항진균 활성균주를 선발하는 과정에서 DM3 균주를 대천 바닷가에서 수집된 진흙 시료로부터 분리하였으며 API 50CHB kit를 이용하여 동정한 결과 Bacillus licheniformis로 동정되었다. 이 균주는 12종의 식물병원성 진균에 대해 항균활성을 나타내었다. 감마선($^{60}Co$)을 조사하여 항진균 활성 결핍 돌연변이체(mDMB)를 유도한 후, 이차원전기영동으로 단백질을 분석한 결과 DM3와 mDM3에만 존재하는 각각 4종과 3종의 단 단백질을 확인할 수 있었다. 2-DE 결과 B. licheniformis DM3에서 spot 1은 serine hydroxymethyltransferase(45.0kDa), spot 2는 hypothetical protein(40.7 kDa), spot 3는 NifU protein homolog(15.4 kDa), 그리고 spot 4는 resolvase(12.5 kDa)와 상동성을 지닌 단백질로 동정되었고 B. licheniformis mDM3에서만 발현된 spot 5는 lysozyme(18.1 kDa)과 spot 6, 7은 alkyl hydroperoxide reductase(15.6 kDa)으로 동정되었다. B. licheniformis DM3에서 이들 단백질들의 항진균 활성 관련 여부를 규명하기 위해서 더 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

We compared the antibacterial activities of spermidine and astaxanthin against two gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus parauberis and S. iniae to find new antibacterial candidates. We also evaluated the preventive effects of spermidine against oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity in C2C12 myoblasts. Our results indicated that spermidine has more significant antibacterial activities than astaxanthin against both two fish pathogenic bacteria as well as gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli used as a control group. Minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of spermidine were 0.25 mM and 1 mM against S. parauberis, 1 mM and 3 mM against S. iniae, and 0.5 mM and 1.5 mM against E. coli, respectively. In addition, the postantibiotic effect lasted from 7 h, 5 h and 6 h for S. parauberis, S. iniae and E. coli, respectively. The results also showed that the decreased C2C12 cell viability by H₂O₂ could be attributed to the induction of DNA damage and apoptosis accompanied by the increased production of reactive oxygen species, which was remarkably protected by spermidine. Additionally, the antioxidant effect of spermidine was associated with the activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway. According to the data, spermidine may be a potential lead compound which can be further optimized to discover novel antibacterial and antioxidant agents.

Acanthamoeba, one of free-living amoebae (FLA), remains a high risk of direct contact with this protozoan parasite which is ubiquitous in nature and man-made environment. This pathogenic FLA can cause sight-threatening amoebic keratitis (AK) and fatal granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) though these cases may not commonly be reported in our clinical settings. Acanthamoeba has been detected from different environmental sources namely; soil, water, hotspring, swimming pool, air-conditioner, or contact lens storage cases. The identification of Acanthamoeba is based on morphological appearance and molecular techniques using PCR and DNA sequencing for clinico-epidemiological purposes. Recent treatments have long been ineffective against Acanthamoeba cyst, novel anti-Acanthamoeba agents have therefore been extensively investigated. There are efforts to utilize synthetic chemicals, lead compounds from medicinal plant extracts, and animal products to combat Acanthamoeba infection. Applied nanotechnology, an advanced technology, has shown to enhance the anti-Acanthamoeba activity in the encapsulated nanoparticles leading to new therapeutic options. This review attempts to provide an overview of the available data and studies on the occurrence of pathogenic Acanthamoeba among the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members with the aim of identifying some potential contributing factors such as distribution, demographic profile of the patients, possible source of the parasite, mode of transmission and treatment. Further, this review attempts to provide future direction for prevention and control of the Acanthamoeba infection.

The objective of this study was to determine the infection patterns of etiological agents causing calf diarrhea in the Gyeongnam province, Korea. In this study, from January 2011 to December 2011, feces and necropsy specimens from 249 calves diagnosed with diarrhea (<7 months old) were examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay and bacteria & coccidium isolation for detection pathogenic organism. The results of this study showed that 78 cases (31.3%) in spring, 71 cases (28.5) in summer, 62 cases (24.9%) in fall and 38 cases (15.3%) in winter were diagnosed with calf diarrhea, respectively. Calf diarrhea-causing pathogens were diagnosed as bacteria 113 (45.4%), viruses 97 (39.0%), coccidium 1 (0.4%), unknown cases 13 (5.2%), and mixed infections 25 (10.0%). We isolated three virus types from fecal samples (97), which were classified as BVD 64 (66.0%), BRV 21 (21.6%), and BCV 12 (12.4%). Moreover, co-infected pathogens were 25 cases, consisting with BVD & BRV 11 (44%), BVD & BCV& BRV 7 (28.0%), E. coli & BCV 3 (12%), and BVD & IBR 1 (4.0%). In summary, we demonstrated that the enteropathogens of bacteria, viruses, and parasite were detected in samples from cattle with diarrhea, principally in young calves less than 7 months of age. Future studies of infectious diarrhea in cattle should include assays for this etiologic agent.

지금까지 주요 식물병원세균에 대한 방제대책은 화학적 방제방법에 의존하여왔다. 그러나 항생제와 같은 화학적 방제방법은 저항성 균주의 출현으로 인해 효율성이 감소함에 따라 대체방법의 개발이 요구되어지고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주요 7종(그램음성 - 무름병, 감귤 궤양병, 풋마름병, 가지검은마름병 및 과실썩음병; 그램 양성 - 토마토 궤양병 및 더뎅이병)의 식물병원세균에 대한 탄닌산 함유 친환경농자재(공시번호 2-4-064)의 억제효과를 고체배지 확산법과 액체배지 배양법으로 검정하였다. 고체배지 확산법에서는 가지검은마름병원세균을 제외한 6종의 병원세균에 대한 억제효과를 나타내었으며, 액체배지 검정에서는 액체배지법으로 실험가능한 6종의 병원세균의 생장을 억제하였다. 전자현미경을 통한 표면변화를 관찰한 결과, 모든 병원세균의 표면구조의 변화를 발생하여 생장저해 또는 세포사멸을 유도하는 현상이 관찰되었다.

This study was conducted to determine the effective environmental control measures in preventing calf diarrheal disease in farms. It was found that the high numbers of calves in a cow house was directly related with the high incidence rate of diarrheal diseases. When the number of calves was increased in a cow house, it was difficult to reduce the diarrheal diseases of calves. It was revealed that the incidence rates of calf diarrheal disease were dramatically reduced when the delivery house which faced south. The periodical changes of bedding materials seemed beneficial good to control the possible resident infectious agents, including pathogenic viruses and bacteria. The control of the delivery time was important for reduction of calf diarrhea. It was revealed that September and October were the best time as the delivery period. In order to use old cow house as a delivery house, it should be sterilized by the disinfectant and the flame. When the diarrheal feces were removed as soon as possible, the transmission of diarrheal diseases among calves In the same house was reduced. When the diarrheal feces were not disposed, the incidence rate of diarrhea reached up to 50%. When the morbid calves were not quarantined, the incidence rate of diarrhea was 100%. In contrast, when the diseased calves were quarantined from other calves, the incidence rate of diarrhea was reduced, remarkably. The mean recovery time from the diarrhea of the treated calves in the southern cow house was much faster than that in the north cow house. The treatment of calves in a clean and well-ventilated cow house with dry bedding was more effective than that in a cold, wet, and dark house. It could be postulated that the most important environmental factor in the reduction of diarrheal diseases of calves is the blocking of the entry of the infectious agents. The complete sanitation and control of the delivery house in the using farm is more important than building a new cow house, for prevention of calf diarrheal diseases.
