주요 획득성 metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) 유전자에 의해 매개되는 carbapenem 내성, 특히 Acinetobacter spp. 균종의 임상 분리주에 대한 보고가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서 임상에서 비 중복으로 분리된 carbapenem 비감수성 Acinetobacter spp. 191주 중 125 (65.4%)주가 imipenem 혹은 meropenem-Hodge 변법시험에 양성이었고, 49 (25.7%)주가 imipenem-EDTA+SMA double disk synergy (DDS) 시험에 양성이었다. bla_VIM-2 allele와 bla_IMP-2 allele 검출을 위한 중합효소연쇄반응과 염기서열분석을 시행한 결과, A. baumannii와 A. calcoaceticus에서 각각 29주와 1주가 bla_VIM-2를 갖고 있었고, A. baumannii 16주와 A. calcoaceticus 2주가 bla_IMP-1을 갖고 있었다. A. genomospecies 3는 blaVIM-2와 bla_AIM-1을 동시에 갖고 있었다. 이들 MBL 유전자는 모두 class 1 integron에 있었다. bla_VIM-2 혹은 bla_IMP-6를 갖는 class 1 integron의 크기는 A. baumannii 분리주에서는 2.8 kb에서 3.2 kb이었고, A. genomospecies 3 분리주에서는 3.2 kb에서 3.5 kb이었다. bla_VIM-2는 대부분 class 1 integron에 첫번째 혹은 두번째에 위치하였고, aacA4를 흔히 가지고 있었다. 다양한 내성 유전자를 가질 수 있는 MBL 생성 Acinetobacter spp.뿐 아니라 다양한 내성 유전자를 가질 수 있는 integron의 전파로 imipenem이나 meropenem과 같은 carbapenem 내성을 포함하여 다제 내성 그람음성 세균의 증가가 예상된다. 또한, 위중한 Acinetobacter spp. 감염증 치료를 위한 새로운 항균제 개발이 필요하다.

Of the Acinetobacter spp., A. baumannii (genospecies 2) is the most clinically significant in terms of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. It is difficult to perform Acinetobacter-related taxonomy using phenotypic characteristics and routine laboratory methods owing to clusters of closely related species. The ability to accurately identify Acinetobacter spp. is clinically important because antimicrobial susceptibility and clinical relevance differs significantly among the different genospecies. Based on the medical importance of pathogenic Acinetobacter spp., the distribution and characterization of Acinetobacter spp. isolates from 123 clinical samples was determined in the current study using four typically applied bacterial identification methods; partial rpoB gene sequencing, amplified rRNA gene restriction analysis (ARDRA) of the intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 16~23S rRNA, the $VITEK^{(R)}$ 2 system (an automated microbial identification system) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). A. baumannii isolates (74.8%, 92/123) were the most common species, A. nosocomialis (10.6%, 13/123) and A. pittii isolates (7.5%, 9/123) were second and third most common strains of the A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii (ACB) complex, respectively. A. soli (5.0%, 6/123) was the most common species of the non-ACB complex. RpoB gene sequencing and ARDRA of the ITS region were demonstrated to lead to more accurate species identification than the other methods of analysis used in this study. These results suggest that the use of rpoB genotyping and ARDRA of the ITS region is useful for the species-level identification of Acinetobacter isolates.

DW-116 is a new fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agent with a broad spectrum. In order to elucidate the resistance mechanism to DW-116 in Acinetobacter spp. bacteria, total chromosomal DNA was isolated from 10 strains of Acinetobacter spp. resistant to DW-116. Quinolone resistance determinant region (QRDR) of DNA gyrase gene was amplified by PCR. The 345 bp nucleotide fragment yielded was inserted into pKF 3 which was used as the vector. Comparisons of the DNA sequences of 8 strains with that of the wild type strain revealed a Ser-83 to Leu mutation in mutants and all ten strains contained one silent mutation$(T{\rightarrow}G)$in QRDR. From Acinetobacter MB4-8 strain, DNA gyrase was isolated and purified, through novobiocin-sepharose, heparin-sepharose affinity column chromatography. The enzyme was composed of two subunits and the molecular mass of subunits A and B were 75.6 and 51.9 kDa, respectively. The supercoiling activity of the reconstituted DNA gyrase composed of subunit A from Acinetobacter MB4-8 and subunit B from E. coli was not inhibited by $128{\mu}\textrm{g}$ml of ciprofloxacin. It might be said that one of the resistance mechanisms to DW-116 in Acinetohacter MB4-8 was subunit A alteration of DNA gyrase.

