Abstract

The purpose of our study is to compare the adhesion and biofilm formation abilities of isolates from water discharged from dental unit waterlines (DUWLs). Bacteria were isolated from a total of 15 DUWLs. Twelve isolates were selected for the experiment. To confirm the adhesion ability of the isolates, each isolate was attached to a glass coverslip using a 12-well plate. Plates were incubated at $26^{\circ}C$ for 7 days, and the degree of adhesion of each isolate was scored. To verify the biofilm formation ability of each isolate, biofilms were allowed to form on a 96-well polystyrene flat-bottom microtiter plate. The biofilm accumulations of all isolates formed at $26^{\circ}C$ for 7 days were identified and compared. A total of 56 strains were isolated from 15 water samples including 12 genera and 31 species. Of the 56 isolates, 12 isolates were selected according to the genus and used in the experiment. Sphingomonas echinoides, Methylobacterium aquaticum, and Cupriavidus pauculus had the highest adhesion ability scores of +3 among 12 isolates. Among these three isolates, the biofilm accumulation of C. pauculus was the highest and that of S. echinoides was the third-most abundant. The lowest biofilm accumulations were identified in Microbacterium testaceum and M. aquaticum. Most isolates with high adhesion ability also exhibited high biofilm formation ability. Analysis of adhesion and biofilm formation of the isolates from DUWLs can provide useful information to understand the mechanism of DUWL biofilm formation and development.

우리 연구의 목적은 DUWL에서 배출되는 물에서 분리한 균주의 부착 능력과 바이오필름 형성 능력을 확인하고 두 능력 사이 관계를 확인하는 것이다. DUWL로부터 분리한 12균주를 실험에 사용하였다. 각 균주의 부착 능력을 확인하기 위해, 12-well plates의 각 well에 멸균된 glass coverslip, R2A 액체 배지, 그리고 $1{\times}10^8CFU/ml$의 농도로 조정된 세균 현탁액을 넣고 $26^{\circ}C$ 배양기에서 7일 동안 배양하였다. 배양 후, glass coverslip에 부착한 정도에 따라 1~3점으로 점수를 부여하였다. 분리 균주의 바이오필름 형성 능력을 확인하기 위해, 96-well polystyrene flat-bottom microtiter plate에 R2A 액체 배지와 세균 현탁액을 넣고 $26^{\circ}C$에서 7일 동안 배양하였다. 배양 후, plate에 형성된 바이오필름은 R2A 액체 배지에 현탁했고, 현탁액을 R2A 고체 배지에 도말하였다. $26^{\circ}C$에서 7일 배양한 후 세균의 집락을 계수하고 CFU/ml를 계산하였다. DUWL로부터 총 56균주가 분리되었으며, 12속과 31종을 포함하였다. 실험에는 속당 1균주씩 선택하여 총 12균주가 사용되었다. 12균주 중에 S. echinoides, M. aquaticum, C. pauculus의 부착 능력 점수는 +3으로 가장 높았다. 바이오필름 축적량은 C. pauculus가 가장 많았고, M. testaceum이 가장 적었다. 대부분의 부착 능력이 높은 균주는 바이오필름 형성 능력 또한 높았다. 본 연구의 결과는 DUWL 바이오필름의 형성 기전을 파악하는데 도움을 주며 나아가 바이오필름 형성을 억제하는 방법의 개발에 기본적인 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
