Abstract

The overall objective of this study is to develop the engineering-friendly-methodology which can investigate the fate of antibiotic resistance in environment microbial community. For this purpose, effective concentration (EC) concept was adopted with cultural based method which is currently used in engineering practice. When a tetracyline antibiotic was present as selective pressure agent among microbial community, activated sludge, the $EC_{50}$ and/or $EC_{90}$ of tetracycline in microbial community were statistically increased compared to control, especially higher growth rate and organic loading conditions of SBRs. Therefore, these results strongly suggested that the continuous monitoring of EC in microbial community can be used for characterizing the fate of tetracycline resistance community in environmental samples.

본 연구의 전체적인 목적은 공학 분야 사람들이 쉽게 환경 미생물군집내의 항생제 내성균의 거동을 조사할 수 있는 방법론을 개발하는 것이다. 이 목적을 위해서, 공학에 널리 사용되는 배양 기법을 이용한 유효농도(EC)기법을 사용될 수 있는지를 본 연구에서 알아보았다. 활성슬러지내 중에 테트라싸이클린이 주입되어(존재)하여 항생제 내성균이 자라기에 좋은 조건이 되었을 때, 테트라싸이클린에 대한 50% 및 90% 유효값 ($EC_{50}$, $EC_{90}$)은 대조군(테트라싸이클린 항생제가 포함되지 않은 것)과 비교하였을 때, 통계적으로 증가하였다. 특히 미생물 성장률과 유기물 농도가 높게 유지 돼서 운전된 SBR 반응조에서 그 경향이 뚜렷하였다. 그러므로, 이러한 결과는 환경미생물내에서의 지속적인 유효농도(EC)의 관찰은 환경 미생물시료에서의 테트라싸이클린 내성 군집거동의 변화를 추적하는데 실질적인 기법으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