We isolated and identified microorganisms from the aerial environment of domestic museums. The fungi, Penicillium spp., Alternaria spp., and Cladosporium spp. were isolated in many museums. It seems that these fungi are related to biological degradation of textile remains. A total of 14 kinds of bacterial strains were isolated: Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Neisseria spp., Alcaligenes spp., Shigella spp., Klebsiella spp., Corynebacterium spp., Aerococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Micrococcus spp., Citrobacter spp., Erwinia spp., Salmonella spp., and Providencia spp. Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Neisseria spp., and Alcaligenes spp. were the predominate bacteria found in samples with a variety of bacteria. This suggests that there is a relationship between bacteria and the damage of textile remains. In the museum, we isolated Alternaria spp, Geotrichum spp., Penicillium spp. Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Alcaligenes spp. from the entrance, exhibit hall and storage, but they were found in smaller number and species in the exhibit cases and paulownia cases. We concluded that paulownia cases were not influenced by the microorganisms because of quality of care provided by the museum staff. Corynebacterium spp., and Bacillus spp. were not detected at the entrance and exhibit hall but were detected in paulownia cases. It is presumed that those bacteria did not flow in from outside, but resulted from contaminants in paulownia cases. In the distribution of microorganisms associated with textile remains, more fungi were detected than bacteria. Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Neisseria spp., were isolated from silk items. Penicillium spp. and Cladosporium spp. were isolated in the silk and hump items. Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. were isolated from the cotton items. On the other hands, there were no fungi strains in the wool items. Most of the isolated strains from textile remains were aerial microorganisms from the museum environment. These results suggest that textile remains were apt to contaminated by contact with the air.

We compared three EDTA-based phenotypic screening methods for detecting IMP-1 and VIM-2 type metallo-${\beta}$- lactamase (MBL)-producing isolates of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas spp., EDTA-double disk synergy test (EDTADDST), Etest MBL, and imipenem (IPM)-EDTA disk test. A total of 183 isolates (65 Acinetobacter spp. and 118 Pseudomonas spp. showing IPM resistance), confirmed to MBL genes by PCR, were used. The criteria for MBL production were (i) presence of a synergistic zone between IPM and EDTA disks in EDTA-DDST, (ii) reduction of IPM minimal inhibitory concentration by ${\geq}$ 3 twofold dilutions in the presence of EDTA in the Etest MBL, and (iii) ${\geq}$ 7 mm increase in the inhibition zone around the IPM plus EDTA disks compared with a sole IPM disk in the IPM-EDTA disk test. In this study using 87 MBL-producing and 96 MBL-nonproducing isolates, the sensitivities/specificities of EDTA-DDST, Etest MBL and IPM-EDTA disk tests were 94.3/78.1%, 89.7/91.7%, and 97.7/95.8%, respectively. When the threshold for the increase of the inhibition zone around the IPM plus EDTA disk over a sole IPM disk was altered to ${\geq}$ 5 mm and ${\geq}$ 8 mm for Acinetobacter spp. and Pseudomonas spp., respectively, the sensitivity and specificity of the test were 98.9% and 96.9%, respectively. Of the three EDTA-based phenotypic tests, the IMP-EDTA disk test was superior for detection of MBL-producing isolates.

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) has been used for the treatment of urinary tract infections, but increasing resistance to TMP-SMX has been reported. In this study, we analyzed TMP-SMX resistance genes and their relatedness with integrons and insertion sequence common regions (ISCRs) in uropathogenic gram-negative bacilli. Consecutive nonduplicate TMP-SMX nonsusceptible clinical isolates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, Acinetobacter spp., and P. aeruginosa were collected from urine. The minimal inhibitory concentration was determined by Etest. TMP-SMX resistance genes (sul and dfr), integrons, and ISCRs were analyzed by PCR and sequencing. A total of 45 E. coli (37.8%), 15 K. pneumoniae (18.5%), 12 Acinetobacter spp. (70.6%), and 9 Pseudomonas aeruginosa (30.0%) isolates were found to be resistant to TMP-SMX. Their MICs were all over 640. In E. coli and K. pneumoniae, sul1 and dfr genes were highly prevalent in relation with integron1. The sul3 gene was detected in E. coli. However, in P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp., only sul1 was prevalent in relation with class 1 integron; however, dfr was not detected and sul2 was less prevalent than in Enterobacteriaceae. ISCR1 and/or ISCR2 were detected in E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter spp. but the relatedness with TMP-SMX resistance genes was not prominent. ISCR14 was detected in six isolates of E. coli. In conclusion, resistance mechanisms for TMP-SMX were different between Enterobacteriaceae and glucose non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli. Class 1 integron was widely disseminated in uropathogenic gram-negative baciili, so the adoption of prudent use of antimicrobial agents and the establishment of a surveillance system are needed.

