Prunus mume has been used for the folk medicine by many old civilizations to treat food-borne diseases or enteric disorders. This study was carried out to examine the antimicrobial effect of juice from Prunus mume against pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus. The juice of Prunus mume had the strongest antimicrobial activity to Sal. enteritidis. The concentrations of Prunus mume juice for the formation of clear zone were 1% for Sai. enteritidis(15.0mm), 3% for Lis. monocytogenes(14.7mm), and 5% for Bac. cereus(14.75mm), Esc. coli(13.45mm) and Sta. aureux(11.9mm). The growth of all tested microorganisms was inhibited apparently in tryptic soy broth containing 3% and 4% Prunus mume juice. And it was found that the Prunus mume juice showed the highest antimicrobial properties, followed by Sal. enteritidis, Bac. cereus, Sta. aureus, Lis. monocytogenes, Esc. coli.

The antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Roselle) powder against various food-borne pathogens was tested using the lawn diffusion assay. The results showed that the ethanol extract exhibited antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (total inhibition), Salmonella enteritidis (partial inhibition), Listeria monocytogenes (partial inhibition), Escherichia coli (partial inhibition), Cronobacter sakazakii (partial inhibition), and Bacillus cereus (partial inhibition). Therefore, it is strongly recommended that Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Roselle) should be considered for use as a natural food-grade additive for the inhibition of various food-borne pathogens, including both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens, and the improvement of the overall quality of various dairy products, including milk.

The antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract of Cornus officinalis against some bacteria related to foodborne illness and food spoilage was investigated. In the case of the disc diffusion assay, clear zones due to the inhibition of proliferation by Cornus officinalis extract were 8.5~18.3 mm at $4,000{\mu}g/disc$. The inhibitory effect of Cornus officinalis was as follows: Escherichia. coli ${\geq}$ Listeria monocytogenes ${\geq}$ E. coli O157:H7 > Bacillus cereus > Staphylococcus aureus > Pseudomonas aeruginosa > Salmonella typhimurium. In addition, the MIC of Cornus officinalis extract toward B. cereus was the lowest at 1,000 ppm. The extract inhibited the growth of E. coli, L. monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7, and Bacillus cereus throughout the growth stage. However, the growth of P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and S. typhimurium was only inhibited by the extract during the lag phase. The constituents of all cells tested were released, especially E. coli and E. coli O157:H7. Observation of the cells using SEM demonstrated a morphological change and disruption of cells in response to treatment with Cornus officinalis extract. Based on these findings, the ethanol extracts of Cornus officinalis showed strong antimicrobial activity against all tested bacteria, indicating that Cornus officinalis can be a useful natural antimicrobial reagent.

육류중에 잔류하는 항생물질 및 항균제를 검출하기 위해 본 실험에서는 3종의 균주 Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341, BAcillus cereus var. mycoides ATCC 11778을 사용하여 실험하였다. 시료의 clean-up은 항생·항균제의 물리화학적 성질을 고려하여 우선 McIlvaine buffer를 가하여 homogenize하고 hexane으로 defatting 시킨 후, chloroform으로 추출한 액과 Sep-Pak C18과 Bakerbond SPE carboxylic acid column에 흡착시킨 후 추출한 액을 각각 시험용액 A, B, C,로 하였다. 각 test solution을 paper disk를 사용하여 함균 배지에 올려놓고 overnight culture 후 inhibition pattern을 통해 여러 종류의 항생·항균제를 계통적으로 검출하였다. 본 실험에서 macrolide계와 tetracycline계 등은 0.1ppm 이하의 detection limit을 보였으며, penicillinrP는 0.001ppm이하의 높은 detection limit을 나타내므로서 시료중에 잔류하는 극미량까지도 검출할 수 있었다. 본 방법은 식육중의 잔류 항생·항균제를 동시에 간단하게 계통적으로 분류하는데 있어 좋은 방법이라고 생각되며 항생·항균제의 체계적인 1차 screening 수단으로서 유용한 방법이라 사료된다.

The present study was carried out for research and development of natural antimicrobial from extract of Stachys sieboldii MIQ against food borne bacteria. The hexane extract of Stachys sieboldii MIQ at 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ per disc showed 15 ~ 20 mm inhibition zone against gram positive and gram negative barteria. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of hexane extract was 250${\mu}g$/$m\ell$against Bacillus cereus, 250~500${\mu}g$/$m\ell$against Listeria monocytogenes, 500${\mu}g$/$m\ell$ against Staphylococcus aureus, Psedomonas aeruginosa. Observation by transmission electron microscope, showed that disruption of the cell wall assumed to be due to the bactericidal activity. In addition, the membrane integrity of the sensitive cells was disrupted by exposure to Stachys sieboldii MIQ extract on the D-$\beta$-galatosidase activity as substrate of O-nitrophenol-$\beta$-D-galacto-pyranoside. The hexane extract of Stachys sieboldii MIQ was very stable on the pH and thermal stability.

In this study, we isolated and identified bacteria from freshwater and soil collected from Osang reservoir, to screen antimicrobial bacteria against various pathogenic bacteria. 38 strains were isolated and assigned to the class Proteobacteria (22 strains), Actinobacteria (7 strains), Bacteroidets (6 strains), and Firmicutes (3 strains) based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Among them, strain OS17 showed a good growth inhibition against 5 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus strains and Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Filobasidium neoformans. As a result of the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain OS17 show the high similarity with Burkholderia ambifaria $AMMD^T$, B. diffusa $AM747629^T$, B. tettitorii $LK023503^T$ 99.8%, 99.7%, 99.6%, respectively. We investigated cell growth and antimicrobial activity according to commercial culture medium, temperature, pH for culture optimization of strain OS17. Optimal conditions for growth and antimicrobial activity in strain OS17 were found to be: YPD medium, $35^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.5. When the strain was cultured in LB, NB, TSB, R2A media at $20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, the antimicrobial activity did not show. Culture filtrate of strain OS17 showed antimicrobial activity against 5 MRSA strains, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, and Filobasidium neoformans with inhibition zones from 2 to 8 mm. Optimal reaction time was 48 h in YPD medium, 100 rpm and 0.3 vvm in 2 L-scale fed-batch fermentation process for antimicrobial activity. Culture optimization of strain OS17 can be improved on antimicrobial activity. Therefore, the antimicrobial activity of Burkholderia sp. OS17 had potential as antibiotics for pathogens including MRSA.

This study was investigated the antibacterial activities of Cirsium japonicum from extracts five regions(Chungnam, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Jeju and Jeonnam) extract against six food-borne pathogenes(Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica and Vibrio vulnificus) using the broth dilution and agar diffusion method. At concentrations between 0 and $750{\mu}g/mL$ the extracts showed an antibacterial effect against all tested bacteria. The antibacterial activities of Cirsium japonicum from Jeju and Gangwon are stronger than others. The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) values against the six bacteria ranged from 93.75 to $750{\mu}g/mL$. In time killing assay(cell growth curves), the tested bacteria inactivated upon exposure to the extracts for 24h. At the 24h exposure to the extracts, all bacteria were inhibited to over 70% for growth. In particular, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella enterica and Vibrio vulnificus conveyed an inhibition of growth to almost complete. It is anticipated that Cirsium japonicum extracts may have greater potential as natural food preservatives.
