일부 병원성 미생물에 대해 항균활성을 보이는 생약의 탐색

Screening of Herb Drugs Showing Antimicrobial Activity Against Some Pathogenic Microorganisms

수종의 병원성 미생물에 대한 39여종의 생약 열수추출액의 항균성을 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 황백 Phellodendron amurense 및 황령 Coptis chinensis 는 Staphylococcus aureus균의 생육을 억제시켰으며 복분자 Rubus creanus는 Staphylococcus aureus 및 Pseudomonas aeruginosa에 항균력을 나타내었다. 진피 Citrus unshiu는 E.coli에 대해서 산수유 Cornus officinalis는 Candida albicans의 생육을 억제시켰고 우슬 Achyranthes japonica 및 감초 Clycyrrhiza uralsis는 Aspergillus niger에 뚜렷한 항균효과를 나타내었다. 또한 감초는 Staphylococcus Aureus, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Aspergillus niger 모두에 항균력을 나타내었다.

Thirty nine kinds of Korean herb drugs have screened for antimicrobial activity of some pathogenic microorganisms. It was revealed that some of hot water extracts from herb drugs showed antimicrobial activity in one or more strain of pathogenic microorganisms. Phellodendron amurense and Coptis chinensis inhibited growth of Staphylococcus aureus. Rubus coreanus showed antibacterial activity in Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Citrus unshill inhibited growth of Escherichia coli and Cornus officinalis showed antibacterial activity in E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Dioscorea battltas and Cinnamomum cassia showed antibacterial activity in Pseodomonas aeruginosa. And also, ScutelJa baicaJerrsis inhibited growth of Candida albicanus. Achyranthes japonica and Glycyrrhiza uralensis showed antifungal activity in Aspergillus niger. It was noteworthy that Glycrrhiza uranensis inhibited growth of Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus niger.
