The antibacterial activity of Korean honey bee venom (KBV) was examined against seven major bacterial mastitis pathogens, Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus oralis and Streptococcus uberis isolated from infected mammary quarters of cows. Seven bacterial mastitis pathogens were studied for antibacterial activity of the KBV by disc diffusion assay, minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and bacterial count in milk samples. The KBV showed activity against Ent. faecium, E. coli, MRSA, Staph. aureus, Strep. intermedius. The order of susceptibility of the bacteria against the KBV was Staph. aureus>MRSA>E. coli>Strep. intermedius>Ent. faecium>Strep. oralis>Strep. uberis. The MIC against Staph. aureus, MRSA and E. coli were stronger effect as compared with standard drug. The effect of the KBV ($100{\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$) on the viability of Ent. faecium, E. coli, MRSA, Staph. aureus, Strep. intermedius, Strep. oralis and Strep. uberis in milk differed significantly with each other within 12 h incubation period. The results indicate that KBV has significant antibacterial effects against major bacterial mastitis bacteria, Ent. faecium, E.coli, MRSA, Staph. aureus, Strep. intermedius. Results of the study indicate the potential use of KBV as alternative to antibiotic therapy. Further investigations are needed though to confirm its efficacy and its effects on the animals.

Lysogenic conversion of Staphylococcus aureus to loss of ${\beta}-hemolysin$ production by serological group F phages is always associated with gain in staphylokinase production. In this study, the new phages belonging to serotype F were detected during the course of isolation of phages from Staph aureus of bovine origin and some characteristics of the new phages isolated were investigated. The new phages, ${\phi}470$ and ${\phi}499$, isolated from Staph aureus producing ${\beta}-hemolysin$ and staphylokinase(${\beta}^+\;K^+$) were found to convert ${\beta}^+\;K^+$ strain to ${\beta}^+K\;^+$, Staph aureus strains lysogenized by this serotype F single-converting phage ${\phi}470$ or ${\phi}499$ could be again lysogenized with serotype F double-converting phage ${\phi}506$. The frequency of lysogenization of indicator strains by serotype F single-converting phage was 100%, whereas the frequency for serotype F double-converting phage ${\phi}506$ varied from 4.2% to 97.6% according to the indicator strains. The indicator strain lysogenized with phage ${\phi}470$ was resistant to phage ${\phi}499$, and vice versa, but not to phage ${\phi}506$. Therefore, phage ${\phi}470$ and ${\phi}499$ were shown to be identical by immunity test.

