  • In this study, the changes in microbial communities of lamb meat packaged in the air (plastic tray, PT) and in a vacuum pouch (VAC) were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) during the storage at $4^{\circ}C$. For the PT lamb, the total viable count (TVC) was $10^7CFU/g$ on Day 5, and the dominated bacteria were Pseudomonas fragi, P. fluorescens, and Acinetobacter spp. For the VAC lamb, the TVC was $10^7CFU/g$ on Day 9, and the dominated bacteria were lactic acid bacteria, including Carnobacterium divergens, C. maltaromaticum, and Lactococcus piscium. One strain of Pseudomonas spp. also appeared in VAC lamb. The relative abundance of Enterobacteriaceae in VAC lamb was higher than that PT lamb, indicating a more important role of Enterobacteriaceae in spoilage for VAC lamb than that of PT lamb. The microbial compositions changed faster in the lamb stored in a PT than that stored in a VAC, and microbial community compositions of the late storage period were largely different from those of the early storage period for both the conditions. The findings of this study may guide improve the lamb hygiene and prolong the shelf life of the lamb.

  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infections in different age groups, including children. Bacteria are the main etiological agents of UTIs. The aim of the present study was to isolate, identify, and determine the antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolated from children with UTIs from Baghdad, Iraq. Three hundred and two urine samples were collected from children aged 6 months to 12 years. The samples were cultured on blood agar and MacConkey agar. The selected colonies were subjected to biochemical tests and antibiotic susceptibility analysis using the Vitek® 2 Compact automated microbial identification system. In this sample, 299 bacteria were identified, of which, 267 were gram-negative bacteria, and 32 were gram-positive bacteria. Escherichia coli (56%) was the most commonly isolated gram-negative bacteria, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14%), Enterobacter spp. (10.48%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (9.36%), Proteus spp. (7.8%), Acinetobacter baumannii (1.5%), and Morganella morganii (0.37%). Enterococcus faecalis (62.5%) was the most commonly detected gram-positive bacteria, followed by Staphylococcus aureus (37.5%). E. coli and P. aeruginosa were the most antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Among the tested antibiotics, meropenem showed 100% sensitivity, followed by imipenem (97.4%), amikacin (91.8%), and tobramycin (83.5%). In contrast, the high frequencies of resistance were observed with cefixime (93.2%), cefotaxime (78.7%), and ceftriaxone/cefotaxime (71.2%). In conclusion, carbapenems and aminoglycosides are highly recommended for the empirical treatment of UTIs, while, Quinolones, penicillins, and cephalosporins are not suggested. Frequent antibiotics susceptibility testing are warranted to determine the resistance pattern of UTI bacteria.

  • The unnatural dead body refers to a corpse which is suspicious of unusual death and the dead case has been occurred more than 20 thousands times every year during the recent five years and most of them are found decayed. Police Scientific Investigators investigate unnatural dead bodies and its surroundings in all-around way and determine whether the death is involved with a crime, and most of the Scientific Investigators are exposed to a danger to get infected with pathogenic bacteria which are generated during the decaying process of dead body and are mostly to cause serious injuries on human beings. In line with the fact, the present study conducted a bacterial analysis by collecting excretions from 60 dead bodies and culturing the bacteria to evaluate infection risk of the police agents. The study cultured bacteria from 60 bodies and classified pathogenic bacteria of 108 strains, and its main bacteria are found to be them (; Acinetobacter baumannii 20 strains (19%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 19 strains (18%), E. coli 18 strains (17%), Klebsiella pneumoniae 11 strains (10%), Proteus mirabillis 10 strains (9%), Enterococcus faecium 10 strains (9%), Staphylococcus aureus 9 strains (8%), Bacillus spp. 5 strains (5%), Streptococcus pneumoniae 3 strains (3%), Candida albicans 2 strains (2%), Mycobacterium tuberculosis 1 strains (1%)). The study results are expected to be used as educational data for preventing the Police Scientific Investigator from infections with bacteria or as a minimum data for improving work environment of the agents.

