Mycobacterium은 느리게 성장한다. 따라서 고체배지는 8주, 액체배지는 6주 동안 사용하여야 한다. 이 연구의 목적은 Mycobacterium을 빠르게 성장시킬 수 있는 성장 인자를 찾고, 신속한 동정을 위한 고체배지를 개발하는 데 도움을 주는 것이다. $Difco^{TM}$ Mycobacteria 7H11 agar (Becton, Dickinson and Company)에 activated charcoal, defibrinated sheep blood, L-ascorbic acid를 첨가하여 10종의 Mycobacteria 가지고 Mycobacterium 성장 인자 3가지를 평가하였다. 집락의 검출 시간 및 판독 용이성을 현재의 방법과 비교하였다. 빠르게 성장하는 Mycobacterium 있어 새로운 배지와 기존의 배지에서 검출 시간의 차이는 새로운 배지가 더 빠르다는 것을 확인시켜 주었다. M. kansasii와 M. intracelluare는 7H11 배지보다 7H11 C 배지에서 더 빠르게 자라는 것으로 확인되었다. MTB는 7H11 C 배지에서 다른 배지보다 빠르게 성장하였다. 이 연구는 2 두 가지 성장 인자가 빠르게 성장하는 Mycobacteria과 느리게 성장하는 Mycobacteria에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 7H11 C 배지는 색상 대비로 인하여 10종의 모든 Mycobacterium에서 기존배지보다 더 뛰어난 판독 용이성을 보여 주었다. 특히, MTB가 성장했을 경우 집락의 크기가 다른 배지에서 보다 커서 시각화가 용이하였다.

Experimental animals have been used to biological and medical purposes and the animals must be, for these purposes, healthy and clean to microbial infection. However, the animals can be easily exposed to pathogenic microorganism via several routes. Of the routes, environmental conditions are the most important factors to keep the animals healthy and clean, especially air condition. Monitoring of air-condition has been required to keep the animal healthy and clean. However, any guideline is not available for experimental conditions with pigs. Therefore, the sampling times and points were compared in different conditions to establish an optimal protocol for monitoring of air borne bacteria. Tryptic soy agar(TSA), blood agar containing 5% defibrinated sheep blood and Sabraud dextrose agar(SDA) were used as media to capture total bacteria, pathogenic bacteria and fungi, respectively. Two methods, compulsive capture using an air-sampler and capturing fall-down bacteria were used to capture the microorganisms in the air. The points and time of capturing were different at each experiment. Air borne microorganisms were captured at three and five points in the open and closed equipments, respectively. Air was collected using an air-sampler for 1 min and 5 min and the agar plates as open status were left from 30 min to 2hr. At first, we monitored an experimental laboratory which dealt with several pathogenic bacteria and then, a protocol obtained from the investigation was applied to open or close experimental conditions with pigs. Number of bacteria was high from 10:00 to 15:00, especially on 13:30-15:30 but sharply decreased after 17:00. The tendency of the number of bacteria was similar between two methods even though the absolute number was higher with air sampler. Critical difference in the number of cells was observed at 5 min with air sampler and 2 hr with fall-down capturing method. However, 1 min with air sampler and 1 hr with fall-down capturing were the best condition to identify bacterial species collected from the air. Number of bacteria were different depending on the sampling points in closed condition but not in opened condition. Based on our results, a guide-line was suggested for screening air-borne microorganism in the experimental conditions with pigs.
