Abstract

Thirty one of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from perilla leaf cultivation areas in Miryang were investigated on the characteristics, such as enterotoxin genes and antibiotic susceptibility. Five toxin genes (sea, seb, sec, sed, and see) were examined by PCR method. Disc diffusion method was used to examine the antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus by using 18 types of antibiotic discs with different concentrations. Among enterotoxin-encoding genes, sea and sed genes were co-detected from 4 isolates (12.9%), sed gene was founded in 9 isolates (29.0%), and see gene was founded in 1 isolate (3.2%). However seb and sec and tsst were not detected in any isolates. As a result of antibiotic susceptibility test, 7 isolates (22.6%) were resistant to 12 antibiotics (penicillin, ampicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cefazolin, cephalothin, imipenem, gentamicin, tetracycline, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and erythromycin). 2 isolates (6.5%) were resistant to 5 antibiotics (penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, gentamycin, and telithromycin). MRSA (Methicilline Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) was founded in packing vinyl, hands, and perilla leaves.

본 연구는 들깻잎과 들깻잎 생산환경을 대상으로 31개의 시료를 채취하여 S. aureus 를 분리 하였다. 분리된 S. aureus 31주의 toxicity를 평가하고자 독소유전자와 항생제 내성을 검색하였다. 그 결과 분리된 균주에서 4개의 서로 다른 독소유전자 패턴은 확인하였으며 sea와 sed유전자를 동시에 보유하는 균주는 4균주 (12.9%)였고, sed 유전자를 보유하는 균주는 9균주 (29.0%)였으며 see 유전자를 보유하는 균주는 1균주 (3.2%)였다. 한편 seb와 sec 유전자를 보유하는 균주는 없었다. 항생제 내성평가결과, 12제의 항생제(penicillin, ampicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cefazolin, cephalothin, imipenem, gentamicin, tetracycline, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and erythromycin)에 내성을 보인 균주는 7균주 (22.6%)였다. 또한 분리된 균주의 2균주 (2.6%)는 5제의 항생제(penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, gentamycin, and telithromycin)에 내성을 보였고 MRSA (Methicilline Resistant Staphylococcus aureus)는 포장지, 장갑, 들깻잎에서 발견되었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 들깻잎에 오염된 S. aureus에 의하여 독소형 식중독이 발생할 가능성을 시사하며 들깻잎과 생산 환경에서 항생제 저항성 S. aureus가 검출되어 의약계뿐만 아니라 농업현장에서도 항생제내성균주 출현을 예방하는 대책이 요구된다.
