Prophylactic antibiotics in acute nonperforated appendicitis have been used for preventing infection after appendectomy. However, duration of antibiotic administration for surgical prophylaxis in Korea has been noted to be longer than those recommended in other countries. The objective of this study was to identify appropriate duration of prophylactic antibiotics in acute nonperforated appendicitis by comparing two different antibiotic regimens for their wound infection rates. Eighty-four acute nonperforated appendicitis patients were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, open trial and were assigned to one of two antibiotic regimens: cefoxitin 1 g every 8 hours given intravenously for 24hours or cefoxitin 1 g every 8 hours given intravenously plus sisomicin 75 mg every 12 hours given jntramuscularly for 72 hours. First doses were given just prior to the induction of anesthesia. Postoperative wound infections were detected in $4.8\%$ of the 72-hour-treated group (n=42), whereas none occurred in the 24-hour-treated group (n=42). However, the difference in the rates of wound infections between two groups was not statistically significant. The most frequently isolated microorganism from appendiceal tissues was E coli. In conclusion, administration of cefoxitin alone for 24 hours is sufficient as surgical prophylaxis in nonperforated appendicitis.

The binding characteristics of five cephalosporins, cefamandole, ceftriaxone, cefoxitin, latamoxef, and cefotetan to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was examined by UV difference spectrophotometry. 2-(4'-hydroxybenzeneazo) benzoic acid was used as the spectrophotometric probe. Competitive bindings between the probe and cephalosporins were observed. Based on the Scatchard plot, the BSA appeared to have two classes of binding sites in BSA binding with cephalosporins. The number of primary binding sites appears to be one, secondary binding sites appears to be three. The binding constants were found as follows: BSA-HBAB; $K_1^{obs}$=8.39$\times$$10^4$ $M^{-1}$, $K_2^{obs}$=1.60$\times$$10^4$ $M^{-1}$, BSA-Cefamandole; $K_1^{obs}$=5.44$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$, $K_2^{obs}$=0.74$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$, BSA-Cefotriaxone; $K_1^{obs}$=6.78$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$, $K_2^{obs}$=0.88$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$, BSA-Cefoxitin; $K_1^{obs}$=7.24$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$, $K_2^{obs}$=1.13$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$, BSA-Latamoxef; $K_1^{obs}$=8.87$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$, $K_2^{obs}$=1.92$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$, BSA-Cefotetan; $K_1^{obs}$=15.41$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$, $K_2^{obs}$=2.7$\times$$10^3$ $M^{-1}$.

We investigated the distribution, molecular characteristics, and antimicrobial resistance of Vibrio vulnificus isolated from seawater at Gadeok Island, the Republic of Korea between June to October. Interestingly no isolates were detected between December to February. The detection rate of V. vulnificus was high (80-100%) from July to September 2019 and from June to September 2020. This coincided with the relatively low salinity of the seawater, which ranged from 7.8-29.9 practical salinity units for that period. Additionally, V. vulnificus had a high detection rate at sampling stations near the Nakdong river. The detection rates of virulence genes, such as vvhA, viuB, and vcgC, among the isolates were 97.1%, 44.1%, and 57.4% in 2019 and 100%, 43.0%, and 50.0% in 2020, respectively. Notably, viuB and vcgC were detected in V. vulnificus isolated between June to October when water temperature was above 20℃. The antimicrobial susceptibility analysis of 80 isolates revealed that most of the strains were susceptible to most antimicrobial agents. However, some isolates showed intermediate resistance to cefepime (18.8%), cefoxitin (58.8%), and erythromycin (22.5%). Of note, 3.8% of the tested strains were resistant to cefoxitin. The minimum inhibitory concentration of highly cefoxitin-resistant strains was determined to be less than 32 ㎍/mL.

