시중에서 사용되고 있는 일반 소독제를 대상으로 하여 병원 미생물의 내성 빈도를 검토한 결과는 약 30%였다. 그 중에서 푸드세프 (산화제 중 할로겐 계 소독약)와 동인테고 (양성 계면 활성제) 및 Iodo 175 (양성 계면 활성제)는 병원 미생물에 대해 낮은 감수성을 나타냈었을 뿐 아니라, 시험에 사용된 다른 소독제에 비하여 높은 내성 빈도를 나타내었다. 소독제 내성 균주를 사용해서 항생제 내성을 MIC test와 paper disc 방법으로 확인한 결과 30%의 내성 빈도를 나타내었다. 다른 항생제에 비해 aminoglycoside 계의 항생제인 gentamycin, kanamycin, streptomycin에서 높은 내성 빈도를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구실에서 제주도 손바닥 선인장으로부터 추출${\cdot}$분획한 MBT-01108 물질을 소독제와 항생제에 내성을 획득한 내성균에 상용했을 경우 내성이 생기지 않을 뿐 아니라, 내성균이 자라지 못하였다. 또한 현재 문제시되고 있는 다제 내성균인 MRSA, R-Pseudomonas aeruginosa, VRE, E. coli O157에 사용했을 경우에도 마찬가지의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이상에서 살펴 본 바와 같이 손바닥 선인장에서 추출 ${\cdot}$ 분획한 MBT-01108 물질은 기존의 항생제와는 다른 기작으로 작용을 할 것으로 생각되고, 신규 항균 활성 물질의 약제 개발에 그 유용성이 매우 클 것으로 기대되며 여러 가지 항균성 생활 제품의 개발에도 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

A total of 250 enteric bacteria (148 Escherichia coli, 41 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 46 Enterobacter spp. and 15 Proteus spp.) isolated from bovine udder infections in 1979 through 1980 were examined for drug resistance and prevalence of R. plasmids. The drug tested were streptomycin (SM), kanamycin (KM), ampicillin (AP), chloramphenicol (CP), tetracycline (TC), gentamicin (GM), oxolinic acid (OA) and nalidixic acid (NA). The detection of R. plasmids was performed with Escherichia coli ML 1410 NAr as the recipient. Of the 148 Escherichia coli isolated, 68(45.9%) were found to be resistant to one or more drugs tested, and about 50% of the resistant strains were multiply resistant. of the 68 drugresistant strains, 13(19.1%) were found to carry R. plasmids which were capable of performing a conjugal transfer. CP resistance was transfered together with the other resistance. Of 41 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated, 90.2% were resistant to the drugs, alone or in combination thereof. Strains resistant to AP and TC were 63.4%, and 48.8%, respectively. R. plasmids were detected in 78.4% of the drug-resistant strains, and these strains transfered all or a part of their drug resistance pattern. AP and CP resistance were transfered in 100% of AP and CP-resistant strains. Eleven (37.9%) of 29 R. plasmids showed a thermosensitive transfer. Of the 46 strains of Enterobacter spp. isolated, 37(80.4%) were resistant to the drugs tested. A high percentage of resistance was noted for AP(65.2%). All strains resistant to four or more drugs transferred their resistances to Escherichia coli ML 1410, but strains resistant to three or fewer drugs did not transfer the resistances. All of the 15 Proteus strains isolated were resistant to more than two drugs. of them, 6 were quadruple resistance to SM, KM, CP and TC, and 9 were double one to AP and TC. Three (20.0%) of the drug-resistant isolates had R.plasmids conferring AP and TC resistance. GM, OA and NA of the drugs tested were very active to all of 250 Gram-negative enteric bacteria isolated from bovine udder infections.

This study aims to examine the antibacterial effects of cotton and silk fabrics naturally dyed with Artemisia princeps extract on antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. The concentrated natural dye of the Artemisia princeps extract was made at the liquor ratio of 1:10 at 40-60℃ for 60 minutes. The concentration of FeSO4·7H2O, Al2(SO4)3, and CuSO4 5H2O mordant was 3% (owf), and the liquor ratio was 1:20. In order to experiment on the antimicrobial activity of the naturally dyed fabrics, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ATCC 33591, was used by breeding it in Brain Heart Infusion Agar (BHA) containing Oxacillin (2㎍/ml), Fungizone (2.5㎍/ml), and Brain Heart Infusion broth (BHI; Detroit, MI, USA). As a result of examining the bacterial growth reduction rate on dyed cotton and silk fabrics against antibiotic-resistant strains, it was found that the copper mordant in cotton fabric shows the highest antibacterial activity with a bacterial growth reduction rate of 99.9%, and the non-mordant cotton fabric shows the lowest antibacterial activity with a reduction rate of 18.6%. In the case of the naturally dyed silk fabric, it indicates the highest reduction rate of strains in the Al mordanting (94.9%), and Cu mordanting (99.9%).