  • This study was aimed to isolation and identification of attached bacteria on the clothes excavated from Deajeon area dating on the 16th century. From the observation with colony shape, 17 bacterial strains were isolated, and then 7 bacterial strains were identified with morphological and biochemical characteristics. Streptococcus sp., Alcaligenes faecalis, Gemella sp., Acinetobacter sp., Pseudomonas vesicularis, Aeromonas sain. salmonicida, Moraxella spp. In observation of the bacterial strains by the sort of textile, more bacterial strains were found in silk, cotton, and cotton batt than in ramie and hemp. It is suggest that hemp has antibacterial characteristics due to the presence of lignin. In the comparison washed samples with unwashed ones, there were more kinds of bacterial strains in washed samples. In the cellulase activity tests, all isolated bacteria had low level cellulase activity.

  • Oomycete pathogens that belong to the genus Phytophthora cause devastating diseases in solanaceous crops such as pepper, potato, and tobacco, resulting in crop production losses worldwide. Although the application of fungicides efficiently controls these diseases, it has been shown to trigger negative side effects such as environmental pollution, phytotoxicity, and fungicide resistance in plant pathogens. Therefore, biological control of Phytophthora-induced diseases was proposed as an environmentally sound alternative to conventional chemical control. In this review, progress on biological control of the soilborne oomycete plant pathogens, Phytophthora capsici, Phytophthora infestans, and Phytophthora nicotianae, infecting pepper, potato, and tobacco is described. Bacterial (e.g., Acinetobacter, Bacillus, Chryseobacterium, Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas, and Streptomyces) and fungal (e.g., Trichoderma and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) agents, and yeasts (e.g., Aureobasidium, Curvibasidium, and Metschnikowia) have been reported as successful biocontrol agents of Phytophthora pathogens. These microorganisms antagonize Phytophthora spp. via antimicrobial compounds with inhibitory activities against mycelial growth, sporulation, and zoospore germination. They also trigger plant immunity-inducing systemic resistance via several pathways, resulting in enhanced defense responses in their hosts. Along with plant protection, some of the microorganisms promote plant growth, thereby enhancing their beneficial relations with host plants. Although the beneficial effects of the biocontrol microorganisms are acceptable, single applications of antagonistic microorganisms tend to lack consistent efficacy compared with chemical analogues. Therefore, strategies to improve the biocontrol performance of these prominent antagonists are also discussed in this review.

  • 우리나라 미역양식의 발상지인 동해남부연안의 미역양식장에서 세균성이라고 생각되는 미역녹반증과징소갑각류의 기생에 연한 바늘구멍증, 미역 속구멍증 등의 병충해와 계장홍조류인 플리시포니아의 착생에 인한 피해를 확인할 수 있었다. 1. 김 녹반증과 유사한 녹색의 반점이 미역엽상체의 하반부에 나타나서 점차 확대되면서 반점의 조직이 붕괴하여 녹색의 테두리를 가진 구멍이 엽면에 생긴다. 엽상체 끝 부분의 구명은 더욱 확대 유합하여 끝 녹음을 조장하는 결과가 된다. 이 병증은 동일양식장에서도 중심부일수록 피해가심하고 주녹부, 특히 외해쪽은 피해가 적었다. 이 병증이 있는 엽체는 외관상 건전한 엽체보다 $70\sim100$배 더 세균에 오탁되어 있었으며 병증이 있는 엽체에서 분리된 세균중에서 다음 여에 속하는 균주가 많았다. Moraxella, Acromobacter, Vibrio, Flavobacterium, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas. 2. 엽체에 1열로 동일간격으로 $5\sim10$개의 미세한 바늘구멍을 여기 저기에 볼 수 있었고 이들 바늘구멍이 다소 불규칙하게 모여 있는 것도 희구했다. 이것은 요각류인 Harpacticoid의 1종인 Thalestris sp.의 기생에 의한 것이다. 이 기생이 발견되었던 초기는 3월경에 나타났었으나 점차 출현시기가 앞당겨져서 지금은 전등의 12월부터 출현한다. 3. 단각류의 1종인 미역속별레, Ceinina japonica Stephesen이 중륵에 기생하여 엽상체 유실의 원인도 되고 심한 것은 중륵에서 종으로 엽상체가 2분되는 것도 있었다. 이것은 양식말기에 주로 나타난다. 4. 조간대 암상에 생육하는 폴리시포니아 Polysiphonia spp.가 종연와 함께 씨줄에 다수 착생하였다가 양식장에서 미역 유아와 경합을 하여 미역 착생면을 차지하여 피해를 준다. 끝으로 본 조사는 1980등도 문교부연구조성비로 수행되었으며, 세균을 분리동정해 주신 장동석 교수와그의 교실원에 감사한다.

