  • A immunological survey of paratuberculosis in dairy and Korean native cattles was conducted by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), complement fixation test(CFT), agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID) and intradermal skin test(ID). Over all prevalence of pararuberculosis in cattles was 6.7%(109/1633) by ID, 7.5(205/2719) by AGID, 9.3% (245/2641) by CFT and 13.4%(363/2719) by ELISA. Prevalence in dairy cattle was higher than that of Korean native cattle. Of 70 ELISA-positive cattle, 23(28.6%) and 48(68.6%) cattles were classified as positive in the AGID and positive or suspect in CFT, respectively. Of 92 ELISA-suspect cattle, 32(34.9%) and 48(52.2%) cattles were classified as AGID-positive and CFT-positive or suspect, respectively. It was concluded that paratuberculosis is widespread in cattle of Korea.

  • Unlike most Escherichia coli strains, E coli O157 : H7 didn't ferment sorbitol within 24h of incubation and showed a negative reaction for $\beta$-glucuronidase. We developed a new medium for the rapid isolation of E coli O157 : H7 using sorbitol MacConkey agar with cefixime, potassium tellurite and 4-methylumbelliferyl-${\beta}$-D-glucuronide (MUG) as a primary plating medium. The addition of $20{\mu}g/ml$ of vancomycin in enrichment broth for E coli O157 : H7 inhibited lots of Gram positive bacteria. Three strains (10.3%) of 29 non-O157 E coli strains and 3 strains (8.3%) of 36 Salmonella spp were inhibited at the $0.05{\mu}g/ml$ of cefixime and 23 strains (79.3%) of 29 non-O157 E coli strains and 12 strains (33.3%) of 36 Salmonella spp were inhibited at the $2.0{\mu}g/ml$ of potassium tellurite. But none of the E coli O157 : H7 was affected at these concentration. The addition of MUG at $100{\mu}g/ml$ level to sorbitol MacConkey agar with cefixime and potassium tellurite (CTM-SMAC) aided in the rapid isolation of E coli O157 : H7 from samples by checking sorbitol-negative and $\beta$-glucuronidase negative phenotypes simultaneously. In conclusion, inoculation of a positive in the O157 screening test from enrichment broth on CTM-SMAC appeared to be a rapid, cost-effective and sensitive method for the isolation of E coli O157 : H7.