본 연구는 식품으로부터 S. aureus를 분리하는 데 사용되는 선택배지들의 성능을 평가하였다. 먼저 BPA와 MSEY agar의 민감도 비교를 통해 BPA를 선택하였고, 이 배지의 회수율을 $3M^{TM}$ $Petrifilm^{TM}$ Staph Express Count Plate(STX petrifilm)의 회수율과 비교하였다. 축산식품 중 돼지고기 주물럭과 육회용 꾸릿살, 수산식품 중 쥐포와 반건조 오징어, 전통식품 중 떡과 잡채를 선정하여 S. aureus를 접종한 후 BPA와 STX Petrifilm 배지를 사용하여 회수율 분석 실험을 실시하였다. 6가지 식품에 대해 인위적으로 S. aureus를 저농도에서부터 고농도까지 접종한 후 0시간과 24시간 후의 검출률을 측정하였다. 두 배지 간의 유의 수준을 분석한 결과 식품의 종류, 접종 농도에 관계없이 두 선택배지 간에 통계적 유의차는 없는 것으로 확인되었다(P>0.05). 따라서 STX Petrifilm은 BPA를 대체할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 배지의 준비 및 도말에 소요되는 분석시간을 절감하고 배양에도 최소한의 공간이 필요하게 되어 신속, 정확한 분석에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 산업의 발달로 인한 식품의 안전성에 대한 국민의 우려가 증가되고 있으며 특히 식품을 미생물의 증식으로부터 안전하게 보존하기 위한 천연식품보존제의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 지구상에 풍부한 천연자원인 키토산과 합성 화학 보존제인 소르빈산을 사용하여 그람음성 병원성 식중독 원인균인 Escherichia coli O517:H7 과 대표적 그람양성 식중독 원인균인 Staph. aureus에 대해 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. Escherichia coli O517:H7에 대한 키토산의 최소 발육억제 농도는 pH 5.0에서 500 ppm, pH5.5에서 250 ppm, pH 6.0에서 5000 ppm, 그리고 pH6.5에서 2000 ppm이었으며, Staph. aureus에 대한 키토산의 최소발육억제 농도는 pH 5.0에서 500 ppm, pH 5.5에서 250 ppm, pH 6.0에서 500 ppm, 그리고 pH6.5에서 2000 ppm이었으며, Staph. aureus에 대한 키토산의 최소 발육억제 농도는 pH 5.0에서 31.3 ppm이었으며, pH5.5 이상에서는 62.5 ppm이었다. 소르빈산의 최소발육억제농도는 pH5.0에서 500 ppm, pH 5.5에서 1500 ppm, 그리고 pH 6.0이상에서는 2000 ppm이상이었다. Staph.aureus에 대한 소르빈산의 최소발육억제 농도는 pH 5.0에서 1500 ppm이었으며, pH5.5 이상에서는 2000 ppm이상이었다. Escherichia coli O517:H7 에 대한 키토산과 소르빈산의 병용처리효과는 pH에 크게 영향을 받아 pH 6.5에서는 키토산 농도 500 ppm과 소르빈산 500 ppmshd도에 발육이 억제되었으나 pH5.0에서는 키토산농도 250 ppm과 소르빈산 31.3 ppm에 억제되었다. 한편, Staph.aureus에서는 pH에 대한 영향이 별로 없었으며, 키토산의 영향을 크게 받으나 소르빈산의 영향은 거의 없었다. pH 6.5, $37^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 Escherichia coli O517:H7은 키토산 500 ppm 및 소르빈산 500 ppm 처리와 키토산 250 ppm 및 소르빈산 250 ppm 병용처리군에서 모두 증식이 억제되었으나 키토산의 영향을 크게 받으나 소르빈산의 영향은 거의 없었다. pH6.5 $37^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 Escherichia coli O517:H7은 키토산 500 ppm 및 소르빈산 500 ppm처리와 키토산 250 ppm 및 소르빈산 250 ppm 병용 처리군에서 모두 증식이 억제되었으나 키토산과 소르빈산 단독처리군에서는 배양시간이 증가함에 따라 균의 증식이 계속되었다. Staph.aureus는 소리빈사에 영향을 받지 않았으며 병용효과보다는 키토산에 대한 영향이 컸다. pH5.5, $37^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 Escherichia coli O517:H7은 키토산 550 ppm, 250 ppm 단독 첨가시와 병용 처리시 모두 3시간 이내에 균증식이 억제되었다. Staph. aureus의 경우는 키토산 50 ppm 단독처리군과 키토산 25 ppm과 소르빈산 2000 ppm 병용처리군에서 균증식이 사멸되었다. Escherichia coli O517:H7에 대한 키토산과 소르빈산 병용처리시 MIC와의 관계는 pH6.5에서 R=0.95(p<0.01), pH6.0에서 R=0.99(p<0.01), pH5.5에서 R=0.97(p<0.01), 그리고 pH5.0에서 R=0.99(p<0.01)로 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. Staph. aureus에 대해서는 소르빈산의 병용처리에 의한 효과는 거의 없었다. 이상의 결과로 종합하면 pH 변화에 따른 키토산과 소르빈산 단독 및 병용처리로 인한 상승효과를 확인할 수 있었으며 이 결과 천연식품인 키토산을 병용함으로써 인체에 영향이 있는 합성 화학보존제인 소르빈산의 양을 감소시킬 수 있었으며, 또한 식품의 보존성을 더 증가 또는 유지시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives: This study was performed in order to evaluate antibiotic resistance and analyze the multiple antibiotic resistance of food-borne pathogens isolated from indoor air and an air cleaner at a lunch room in a child care center. Methods: An antibiotic test of food-borne pathogens, including four Staphylococcus aureus and 23 Bacillus cereus was conducted through the disk diffusion method from Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute. Results: All Staph. aureus was resistant to Ampicillin and Penicillin, while B. cereus was also resistant to Ampicillin, Cefepime and Penicillin. All isolates showed Vancomycin susceptibility but three out of four Staph. aureus and all B. cereus were resistant to Oxacillin. Staph. aureus and B. cereus presented two or more multiple antibiotic resistances. Conclusions: The results indicated that food-borne pathogens isolated from indoor air and an air cleaner at a lunch room in a child care center showed multiple antibiotic resistances. The repeated control of indoor environment quality is required and continuous surveillance of antibiotic resistant strains is demanded.

Swine plasminogen is not activated by staphylokinase of Staphylococcus aureus. In this study, the activation of swine plasminogen by staphylokinase of Staph hyicus subsp. hyicus was investigated and the effect of EDTA(disodium) on plasminogen activation was also studied. When the activation of swine plasminogen by staphylokinase of Staph hyicus subsp. hyicus was examined in fresh swine plasma, swine plasminogen could be weakly activated. However, when EDTA was added to the swine plasma, plasminogen activation was markedly enhanced, but this enhancement was not observed on bovine fibrin-dog plasminogen agar plate containing EDTA. Chicken and bovine plasminogens were not activated by staphylokinase of Staph hyicus subsp. hyicus. Using fresh swine plasma agar containing 0.07% EDTA, staphylokinase activity was detected in 96.3% of Staph hyicus subsp. hyicus strains isolated from pigs and in none of the chicken and bovine strains.

The sacrococcygeal region is the frequent site for meningocele, congenital dermal sinus and pilonidal cyst. From May 1995 to July 1998, we have treated 8 neonatal patients with an abscess in the sacrococcygeal area. The mean age at onset was 8.3 days with a range from 6 to 11 days. The sex ratio was 5:3 with male preponderance. Mild fever was the only systemic symptom. Ultrasonogram revealed a slightly hypo echoic lesion in the subcutaneous tissue which became more hypoechoic with time. Pus cultures showed $Staph.$ $aureus$ in 7 patients, two of them had mixed infection with $E.$ $coli$ and other 2 had methicillin-resistant $Staph.$ $aureus.$ The remaining one patient had a mixed infection with $Klebsiella$ and $Proteus.$ Histopathological examination revealed non-specific granuloma and fibrinoid necrotic debris. All patients were easily treated by incision, drainage and proper antibiotics.