CFC-222 is a novel fluoroqinolone antibacterial agent synthesized and under development by the Cheil Jedang Corporation, Korea. CFC-222 exerts the antibacterial activity by inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase leading to bactericidal action. In in vitro and in vivo preclinical testing, CFC-222 has been shown to possess a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. In particular CFC-222 is very potent against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus spp., Streptocuccus spp. (in particular penicillin G-resistant and -susceptible S. pneumoniae) and Enterococcus spp. when compared to other quinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin or lomefloxacin). CFC-222 also showed potent activity against the methicillin resistant clinical isolates of S. aureus (MRSA). Against Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, Pseudomonas and Sarcina) the activity of CFC-222 was slightly weaker than that of ciprofloxacin, but was more potent than that of ofloxacin or lomefloxacin. In urinary systemic infections caused by both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, CFC-222 demonstrated a potent therapeutic efficacy in particular against Cram-positive bacteria S. aureus, S. pyrogen 203 and S. pneumonia TypeIII.

Fecal samples from Kim-Hae farm animals were examined for the frequency of gram-negative enteric organisms resistant to tetracycline, streptomycin, or penicillin. The propertions of antibiotic resistant to total organisms in fecal specimens of poultry, swine and cow were as follows: 95%, 92%, 70% for tetracycline, 100%, 27%, 9% for streptomycin, 18%, 1%, 1% for penicillin, respectively. The bacteria had multiresistance to antibiotics. These strains had more than one plasmid. From the transformation study, it was concluded that the resistance to streptomycin was attributed to one of these plasmids.

Waksman's group discovered SM in 1944, and opened a new field of antibiotcs: i. e. AGs. A large group of antibiotics containing aminosugar and/or aminocyclitol is called the AGs. A majority of AGs are produced by actinomycetes. In the first period, AGs effective against tuberculosis were chiefly examined. Following the studies on NM and KM, AGs active against staphyllococci and gram-negative robs were investigated. The discovery of GM and synthesis of DKB and AMK led to the studies on the third generation AGs, which show a broad antimicrobial spectrum including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and drug-resistant bacteria. Since opportunistic infection caused by drug-resistant bacteria are increasing, the third generation AGs are extensively investigated at present.

To monitor the possibility of horizontal gene transfer between transgenic potato and bacteria in the environment, the gene flow from glufosinate-tolerant potato to bacteria in soils was investigated. The soil samples treated with the leaf tissue of either glufosinate-tolerant or glufosinate-sensitive potato were subjected to PCR and Southern hybridization to determine possible occurrence of glufosinate-resistant soil bacteria and to detect the bar (phosphinothricin acetyltransferase) gene, conferring tolerance to glufosinate. The bar gene was not detected from genomic DNAs extracted at different time intervals from the soil samples, which had been treated with the leaf tissue of either transgenic or non-transgenic potato for 2 to 8 weeks. In addition, the level of glufosinate-resistant bacteria isolated from the soil samples treated with the leaf tissue of transgenic potato was similar to that of the samples treated with non-transgenic potato after 4 months of incubation at $25^{\circ}C$. The bar gene was not detected in the genomic DNAs extracted from colonies growing on the plate containing glufosinate, indicating that the bacteria could acquire the resistant phenotype to glufosinate by another mechanism without the uptake of the bar gene from glufosinate-tolerant potato.

Unlike eukaryotic efflux pumps energized by ATPase bacterial efflux pumps are energized by the proton motive force. That is the reason why CCCP, an inhibitor of proton motive forcer is widely used to study the bacterial efflux pump. In many cases, efflux systems have been observed only in quinolone-resistant bacteria. Most of the quinolone-susceptible strains have been found to maintain little efflux pump. However some susceptible bacteria skewed the increased intracellular quinolone concentration only at a low concentration (0.01 or 0.1 mM) but net at a high concentration (1 mM) of CCCP. If bacterial cells were killed at high concentrations of CCCP and lost the integrity of their membranes, the intracellular quinolone would leak out from cells with no efflux system. The efflux pump system in the quinolone-susceptible strains could net be detected at the same concentration used for resistant bacteria. To test this hypothesist the intracellular quinolone concentration in the quinolone-susceptible and -resistant strains of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus was assayed at various concentrations of CCCP. Since the effect of CCCP is very rapid, the survival of bacteria was observed by assaying the DNA synthesis in 5 min. In the case of E. coli, but not P. aeruginosa or S. aureus, the quinolone susceptible strain was more susceptible to CCCP than the quinolone resistant ones, especially when the incubation with CCCP was extended. Decrease of the intracellular quinolone concentration resulted in a false result-no or weak efflux system in the quinolone susceptible strains. Results suggested that the concentration of CCCP should be optimized in order to detect the efflux system in the quinolone susceptible strains of E. coli.
