Abstract

This study was practiced to investigate characteristics and antibiotics susceptibility to 296 isolates of Escherichia coli isolated from 2429 fishery samples sold in Noryangjin Fishery Market from Sep. 2001 to Aug. 2002 It showed 12.2% average E. coli isolation rates for the tested samples. Isolation rates were high in summer, especially July and August, but there was no isolate in winter season. Of the fishery groups, the isolation rate showed in crustacea(15.6%), in mollusca(14.4%), in shellfish(12.0%) and in fish(11.0%). But, differences between the fishery groups was not large. In the case of shellfish, the isolation rate of shucked shellfish (16.3%) was higher than the non-shucked shellfish (6.8%). Following the provinces of origin of the fishery samples, in Gyung-Nam (14.3%) showed the highest isolation rate, whereas Je-Ju (6.9%) showed the lowest isolation rate. Results in 12 kinds of antibiotics susceptibility test, the 169 isolates(57.1%) had antibiotics resistances at least one kind of antibiotics and the 104 isolates (35.1%) had the multiple resistance at least two kinds.

총 2429건의 시판 수산물에서 296건의 E. coli가 분리되어 평균 12.2%의 분리율을 보였다. 대장균은 연중 분리되나, 하절기 특히 8, 9월에 가장 높은 분리율을 보였다. 어종별 대장균 분리율은 갑각류 15.6%, 연체류 14.4%, 패류 12.0%, 어류 11.0%로 나타나 어종간의 분리율 차이는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 패류의 경우는 평균 대장균 분리율은 12.0%이지만, 비탈 각패류에서는 6.8%, 탈각패류에서는 16.3%의 분리율을 보여 큰 차이가 있었다. 지역별로는 경남산 어패류에서 대장균 분리율이 14.3%로 높게 나타났고, 제주는 6.9%로 낮은 분리율을 보였다. Tetracycline 및 $\beta$-lactam계 항생제에 대한 내성은 비교적 높았던 반면, chloramphenicol과 aminoglycoside계 항생제에 대한 내성은 전혀 없거나 아주 낮은 빈도로 출현하였으며 다제내성주의 빈도는 35.1%로 임상분리주에서 보다 낮게 나타났다.
