to 58. Age distribution disclosed 6 cases under one year, 11 cases one to under 2 years and 21 cases(19.8%) two to under 3 years. Subtotal of 0 to 9 years showed 64 cases(60.4%). Susceptibility for antibiotics of these strains revealed dibekacin 100%, sisomicin 100%, amikacin 98.1%, cefazolin 97.2%, tobramycin 97.1%, gentamicin 95.2%, colistin 93.0%, minocycline 89.6%, kanamycin 83.0%, carbenicillin 18.9%, streptomycin 18.9%, tmp-smz 8.6%, ampicillin 2.8% and chloramphenicol 1.9%. Patterns of resistance to sulfa, streptomycin, chloramphenical and tetracycline have already started at the early part of 1960 decade. Although ampicillin was highly sensitive to shigella at the end of 1960 to the early part of 1970 decade, this study has disclosed high resistance to the strains. New antibiotics such as amikacin, cefazolin, dibekacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin have revealed highly sensitive to these strains, however, multiresistance for those antibiotics will be shown to be prevalent in this country within several years, where it is probably related to the unrestricted sale and use of antibiotics in man.

On hundred and forty stains of shigella cultures isolated from the twelve hygiene laboratories of cities and provincial general hospital laboratories in 1983 were tested for their resistance to thirteen antimicrobial drugs and their R-plasmid transfer. Antimicrobial drugs were used amikacin, ampicillin, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, rifampicin, streptamycin, tetracycline, tobramycin, cefoperazone and piperacillin. All strains were resistant to one or more of thirteen antimicrobial drugs but 94.3% were susceptible to amikacin, gentamicin and tobramycin of total isolated. The most strains commonly found resistance was to chloramphenicol (94%) followed by streptamycin (93%), tetracyline (92%) piperacillin (90%) ampicillin (83%), cefoperazone (42%), nalidixic acid (14%), cephalothin (17%), rifampicin (22%) and kanamycin (6%), sixty percent of strains among 140 were resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, tetracycline at the same time. The transfer of drug resistance by conjugation was tested and ninety four strains (94.3%) were resistant to one or more drugs were found to transfer their drug resistance of E. coli. percentage of transfer frequency by conjugation was one strains (54%), the transfer frequency of drug resistance varied by donor strains and recipients, but not by selecting drugs. Resistance to nalidixic acid was not transferred by conjugation to recipients. Percentage of plasmid curing after the treatment of acriflavine, acridine orange was about 8%. Among strains cured two strains were tested compare original strains with them in biochemical properties in arginine dihydrolase and arabinose fermentation reaction. It was found to growth curves of No.2 shigella flexneri, serotype 1b, and its derivatives cured with acriflavine in $M{\ddot{u}}ller$ Hinton broth medium (pH 7.4, $38^{\circ}C$) by temperature Gradient Biophoto Recorder TN-1120 (Tokyo, Japan).

토브라마이신은 그람음성균 감염에 사용하는 아미노글리코사이드계 항생제로 이독성 및 신독성 등의 부작용과 큰 개인차로 혈중농도 모니터를 통한 투여계획이 필요한 약물이다. 본 연구에서는 16명의 위암환자에서 비선형 최소자승 회귀분석과 베이시안 분석에 의한 토브라마이신의 약물동태에 분석오차의 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 약물투여는 토브라마이신 1-2 mg/kg을 30분에 걸쳐 8시간 간격으로 등속 주입하였으며, 혈액 채취는 정상상태에 도달되었다고 판단되는 첫 약물투여 72시간 후에, 약물 주입 5분전과 주입이 끝난 뒤 30분과 2시간에서 세차례 채취하였다. 혈청중 약물농도는 형광편광면역법으로 측정 하였다. 분석오차를 위해 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 및 12 ${\mu}g/mL$에 해당하는 토브라마이신 혈중농도(C)을 네차례 측정하여 각 혈중농도의 표준편차 (SD)을 구하였다. 토브라마이신 분석오차를 구하기 위한 다항식이 SD = 0.0224+0.0540C+0.00173C2, $R^2$ = 0.935이었다. 이 식에서 구한 SD 값으로 분석시 가중치를 주었을 때, 비선형 최소자승 회귀분석에 의한 토브라마이신의 약물동태학적 파라메타 ($V_d$, $K_{el}$, $K_{slpoe}$, $t_{1/2}$)에 유의성있는 영향을 주었으나, 베이시안 분석에 의한 토브라마이신의 약물동태학적 파라메타에는 영향이 없었다. 이 다항식으로 부터 구한 분석오차를 토브라마이신의 비선형 최소자승 회귀분석을 이용한 약물동태 연구 및 파라메타 분석에 적용하여 좀 더 정확한 투여용량을 결정할 수 있으며, 더 나아가 토브라마이신 약물동태 시뮬레이션 연구에 응용할 수 있다.

One hundred and seventeen colonies were screened for the detection of the production of exodextranase on the dextran-mineral salts medium. Ten colonies out of them produced the dextranase. Flavobacterium multivorum greatly producing the enzyme was isolated from soil, identified and then studied for various biochemical characteristics. The activity of the dextranase in the cultured medium was high between pH8 and 9 at $35^{\circ}C$, and between $45^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ at pH8. By the growth curves the generation times of the bacterium were approximately 52 minutes in the LB broth, 38 minutes in the LB plus 1% dextran and 660 minutes in the dextran-salts. The strain did not have ant plasmid, and was susceptible to genramicin, cotrimoxazole and cefoperazone, and moderately susceptible to chloramphenicol, cefamandole and cefotaxime, but resistant to ampicillin, cephalothin, tetracycline, amikacin and tobramycin.

Staphylococcus aureus KH13 and Staphylococcus aureus KH28 were resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin, tobramycin, and norfloxacin. A plasmid (pKH13) and two plasmids (pKH14, pKH15) were isolated from Staphylococcus aureus KH13 and Staphylococcus aureus KH28, respectively and complete nucleotide sequences of three plasmids were determined. It was found that pKH13 and pKH15 mediated chloramphenicol resistance and pKH14 was a cryptic plasmid.
