대전일원의 유류오염 지역의 토양으로부터 원유를 단일 탄소원으로 이용하는 총 144균주를 순수분리 하였고, 이중 유화능과 성장률 그리고 표면장력활성이 가장 우수한 한 균주를 최종 선별하여 형태 및 생리 생화학적 특성을 조사하고 16S rRNA 염기서열을 분석을 통해 Pseudomonas sp. HN37이라 명명하였다. 최종 선별된 Pseudomonas sp. HN37는 여러 종류의 지방족 탄화수소와 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid와 2,4-dichlorophooxyacetic acid를 단일 탄소원으로 이용하여 성장하였다. 그리고 이 균주는 암피실린과 클로람페니콜 항생제와 Ba, Cr, Li, Mn 중금속에 대해 강한 내성을 갖고 있었고, pH 6.0-9.0과 $30^{\circ}C$에서 성장능과 표면장력활성, 그리고 유화능이 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 또 Pseudomonas sp. HN37는 1% (v/v) 원유 농도와 1%(w/v) NaCl에서 최대 유화능과 표면장력활성을 나타내었고, LB배지에서 배양 15시간 후에 표면장력활성이 62 dyne/cm에서 27 dyne/cm까지 감소하였다.

A bacterial isolate showing a strong endochitosanase activity was isolated from soil and then characterized. The isolate was identified and designated as Bacillus cereus P16, based on morphological and biochemical properties, assimilation tests, cellular fatty acids pattern, along with 16S rRNA gene sequence. The optimized medium for producing extracellular chitosanase in a batch culture contained 1% tryptone, 0.5% chitosan, and 1% NaCl (pH 7.0). Powder chitosan and tryptone served the best as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, for the chitosanase production. Chitosanase activity was the highest when culture was completed at $37^{\circ}C$ among various temperatures ($20-42^{\circ}C$) tested in a shaking incubator (200 rpm). The levels of chitosanase activity in the culture fluid were 2.0 U/ml and 3.8 U/ml, respectively, when incubated in a flask for 60 h and in a jar fermenter for 24 h. The culture supernatant showed a strong liquefying activity on the soluble chitosan. The viscosity of 1% chitosan solution, that was incubated with the culture supernatant, was rapidly decreased, suggesting the secretion of endochitosanolytic enzymes by P16. The culture fluid revealed six endo-type chitosanase isozymes, two major (38 and 45 kD), and four minor (54, 65, 82, and 96 kD) forms by staining profile. The crude enzymes were very stable, and full activity was maintained for 4 weeks at $4^{\circ}C\;or\;-20^{\circ}C$ in the culture supernatant, suggesting a highly desirable stability rate for making an industrial application of the crude enzymes. The supernatant also cleaved the insoluble chitosan powder, but the hydrolysis rate was much lower. The enzymic degradation products of chitosan contained $(GlcN)_n$ (n=2-8). The concentration of chitosan in the reaction mixture of the crude enzyme affected the chitooligosaccharides composition of the hydrolysis products. When the higher concentration of chitosan was used, the higher degree of polymerized chitooligosaccharides were produced. By comparison with other commercial chitosanase preparations, P16 was indeed found to be a valuable enzyme source for industrial production of chitooligosaccharides from chitosan.

Polymicrobial nature of diabetic foot infection has been well documented in the literature. Initial antibiotic therapy of diabetic foot infection is usually empiric until reliable culture data is shown. This study was carried out to determine the common bacteriological flora of diabetic foot infection and antimicrobial sensitivity pattern in order to enhance possible empiric treatment. The specimens were obtained from wounds of 207 cases of diabetic foot ulcer, and the bacteriological isolation, and antimicrobial susceptibility tests of the isolates were carried out by standard microbiological methods. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common isolate, with 46.2% of recover rate among total bacterial isolated cases. Among gram-negative organisms, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was most common. Gram-positive organisms showed significant susceptibility to clindamycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and levofloxacin, besides vancomycin. Cefoperazone, piperacillin/tazobactam, and amikacin in addition to imipenem were most effective agents compared to gram-negative organisms. Diabetic foot infection requires use of combined antimicrobial therapy for initial management. Our results indicate that the most effective antibiotic combination for diabetic foot infection of Korean patients is clindamycin plus cefoperazone.

A 12-year-old, castrated male, mixed-breed dog was referred to us with a history of depression, lameness, neck and multiple joints pain. Clinical signs had been deteriorating from rear limbs lameness leading to pain on all four limbs lameness for 7 days. Mild leukocytosis and increased C-reactive protein concentration were revealed in blood work. On radiography, degenerative change of humerus and cervical intervertebral space narrowing were found. The results of synovial fluid analysis revealed severe neutrophilic pleocytosis, decreased viscosity, increased turbidity and bacterial culture was negative. The antinuclear antibody test was negative and MRI results revealed mild cervical intervertebral disk disease (IVDD). Based on all tests, we diagnosed this case as idiopathic immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA). Prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil were administered and clinical signs were resolved after 7 days. This case report demonstrated that clinical, diagnostic imaging and synovial fluid analysis findings and successful treatment result with prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil in canine idiopathic IMPA.

