Abstract

The aacCl, aacC2, aacC3, and aacC4 genes, which encode aminoglycoside acetyltransferase AAC(3)-I, AA(3)-II, AAC(3)-III, and AAC(3)-IV, respectively, and aerolysin genes in water samples from Juam lake were surveyed by polymerase chain reaction. Surface water was collected from January 1996 to December 1998, and then bacterial DNA was extracted from the water. Twelve samples were tested by PCR to servey the genes for aminoglycoside acetyltransferase and aerolysin in the lake water. The aacC2 gene was detected in 9 of 12 DNA samples. Among 9 samples showing aacC2 positive, 7 samples were associated with Tn3 sequence. However, none of the twelve samples amplified the expected DNA fragment for aacC1, aacC3, and aacC4 genes. PCR primer to detect the aerolysin gene was designed using the conserved region of the genes for aerolysin and hemolysin of Aeromonas spp. This primer set successfully amplified the expected 414 bp PCR product with the DNA samples from the lake water. The aerolysin gene was detected in 7 of 12 DNA samples. When Southern hybridization of the gel with probe was performed, the aerolysin gene was detected in 10 of 12 DNA samples. However, the seasonal fluctuation of these genes was not found.

1996년 1월부터 1998년 12월까지 주암호의 한 정점에서 12개의 시료를 채수하여 총 세균의 DNA를 추출한 뒤 DNA 중에 gentamicin 저항성에 관련된 aminoglycoside acetyltransferase들의 유전자의 aacC들 (aacC1∼aacC4)과 Aeromonas 속이 생산하는 독소인 aerolysin 유전자의 존재 여부를 PCR을 통해 확인하였다. 전체 12개의 DNA 시료중 9개의 시료에서 aacC2 유전자가 검출되었고, aacC2 유전자가 검출된 시료 중 7개의 시료에서 aacC2 유전자가 Tn3의 염기서열과 연관되어 발현이 증가되는 구조를 하고 있었다. 그러나 aacC1, aacC3 및 aacC4 유전자는 검출되지 않았다. Aeromonas 속에서 보고된 aerolysin과 hemolysin 등의 유전자에서 conserved region을 찾아내어 aerolysin 유전자의 검출을 위한 PCR primer set를 설계하였다. 설계된 primer set는 12개의 DNA 시료 중 7개의 시료에서 예상된 414 bp의 PCR 산물을 증폭하였다. 이 DNA 절편을 probe로 사용하여 Southern hybridization을 행한 결과 12개의 DNA 시료 중 10개의 시료에서 aerolysin 유전자가 검출되었다. 그러나 이들 유전자의 계절에 따른 출현의 변화는 발견되지 않았다.
