Abstract

Bacteria that are resistant to several different groups of antibiotics have increased during the past few years. The importance of surveillance of antimicrobial resistance is now widely recognized. Unfortunately, this development has not been documented continuously in veterinary medicine in Korea. Therefore, the clinical prevalence and trend of antimicrobial susceptibility of aerobic isolates were investigated in this study. Total 121 isolates of aerobic bacteria were isolated from clinical specimens of dogs and cats at Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University from May 2001 to October 2002. Among them, the most common isolated species was Staphylococcus spp. (48 isolates), followed by E.coli (26 isolates), Enterococcus spp. (21 isolates), Klebsiella pneumoniae (9 isolates), Streptococcus spp. (6 isolates), Enterobacter cloacae (3 isolates), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3 isolates), Corynebacterium xerosis (2 isolates), Chryseomonas spp. (2 isolates), and Providencia stuartii (1 isolate). The susceptibility of isolates to antibiotics was determined by the disk diffusion method. Gram-positive bacterial isolates were showed high susceptibilities to amikacin, amoxacillin/clavulanate, ceftazidime, and oxacillin, while Gram-negative bacterial isolates were showed high susceptibilities to amikacin and ceftazidime. Staphylococcus spp. were showed high susceptibilities to amikacin, amoxicillin/clavulanate, ceftazidime, cephalothin, and oxacillin. Streptococcus spp. and E.coli were showed high susceptibilities to amikacin and ceftazidime. Of the 48 staphylococci, seven Methicillin Resistant staphylococci were observed (14.6%), distributed among S. auricularis (1), S. hemolyticus (2), S. sciuri (1), S. saprophyticus (1), S. warneri (2) isolates. One strain of E.coli and one strain of Corynebacterium xerosis were resistant to all antibiotics tested. And, resistance trends between the you 2000 (from July 1999 to September 2000) and 2002 (from May 2001 to October 2002) were compared. Resistance to antibiotics was increased in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial isolates (p＜ 0.05). The resistance rates of Staphylococcus spp., E.coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to all antibiotics tested were also increased (p＜0.05). This study investigated increasing resistance between the year 2000 and 2002 in Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. Surveillance resistance is helpful to alert to veterinarian and select of appropriate therapy. Antimicrobial susceptibility surveillance of isolates should urgently be continued in veterinary medicine.

항생제 저항성의 증가가 우려되고 있는 현재, 수의 임상에서는 지속적인 항생제 내성의 조사가 이루어지지 않고 있었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 대학 동물병원에 내원한 증례의 임상검체들로부터 분리한 호기성 세균과 그들의 항생제 감수성 양상을 조사하고자 하였다. 2001년 5월부터 2002년 10월까지 서울대학교 수의과대학 부속동물병원에 내원한 개 고양이에서 채취한 임상 검체로부터 총 121주의 호기성 세균이 분리되었는데, 가장 많이 분리된 세균은 Staphylococcus spp. (48주)였으며 이어서 E.coli (26주), Enterococcus spp. (21주) 등의 순으로 빈도수가 높게 분리되었다. 항생제 감수성 검사 결과, 그람 양성균은 amikacin, amoxacillin/clavulanate, ceftazidime, oxacillin에 높은 감수성을 나타내었고, 그람 음성균은 amikacin과 ceftazidime에 높은 감수성을 나타내었다. 이 중, Staphylococcus spp.는 amikacin, amoxacillin/clavulanate, ceftazidime, oxacillin, cephalothin에 높은 감수성을 나타내었고, Streptococcus sup.와 E.coli는 amikacin과 ceftazidime에 높은 감수성을 나타내었다. Enterococcus rpp.와 Klebsiella pneumoniae는 70% 이상의 감수성을 나타내는 항생제가 없었다. 이 외에도 7주의 Methicillin Resistant staphylococci가 분리되었으며, 실험에 사용한 모든 항생제에 저항성을 가지는 균주가 E.coli와 Corynebacterium xerosis에서 각각 1주씩 분리되었다. 2000년 (1999년 7월-2000년 9월)과 2002년 (2001년 5월-2002년 10월) 항생제 저항성을 비교했을 때, 그람 양성균과 그람 음성균의 전체 항생제에 대한 저항성은 증가했음을 확인할 수 있었는데 특히 Staphylococcus spp.와 E.coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae의 전체 항생제에 대한 저항성이 유의성 있게 증가하였음을 확인할 수 있었다(p＜70.05). 이상과 같이 동물 병원 임상 검체에서 원인균의 분리 동정은 항생제 선택에 도움을 줄 수 있는 중요한 자료를 제공하며, 항생제 저항성의 증가를 확인함으로써 이를 치료에 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 따라서 수의 임상에서 항생제 저항성의 변화 양상에 대한 조사는 계속해서 이루어져야 되리라 사료된다.