이 연구는 3가지 유형의 식중독균인 E. coli O157:H7, S. aureus 그리고 V. parahaemolyticus의 in vitro를 통해 461 nm LED의 살균효과를 입증하였다. Bacterial cultures는 약 $15^{\circ}C$에서 10시간동안 LED에 노출되었다. 3종의 E. coli, ATCC 8739, ATCC 43894, ATCC 35150 과 3 종의 S. aureus, ATCC 43300, ATCC 19095, ATCC 27664의 bacteria cultures는 각각 461 nm LED에서 10시간 조사된 후 평균적으로 6, 2.5, 6, 2.5, 2, 1.5 log CFU/mL 감소하였다(p<0.05). 반면에 V. parahaemolyticus, ATCC 43969는 461 nm에서 4시간 노출된 후 6 log CFU/mL 감소하였다. 이 결과는 그람양성균과 그람음성균 모두 불활성화 되었으며 461 nm LED 노출에 의해 그람양성균보다 그람음성균이 더 민감함을 보여준다. 그러므로 이 결과는 LED의 사용이 식품보존과 응용기술로써 잠재력이 있음을 나타낸다.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) membranes incorporated with antimicrobial agents regarding cytotoxicity in fibroblasts of the periodontal ligament (PDLF), antimicrobial activity, and inhibition of multispecies biofilm formation. Materials and Methods: The tested BNC membranes were BNC + 1% clindamycin (BNC/CLI); BNC + 0.12% chlorhexidine (BNC/CHX); BNC + nitric oxide (BNC/NO); and conventional BNC (BNC; control). After PDLF culture, the BNC membranes were positioned in the wells and maintained for 24 hours. Cell viability was then evaluated using the MTS calorimetric test. Antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis, Actinomyces naeslundii, and Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis) was evaluated using the agar diffusion test. To assess the antibiofilm activity, BNC membranes were exposed for 24 hours to the mixed culture. After sonicating the BNC membranes to remove the remaining biofilm and plating the suspension on agar, the number of colony-forming units (CFU)/mL was determined. Data were analyzed by 1-way analysis of variance and the Tukey, Kruskal-Wallis, and Dunn tests (α = 5%). Results: PDLF metabolic activity after contact with BNC/CHX, BNC/CLI, and BNC/NO was 35%, 61% and 97%, respectively, compared to BNC. BNC/NO showed biocompatibility similar to that of BNC (p = 0.78). BNC/CLI showed the largest inhibition halos, and was superior to the other BNC membranes against S. sanguinis (p < 0.05). The experimental BNC membranes inhibited biofilm formation, with about a 3-fold log CFU reduction compared to BNC (p < 0.05). Conclusions: BNC/NO showed excellent biocompatibility and inhibited multispecies biofilm formation, similarly to BNC/CLI and BNC/CHX.

There is evidence to suggest that cranberry juice supplements improve the health of the urinary tract by inhibiting the binding of fimbriated uropathogenic E. coli to the bladder mucosa. In patients with neurogenic bladders, urinary tract infections (UTI) are particularly common and often poorly managed by antibiotic treatment. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was undertaken on 29 geriatric and spinal cord injured patients with dysfunctional bladders. They received three times daily at mealtimes a 4 oz bottle of cranberry juice (Ocean Spray Cranberries, USA) or a specially prepared synthetic placebo drink. Two episodes of UTI arose in week one of cranberry intake and none thereafter, compared to four episodes of UTI in 4 placebo patients in weeks four, six and 10. Mean bacterial adhesion counts on bladder cells of the patients rose during the first month of treatment in 71 % of the placebo patients compared to only 31 % of cranberry patients (p < 0.001). The difference persisted to some extent for the second and third months. Bacterial adhesion levels correlated with culture findings (higher adhesion and higher viable counts in urine) (p < 0.001), positive leukocyte nitrite tests (136$\pm$131 bacteria per cell versus 52$\pm$86 in negative tests) (p < 0.001), and higher white blood cell counts (> 10) per high power field (126$\pm$125 versus 48$\pm$85 bacteria per cell) (p<0.001). E. coli was the most frequently isolated organism (40% samples) followed by K. pneumoniae (17%) and a number of other uropathogens. Group B Streptococci, and coagulase negative Staphylococcus were recovered from urine in 4 samples but were not associated with any red blood cell presence. The daily intake of cranberry juice, in amounts which are not detrimental to long term compliance, appeared to have a role in reducing the risk of bladder colonization and infection in a highly susceptible patient population.
