Antibiotics polymer prepared by chemical bonding and simple blending of antibacterial into polymers have attracted much interest because of their long-lasting and antibacterial activity. Antibiotics polymer can significantly reduce losses associated with dissolution, photolytic decomposition and volatillization. Further more, increased efficiency safety and selectivity are additional benefits which may be realized. In this study, Antibiotics polymer was synthesized by chemical reaction of polyacrylic acid with sulfamethazine by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide(DCC) method. Antibacterial susceptibility was determined against Streptococcus pyrogenes[gram(+)] and Esherichia coli.[gram(-)] using a standardized disc test. As a result, the synthetic antibiotics polymer exhibited the broad susceptibilty against Streptococcus pyrogenes and Esherichia coli. Especially, the antibiotic effect of antibacterial polymer against Gram negative(Esherichia coli) was much stronger than that against Gram positive(Streptococcus pyrogenes).

This study was performed to evaluate antibacterial performance antibiotics(RCF-95, Antibio-C) which could control biochemical corrosion of concrete used sewage facilities by sulfate oxidizing bacteria. As antibacterial methods, Broth MIC testing was used for investigating controlled growth effect of sulfate oxidizing bacteria. Also, color-changed testing by indicator was used for confirming between $H_{2}SO_{4}$ diffusion rate by bacteria and antibiotics. It confirmed that Antibio-C was superior to RCF-95 in the antibacterial performance and hence anticipated that this developed Antibio-C was enough to replace imported antibiotics from Japan.

Bloodstream infections (BSI) are caused by planktonic microorganisms, sometimes leading to serious infections such as bacteremia and sepsis. BSI occurs more frequently to the patients wearing the central venous catheter (CVC). The ciprofloxacin-incorporated CVC (CFX-CVC) has been reported previously to possess antimicrobial activity. In this study, the antibacterial activity of CFX-CVC and its mechanism against planktonic BSI cells were explored by using the shake flask test and by examining the release rate of 260 nm-absorbing substances from the bacterial cells indicative of the membrane damage of the bacterial cells. CFX-CVC reduced more than 99.9% of the viable planktonic BSI cells demonstrating its potent antibacterial activity. It provoked bacteriolysis causing leakage of a large amount of 260 nm-absorbing materials from the planktonic bacterial cells like S. aureus and E. coli. These results provide evidence that the antibacterial activity of CFX-CVC came from the inhibition of the stability of the planktonic bacterial cells.

In this study, chitosan obtained after varying extents of deacetylation (i.e., 10%, 30%, and 47%) was employed to introduce antibacterial properties to chitin. The deacetylation reaction completion, wherein the amino group content of chitin was reduced, was ascertained from the FT-IR and NMR analyses. The 47%-deacetylated chitosan exhibited superior antibacterial properties against Bacillus in a disk diffusion test. To further improve these properties, chitosan derivatives were grafted by acrylic acid and acrylamide. The varying concentrations of carboxyl groups, primary amines, and -CH₂-CH₂- with increasing acrylic acid and acrylamide contents were determined by FT-IR and NMR analyses. The enhanced antibacterial properties of the chitosan derivatives, owing to the increased acrylic acid and acrylamide contents, were revealed by the disk diffusion test. In particular, the derivatives with 1.3% acrylic acid and acrylamide showed the highest antibacterial activity, the bacterial reduction rate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli being 99.9%, as observed through the ASTM E2149 standard test.

When 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR) incorporated silk mat is used for clinical application, sterilization process is essential. In this study, 4HR incorporated silk mat was sterilized with ethylene oxide (EO) gas or autoclave, and then antibacterial property was evaluated. For the examination of micro-structure after the sterilization, scanning electron microscopic (SEM) exam and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were also done. There was no gross difference after sterilization in SEM exam and FT-IR spectra. Antibacterial property of 4HR was also maintained after the sterilization. In conclusion, EO gas or autoclave did not damage the antibacterial property of 4HR in the silk mat.

In this study, we tried to examine the possibility of developing a dental product such as tooth decay prevention and oral hygiene by manufacturing a natural polymer film for oral use. Natural polymer films were prepared from shark byproduct extract (SBE) and gellan gum (GG). As an antibacterial substance, the antibacterial activity of green tea extract against tooth decay-causing bacteria was measured. An film was prepared by adding green tea extract to the composition of SBE and GG. The mechanical, solubility, moisture content and antibacterial function of the prepared film were investigated in detail. Also, the incorporation of GTE into the SBE/GG film improved the physical performance of the film. Increasing the content of GTE improved the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of the film. Formulation of antimicrobial SBE/GG film containing green tea extract was established and these results evidently showed potential for cavity prevention products application.

