Serobiological Characteristics and Antibiotic Sensitivity of Pseudomonas spp. Isolated from Spring Waters in Seoul Area

서울근교 약수터에서 분리한 Pseudomonas속균의 혈청생화학적 특성 및 항균제 감수성

In order to investigate the species, serobiological characteristics and antibiotic sensitivity of Pseudomonas spp, we isolated Pseudomonas spp from 57 spring waters around Seoul area for spring, summer and autumn and identified Pseudomonas spp by biochemical characteristics and serological method. And also we tested the antibiotic sensitivity test by discdiffusion method. Of 57 spring waters tested, Pseudomonas spp were isolated from 33 spring waters(57.9%). Isolation rate of Pseudomonas spp in spring season was 28.1%, summer 21.1% and autumn 28.1%. Only 1 spring water was detected Pseudomonas spp in all seasons and 9 (15.8%) were detected for 2 seasons and 13 (22.8%) were for only 1 season. Isolation rate of Pseudomonas spp at Mt. Cheonggye was 50% and followed by Mt. Bookhan 35.7%, Mt. Daemo 33.3%, Mt. Dobong 29.6%, Mt. Surak 25.9%, Mt. Woomyun 22.2% and Mt. Bulam 7.4%. Of 44 Pseudomonas spp, 22 strains (50%) were identified by Ps. putida, Ps. aeruginosa, Ps. fluorescens and Ps. mendocina were identified 6 strains (13.6%), respectively. 4 strains (9.1%) were identified by Ps. aureofaciens. Of 6 Ps. aeruginosa, serotype A was 2 strains, B, E, G, and K was 1 strain, respectively. Of 44 Pseudomonas spp, resistance rate to amoxicillin was 90.9% and followed by chloramphenicol 84.1%, tetracycline 84.1%, carbenicillin 81.8%, nalidixic acid 68.2%, neomycin 38.6%, streptomycin 31.8%, gentamicin 4.6%, kanamycin 4.6% and colistin 2.3%. Ps. aeruginosa was more sensitive to carbenicillin than other Pseudomonas spp isolated from spring waters in Seoul area but more resistant to kanamycin, and Ps. aureofaciens was no resistant to streptomycin. Among multiple drug resistance, resistance to 5 drugs was 31.8%, 4 drugs 15.9%, 7 drugs 13.6%, 1 drug and 2 drugs 4.6%, and 8 drugs 2.3%, respectively. The multiple resistance patterns detected highestly were NA-CB-C-TE-AMC (18.2%), NA-CB-N-C-TE-AMC (13.6%), CBC-TE-AMC (11.4%) and NA-CB-N-C-TE-AMC-S (9.1%).

서울시내 약수에서 Pseudomonas속균의 균종분포, 생화학적 특성, 혈청학적 특성 및 항생제 감수성을 조사하기 위하여 약수 57개소에 대하여 봄, 여름, 가을에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 총 57개 약수를 조사한 결과, 33개 (57.9%)의 약수에서 Pseudomonas속균이 검출되었다. 봄, 여름, 가을에 모두 검출된 곳은 1곳(1.8%) 이었으며, 2회에 걸쳐 검출된 곳은 9곳 (15.8%)이었으며, 1회만 검출된 곳은 13곳 (22.8%)이었다. 지역별로는 청계산이 50%의 검출율을 나타내었으며, 북한산, 35.7&, 대모산 33.3%, 도봉산 29.6%, 수락산 25.9%, 우면산 22.2%, 불암산 7.4% 순이었다. 분리된 균종은 Ps. putidark 22주(50%)로 가장 많았으며, Ps. aeruginosa, Ps. fluorescens 및 Ps. mendocins 각 6주(13.6%), Ps.aureofaciens 4주(9.1%)이었다. 분리된 Ps. aeruginosa6주의 혈청형은 모두 5종으로 A형 2주 , B, C,E 및 G형 각 2주씩이었다. 분리된 Ps. aeruginosa의 항생제에 대한 내성은 Amoxicillin 90.9%, Chloramphenicol 84.1%, Carbenicillin 81.8%, Nalidixic acid 68.2%, Neomycin 38.6%, Streptomycin 31.8%, Gentamicin 4.6%, Kanamycin 4.6% 그리고 Colistin 2.3%이었다. Ps.aeruginosa는 다른 슈도모나스균에 비해 carbenicillin에 대한 감수성이 있으나 kanamycin에 대한 내성이 높았다. Ps. aureofaciens는 다른 슈도모나스균에 비해 streptomycin에 대하여 내성이 없었다. 분리된 Ps.aeruginosa의 항생제에 대한 다제내성양상은 5제내성이 31.8%로 가장 높았으며, 내성양상에서는 NA-CB-CTE-AMC가 18.2%로 가장 높게 나타났다.
