Abstract

From April 2008 to January 2009, a total 458 raw milk samples were randomly collected from 15 stock raising farms located in northern area of Kyunggi province and cultured for the presence of Enterococci spp. A total 170 enterococcal isolates were recovered from the raw milk samples. Enterococcus faecalis was predominant species recovered (64.7%), followed by E. faecium (18.8%), E. avium (5.9%), E. gallinarum (5.9%) and E. durans (4.7%). Antimicrobial resistance patterns of 170 Enterococci spp. against ampicillin, erythromycin, tetracyclin, chloramphenicol, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin and streptomycin were tested. According to the result, they showed high level resistance to erythromycin and streptomycin (82,9% and 93,5% respectively), moderately resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol and tetracyclin (50%, 45.9% and 32%, respectively) but fortunately, vancomycin and ciprofloxacin are still effective against this species.

2008년 4월부터 2009년 1월 사이에 경기도 북부 지역에 위치한 축산 농가 15곳으로부터 458개의 원유 시료를 공급받아 장구균속 세균을 분리 동정하였다. 총 170개의 장구균속 세균이 분리되었으며 그 중 Enterococcus faecalis가 가장 우세하게 분리된 균주이며 (64.7%) E. faecium이 18.8%, E. avium이 5.9%, E. gallinarium이 5.9%, E. durans가 4.7%의 순으로 분리되었다. 분리된 170종의 장구균을 대상으로 ampicillin, erythromycin, tetracyclin, chloramphenicol, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin 및 streptomycin에 대한 감수성 검사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 erythromycin (82.9%)과 streptomycin (93.5%)에 대해서는 고도의 저항성을 나타내었으며 ampicillin (50%), chloramphenicol (45.(%) 및 tetracyclin (32%)에 대해서는 중증도의 저항성을 나타내었으나 vanocomycin 및 ciprofloxacin에 대해서는 다행이 감수성인 결과를 나타내었으며 앞으로도 지속적인 모니터링이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