In this study, antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of the extracts from pericarp and seed of $Vitis$ $coignetiea$, which were extracted with 0.1% HCl-60% ethanol, were analyzed. The antibacterial activity of the extracts was determined by paper disc diffusion method against food spoilage and food-borne pathogens. The pericarp extract showed high antibacterial activity against $Bacillus$ $cereus$, $Escherichia$ $coli$ O157:H7, and $Pseudomonas$ $aeruginosa$, and the seed extract represented the high antibacterial activity against $B.$ $cereus$, $E.$ $coli$ O157:H7, and $Staphylococcus$ $aureus$. The cytotoxicity of the $Vitis$ $coignetiea$ extract against human cancer cells was determined using the MTT assay and SRB assay. The pericarp extract represented strong growth-inhibition activity against G361 and Hep3B cells and the seed extract greatly inhibited the growth of HeLa and G361 cells in the MTT assay. In addition, the pericarp extract displayed a high inhibition activity against the growth of AGS cells and the seed extract greatly inhibited the growth of HeLa, Hep3B, and MCF7 cells in the SRB assay. Especially, the cytotoxicities of the seed extract against HeLa were significantly higher than those of the extract against other cancer cells at all test concentrations. This study demonstrates that the extract from pericarp and seed of $Vitis$ $coignetiea$ possess high antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study is to compare the antibacterial activity of currently purchasable denture cleansers against Candida albicans. Materials and methods: This study used tablet-type denture cleansers, PolidentⓇ, CoolingdentⓇ and FittydentⓇ, along with liquid denture cleansers, HexamedineⓇ, ListerineⓇ and Apple vinegarⓇ. The antibacterial activities of denture cleansers were evaluated based on the number of C. albicans and concentrations of the denture cleansers. Results. In the 0.5 × 106 cfu/㎖ culture medium, the C. albicans' death rate of PolidentⓇ was significantly lower than those of FittydentⓇ, HexamedineⓇ, ListerineⓇ, and Apple vinegarⓇ(P<.05). In the 0.5 × 107 cfu/, the C. albicans' death rates of PolidentⓇ and CoolingdentⓇ were significantly lower than those of FittydentⓇ, HexamedineⓇ, ListerineⓇ and Apple vinegarⓇ(P<.05). The C. albicans' death rates of PolidentⓇ and CoolingdentⓇ were significantly decreased at 0.02 g and 0.01 g. The C. albicans' death rate of FittydentⓇ was significantly decreased at 0.005 g (P<.05). The C. albicans' death rate of HexamedineⓇ was significantly decreased at 1/16 dilution. The C. albicans' death rate of ListerineⓇ was decreased at 1/8 dilution, and the antibacterial activity of Apple vinegarⓇ was decreased at 1/4 dilution (P<.05). Conclusion. As the number of C. albicans increased, the antibacterial activities of the denture cleansers decrease. In the tablet-type denture cleanser, all denture cleansers showed 100% C. albicans' death rate when used at a dose of 1 tablet. One denture cleanser showed the same antibacterial effect with only 1/3 of a tablet. In the liquid type denture cleanser, the level of dilution required was different for each denture cleanser.

Methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a gram-positive bacterium, the most commonly isolated bacterial human pathogen. JiYu-san is one of the natural products used to treat diseases in the folk recipe. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial activity of EtOH 70% extracts of JiYu-san (JYS) against MRSA. The antibacterial activity of JYS against MRSA strain was evaluated using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), checkerboard dilution test, and time-kill assay. The effect of JYS on the immune mechanism of MRSA was confirmed through cell membrane permeability tests and energy metabolism tests, and the antibacterial activity mechanism was performed using qRT-PCR and western blot. As a result, in the antibacterial test of JYS, the MIC was measured to be 1.9~1000 ㎍/mL, and synergistic or showed a partial synergistic effect. In addition, JYS showed antibacterial activity in a combination test with DCCD or TX-100. In a study on the mechanism of action of antibacterial activity, it was found that JYS suppressed MRSA resistance genes and proteins. These results suggest that JYS has antibacterial activity and provides great potential as a natural antibiotic by modulating the immune mechanism against MRSA.
