The API STAPH-IDENT system was evaluated as a means for identifying Staphylococcus hyicus subsp hyicus straints isolated from swine and poultry. Of 80 strains from swine, 68 (85%) were correctly identified by the API STAPH-IDENT system alone after 5 h of incubation. When results were determined after 24 h of incubation, the accuracy of this system alone was 93.8%. By additional tests in conjunction with the API STAPH-IDENT system, however, all 80 strains could be correctly identified. Of 120 strains from poultry, 87 (72.5%) required additional testing to achieve a correct identification, and 33 (27.5%) were incorrectly identified by this system after 5 h of incubation. After 24 h of incubation, 99 of 120 (82.5%) avian strains were incorrectly identified as Staph epidermidis owing to false-negative mannose and trehalose utilizations. Seventy-seven (96.3%) of swine strains were positive for ${\beta}-glucuronidase$, whereas all 120 strains recovered tram poultry were negative for it.

The result of API staph-ident system was compared with cellular fatty acid composition for the identification of Staphylococcus species isolated from cattle. Isolated strains from cattle were correctly identified to S aureus, S intermedius, S hyicus, S simulans, S saprophyticus, S epidemis, S sciuri and S xylosus by API staph-ident system. The correlation between bacterial cellular fatty acid profile and Staphylococcus species isolated to API STAPH-IDENT system were. In conclusion, the result presented indicate that Staphylococci can be indentified to the species level by the cellular fatty acid profiles. Moreover, computerized fatty acid profile correlative anaylsis can be applied for determining identify of Staphylococcus species.

The API STAPH system was compared with conventional methods for identification of 214 strains of Staphylococcus hyicus subsp. hyicus isolated from cases of exudative epidermitis in piglets, skin of healthy pigs, skin of healthy chickens and bovine intramammary infections, and biochemical characteristics among the swine, avian and bovine strains were also compared. All of the swine and bovine strains produced acid within 24 hours from fructose, lactose and trehalose by conventional methods, but some of the avian strains showed a delayed positive reaction in these carbohydrates. These delayed positive strains in conventional methods gave usually negative results for them in the API STAPH system. With the API STAPH system, eighteen different profile numbers were encountered in 214 strains of swine, avian and bovine origin. The swine and bovine strains, respectively, were distributed among 4 profiles, while the avian strains were distributed among 17 profiles. The profile number observed most frequently in the strains of each animal species was uniformly 6 516 153. By conventional methods, approximately 96% of the swine strains were positive for ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, but not in any strains from chickens and cattle. For hyaluronidase production determined by degradation of sodium hyaluronidate in a solid culture medium, all the swine and bovine strains were positive, but only 37.5% of the avian strains were positive for it. From these findings, there were differences in the production of extracellular active substances between swine strains of Staphylococcus hyicus subsp. hyicus and those isolated from chickens and cattle.

식용얼음은 식품의 제조 가공 조리 등에 직접 사용하거나 그대로 먹기 위해 먹는 물을 얼린 얼음을 뜻하며 얼음의 제조 및 판매 과정에서 미생물이 교차 오염되면 식중독 및 장염을 유발한다. 또한 식용얼음 뿐만 아니라 상수계통, 약수물, 상수와 냉온수기의 정수된 물에서도 여러 가지 원인에 의해서 세균이 증식하는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 이유로 대구시 북구지역에서 생산되는 식용얼음의 위생 상태를 살펴보고자 무작위로 15곳을 선정하여 Brain Heart Infusion 배지에서 세균을 배양한 결과 1곳을 제외한 14곳의 검체에서 균이 증식 되었고 그람염색 결과, 그람음성간균이 80% 차지하였고 그람양성구균 17% 그리고 그람음성구균 3%의 분포를 나타냈다. 그람음성간균의 잠정적인 동정방법으로 API 20E kit와 API 20NE kit를 이용한 결과 Enterobacter cloacae, Chryseomonas luteola, Pantoea spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Providencia rettgeri 등이 검출 되었다. 5곳에서 분리된 그람양성구균을 API Staph kit를 이용한 잠정적 동정결과 L업소에서 분리된 균은 식중독을 일으키는 병원성이 강한 Staphylococcus aureus로 동정되었다. 본 연구에서는 대구시 북구 지역의 식용 얼음류에 존재하는 일반세균 및 병원성 세균의 분포를 조사함으로 식용얼음의 위생 상태에 대한 주의를 부각시키고 나아가 대구시 타지역의 식용얼음에 대한 세균분포 조사 및 위생상태 점검에 대한 필요성을 시사한다.
