Objectives: The object of this study was to observe the in vitro antibacterial effects of five single(Pulsatillae Radix, Patrinae Radix, Sanguisorbae Radix, Sophorae Flos, and Sophorae Radix) aqueous herbal extracts, traditionally used for treating various gynecological diseases including mastitis in Korea, against Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: Antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus of aqueous extracts of Pulsatillae Radix, PatrinaeRadix, Sanguisorbae Radix, Sophorae Flos, and Sophorae Radix were detected using standard agar microdilution methods. In addition, the effects on the bacterial growth curve were also monitored at Minimal Incubation Concentration(MIC) and $MIC{\times}2$ levels. The effects on the intracellular killing and bacterial invasion of individual test materials were also observed using murine macrophage(Raw 264.7) and human mammary gland carcinoma cell(MCF-7). Results: MIC of aqueous extracts of Pulsatillae Radix, Patrinae Radix, Sanguisorbae Radix, Sophorae Flos, and Sophorae Radix against Staphylococcus aureus were detected as $0.215{\pm}0.107$ mg/ml, $0.273{\pm}0.107$ mg/ml, $0.469{\pm}0.297$ mg/ml, $11.850{\pm}8.406$ mg/ml, and $0.664{\pm}0.546$ mg/ml, respectively. MIC of Ciprofloxacin was detected as $0.469{\pm}0.297{\mu}g/ml$ at same conditions. In addition, all five single aqueous herbal extracts were also showed marked dosage-dependent inhibition of bacterial growth. The effects of intracellular killing with Raw 264.7 and inhibition of bacterial invasion with MCF-7 cells were detected, in the order of Sophorae Flos, Pulsatillae Radix, Patrinae Radix, Sanguisorbae Radix and Sophorae Radix aqueous extracts in the present study. Conclusions: The results obtained in this study suggest that all five single aqueous herbal extracts showed antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus and they also showed dosage-dependent inhibitory effects on the bacterial growth. They showed the significant intracellular killing and inhibition of bacterial invasion effects. It means, all five single aqueous herbal extracts may show potent anti-infectious effects against Staphylococcus aureus for mastitis.

Biofilm 내부의 항생제 내성 박테리아의 성장형태는 만성감염과 질병을 발생한다. 인위적 형성한 biofilm의 체외실험 모델 시스템 통한 항생제 침투 실험을 수행하였다. 항생제 내성 균주 (E. coli, S. aureus)는 항생제 내성균주 은행으로부터 획득하였다 Ca-alginate bead를 인위적 biofilm으로 사용하였고, 세포 생존률을 향상시키기 위해 공기 압축을 이용한 세포 포획 실험도 측정되었다. biofilm의 항생제 감수성은 항생제의 농도 따라 최저 저해 농도 (MIC)를 이용하여 측정되었다. bead생성에 따른 안정성은 bead를 형성하지 않은 세포와 비교하여 감소하였다. 항생제에 민감한 E. coli의 경우 시간이 지남에 따라 균체수도 감소하였으나, 항생제 내성 E. coli는 일정한 균체수를 유지하였다. bead형성 후 항생제 투여 효과는 항생제 내성이 있고, 낮은 농도의 항생제를 처리할수록 더 높은 생존률을 보였다.

The antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts from 17 seaweeds was screened using a paper disc method and using three human skin pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Candia albicans. The serial extraction of Neorhodomela aculeata was also conducted using four different solvents (n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol) and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of each extract was examined for the three pathogens. Of the 17 seaweeds, the MeOH extracts of Ulva conglobata, N. aculeata and Symphyocladia latiuscula showed antimicrobial activities. For the extracts from N. aculeata and S. latiuscula, the inhibition zones were more than 10 mm in diameter against S. aureus and S. epidermidis, and >7mm for C. albicans. The inhibition zone of U. conglobata treatment was about 8 mm for S. aureus only. The MIC of each N. aculeata extract ranged from 8 to 32 mg/mL against the three human skin pathogens, and the lowest value (8 mg/mL was with the methanol extract. These results suggest that the MeOH extract of N. aculeata might be useful for developing new antibiotics against human skin pathogens.

충치원인균인 Streptococcus mutans에 대한 페놀성 화합물(14종)의 항미생물활성은 hydroxybenzoic acid group에서는 syringic acid를 제외한 모든 화합물이 5와 10 mg/disc 함유량에서 $8.5{\sim}18mm$까지의 생육저해환을 나타내었다. 기타 phenolics 화합물에서는 catechol과 L-ascorbic acid가 저해능을 나타냈는데, 특히 catechol은 10 mg/disc 함유량은 $18.5{\sim}19.5mm$로 강한 항미생물활성을 나타냈다. Phenolic compounds의 최소저해농도는 S. mutans, M1 및 M2 균 모두에서 2,000 ppm의 농도에서 MIC 값을 나타내어 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며, catechol만 1,000 ppm의 농도에서 높은 MIC 값을 나타내었다. 충치 관련 미생물인 S. mutans에 대해 항미생물활성이 인정된 7종의 페놀성 화합물을 대상으로 S. mutans가 생산하는 glucosyltransferase(GTase)의 활성저해능은 benzoic acid와 p-hydroxybenzoic acid 처리구에서는 100과 500 ppm 농도에서 약하게나마 GTase활성을 저해하는 경향을 나타냈으며, gallic acid 처리구는 10 ppm부터 활성을 나타내기 시작해서 100 ppm과 500 ppm에서 약 50%의 저해 활성을 나타냈다. 한편 catechol 처리구에서는 10 ppm에서 58.7%의 저해활성을 나타내었고, 50 ppm에서 60.7%, 100 ppm에서 88.4%, 그리고 500 ppm에서 89.6%의 높은 활성을 나타내어 catechol의 S. mutans에 대한 생육저해능 측정에서 높은 항미생물활성을 나타낸 결과와 동일한 경향을 나타냈다.

Background: Tetracycline is an antibiotic widely used for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, but its effectiveness is decreasing due to increasing bacterial resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of 16S rRNA mutations associated with resistance or reduced susceptibility to tetracycline ofHelicobacter pylori by real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assays from culture. Materials and Methods: Tetracycline susceptibility and minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) was determined by the Epsilometer test (Etest) method. A LightCycler assay developed to detect these mutations was applied to DNA extracted from culture. The 16S rRNA of these isolates was sequenced and resistance-associated mutations were identified. From 104 isolates of H. pylori examined, 11 showed resistance to tetracycline. Results: LightCycler assay was applied to DNA extracted from 11 tetracycline-susceptible and 11 tetracycline resistance H. pylori isolates. In our study the sequencing of the H. pylori wild types in 16 s rRNA gene were AGA 926-928 with MIC (0.016 to $0.5{\mu}g/ml$), while the sequencing and MIC for resistant were GGA and AGC, (0.75 to $1.5{\mu}g/ml$), respectively. Also we found a novel mutation in 2 strains with $84^{\circ}C$ as their melting temperatures and exhibition of an A939C mutation. Conclusions: We conclude that real-time PCR is an excellent method for determination of H. pylori tetracycline resistance related mutations that could be used directly on biopsy specimens.