  • A two-step broad-range PCR method detecting gram-negative bacteria at the level as low as 2 CFU was developed by using primers of GNFI and GNRI and then semi-nested primer of GNF2 and GNRI. The nucleotide sequences of the primers were determined based on l6S rRNA gene. The DNA fragments of 1173 bp and 169 bp were amplified in one-step PCRs with primer sets of GNFI-GNRI and GNF2-GNRl, respectively, using template DNA from seven strains of gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas spp., and Acinetobacter baumaii but not from Achromobacter lyticus, Alca/igens faecalis, and five strains of gram-positive bacteria. DNA fragments of 180 bp were amplified from LTLT-pasteurized milk and UHf-pasteurized milk in the two-step PCR. The DNA fragments were amplified from LTLT-pasteurized milk which was added with Pseudomonas j/uorescens and subsequently heated at 65 $^{\circ}C$, 80 $^{\circ}C$, and 100 $^{\circ}C$ for 30 min but they were not amplified from the milk autoclaved at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. It was suggested in PCR that Pseudomonas fluorescens heated at 65 $^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in milk was more sensitive to DNase treatment than viable bacteria.

  • Little study has been published specifically addressing the dynamics of nitrate reducing bacteria (NBR) during the bioremediation of nitrate-contaminated aquifer. In our previous study we successfully quantified fumarate-enhanced microbial nitrate reduction rate in a nitrate-contaminated aquifer by using a series of single-well push-pull tests (PPTs). In this study we analyzed the suspended population during PPTs. To monitor changes in the microbial community, PCR amplification of 16S rDNA genes and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) were used to study the dynamics of the bacterial community in detail. Before the stimulation of NBR, the dominant DGGE bands obtained by PCR were affiliated with V-Proteobacteria consisting of Acinetobacter spp. and Pseudomonas fluorescens. However, as NBR biostimulation proceeded, the dominant patterns of DGGE bands changed, and they were affiliated with Azoarcus denitrificans Td-3 and Flavobacterium xanthum. Azoarcus denitrificans Td-3 is known to completely reduce nitrate to nitrogen gas. The series of single-well push-pull tests in this study should prove useful for conducting rapid, low-cost feasibility assessments for in situ denitrification and provide important information about which microorganisms play a key role in bioremediation of a nitrate contaminated aquifer.

  • Chlorine dioxide is an effective chemical to inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses or to disinfect infected areas. In this study, the effects of chlorine dioxide on several bacteria in hospitals were analyzed. Alloiococcus otitis, Kocuria rosea, Leuconostoc mesenteroides spp. and Staphylococcus lentus as gram-positive bacteria and Acinetobacter lwoffii, Aeromonas salmonicida, Brucella melitensis, Oligella ureolytica as gram-negative bacteria were done for the inhibitory analysis. The growth and morphology of the bacteria were analyzed by placing a plastic stick which was called "FarmeTok (medistick/Puristic)" provided by Purgofarm, co, Ltd. to release ClO2 (13 ppmv/hr) next to the plate where the bacteria were incubated for 24 hours. Less than 10 bacterial colonies were evaluated as having 99% inhibitory effect. The initial bacterial culture concentration of 0.5 McFaland turbidity was good for analyzing the chlorine dioxide inhibitory effect. All bacteria could be easily counted post 24 hr co-incubation with ClO2, but A. otitis and A. lwoffii without ClO2 gas were not countable due to very dispersed colony types which were not affected for result analysis. As shown in this study, the FarmeTok plastic stick, which discharges chlorine dioxide at 13 ppmv / hour, was evaluated to be sufficient to suppress the above bacteria in the hospital. Bacteria existing in the clinic such as this hospital will be used as a data to inhibit the growth of bacteria by using ClO2, and molecular biology analysis using the gene of bacteria will be possible in the future rather than inhibiting the growth of bacteria itself.