Acinetobacter sp.가 외부환경보다 많이 발견되었다는 것으로 보아 이 균이 섬유류 유물의 훼손에 영향을 많이 미칠 것으로 보인다 Co교nebacterium sp., Bacillus sp.등은 외부환경이나 전시실 등에서 전혀 발견되지 않았으나 유물보관함에서 발견되었다. 때문에 이 세균들은 외부환경으로부터 유입된 균이 아니라고 추정되며, 이 균들이 섬유류 유물에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 연구해 볼 필요성이 있다. 섬유의 부착세균으로는 공중 부유에서 대다수로 검출되었던 Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Neisseria spp.,등으로 공기를 통해 섬유류 유물이 오염된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

화합물을 분해하는 우수균주 개발의 기초연구로서, 대전 근교 지역의 논과 밭에서 채취한 토양 표품으로부터 100균주의 세균을 분리하였고, 그 중 2,4,5-T를 단일 탄소원으로 하는 고체 최소 배지에서 잘 자라는 균주 19균주를 선별하였다. 이들 균주를 등정한 결과 Pseudomonas속이 11균주 Acinetobacter속이 4균주, Alcaligenes속이 1균주이고 3균주는 미동정되었다. Pseudomonas속으로 밝혀진 MU19와 MU92는 네가지 염소계 화합물들(2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, MCPA 그리고 3CB)을 모두 분해하는 것으로 나타났다. 최소 액체배지에서 배양한 경우 Acinetobacter로 동정된 MU38균주가 접종 48시간 후에 가장 높은 분해도를 나타내었고, MUl9, MU57, MU73과 MU92는 그 다음으로 높은 분해도를 나타냈다. 실험결과 선별된 19균주 중 Acinetobacter sp. MU38 그리고 Pseudomonas sp. MU19과 MU92는 염소계 방향쪽 화합물에 대한 넓은 분해능을 갖고 있으며, 특히 2,4,5-T에 대한 높은 분해도를 나타내는 것으로 조사되었다.

1992년 1월부터 8월까지 해양세균과 식물플랑크톤의 상호관계를 알기 위해 미생물과 식물플랑크톤량 및 종의 분포를 조사하고 실험실에서의 세균종가 규조류인 Chaetoceros spp.의 배양에 의한 세균과의 관계를 조사하였다. 1. 전체 조사기간에 출현한 세균상증 Pseudomonas spp.가 $32.3\%$로 가장 우점했으며, bloom이 일어난 5월에 출현한 세균 중 Acinetobacter calcoaceticus와 Bacillus subtilis가 $51\%$로 우점했으며, 그 외에 Vibrio spp., Pseudomonas vesicularis가 주로 분리되었다. 2. 조사기간 동안 식물플랑크톤은 5월에 $3.3{\times}10^6cell/l$로 bloom을 형성했다. 우점종은 Chaetoceros spp.($62\%$)로 나타났으며 6월과 8월에 걸쳐 편모조류인 Prorocentrum triestinum과 Katodinum spp., Ceratium spp.가 $7.4{\times}10^3{\sim}3.2{\times}10^4$세포/l로 나타났다. 3. L1 broth의 농도에 따른 Pseudomonas vesicularis, Bacillus subtills, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Vibrio sp.의 성장을 조사한 결과 P. vesicularis는 L1 broth의 농도 증가할수록 성장이 느려지며 반대로 다른 균종은 L1 broth의 농도 증가와 함께 성장이 증가한 것으로 보아 Chaetoceros spp.의 증가가 P. vesicularis의 성장에 영향을 준 것으로 생각된다.