A total of 79 Salmonella spp. were isolated from Pusan area in 2000. The serotypes of 79 Salmonella isolates were classified as 42 strains of S. typhi(53.1%), 24 strains of S. enteritidis(30.4%), 9 strains of S. montevideo(11.4%), 2 strains of S. typhimurium(2.5%), 1 strain of S. infantis(1.3%) and 1 strain of S. indiana(1.3%) strains(16.5%) of Salmonella sp. were isolated at May July, respectively. The isolates of S. typhi were sensitive to most sntibiotics except streptomycin. All isolates of S. typhi were especially sensitive to tobramycin, gentamicin, colistin, kanamycin, samikacin, sulfamethozazole/ trimethoprim, cefriaxone, ceftazdime, cifrofloxacin, cefoxitin and cefotaxime. Isolates of S. enteritidis wer presented higher resistance than isolates of S. typhi. Twenty-four strains of S. enteritidis were sensitive to kanamycin, amikacin cifrofloxacin, cefoxitin and cefotaxime, however 13 strains(54.2%) of S. enteritidis were resistant to carbenicillin, ampicillin and ticarcillin. Nine strains of S. montevideo were sensitive to most antibiotics except carbenicillin and streptomycin. Each 1 stain of S. indiana and S. infantis was sensitive to most antibiotics used in this study except streptomycin. Three kinds of resistant pattern (CB, SM, TE, AM, TC). In the case of S. enteritidis isolates, 9 kinds resistant pattern were detected. Most frequent resistant pattern of S. enteritidis isolates was CB, AM, TC type(16.7%)

This study determined the antibiotic resistance patterns of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus from the raw meat and feces of three game species from three different farms across South Africa. The Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute 2018 guidelines. E. coli was tested against ampicillin, ceftazidime, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulphafurazole and tetracycline. S. aureus was tested against tetracycline, erthromycin, vancomycin, penicillin, oxacillin and cefoxitin. There were no significant differences in the E. coli antibiotic resistance profiles between the meat and fecal samples (except towards ceftazidime where 5% of the meat isolates were resistant and 0% of the fecal isolates). The S. aureus meat isolates showed high (75%) resistance towards penicillin and on average, 13% were resistant to oxacillin/ cefoxitin, indicating methicillin resistance. The results from this study indicate that there is incidence of antibiotic resistant bacteria from the feces and meat of wildlife species across South Africa, suggesting that cross contamination of the meat occurred during slaughter by antibiotic resistant bacteria from the abattoir personnel or equipment and or from carcass fecal matter. In addition, the results highlight the importance of food safety and hygiene procedures during slaughter to prevent cross-contamination of antibiotic resistant bacteria, as well as pathogens, onto raw meat.

It has been shown that the butanol extract of Lonicera japonica has antimicrobial and other potentially useful biological activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the in vitro activity of Lonicera japonica compared to other antimicrobial agents against anaerobic bacteria. Specifically, the in vitro activity of the butanol extract was investigated against 104 clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria using an agar dilution method and the results were compared to erythromycin, cefoxitin, imipenem, clindamycin, and metronidazole. It was found that Lonicera japonica and imipenem were the most active antimicrobial agents tested.

서울시 가락동 수산물 도매시장에서 시판되는 건포류 164건에 대해 API strep kit를 사용하여 87주의 균주들을 분리하였고 이 가운데 28주에서 E. faecalis, and E. faecium가, 11주에서 Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis가 분리되었다. 28주의 E. faecalis와 E. faecium에서는 내성을 나타내는 항생제들이 streptomycin(95.6%), kanamycin(84.5%), gentamycin(66.7%), cephaloxin(97.8%), ampicillin/sulbactam(88.9%), ticarcillin(66.7%), amikacin(97.8%), sulfonamides(97.8%), ceftriaxone(75.6%), nalidixic acid(100.0%), 그리고 cefoxitin(100.0%) 등이었고, 감수성을 나타내는 항생제들은 amoxicillin/clavulanic acid(97.8%), chloramphenicol(95.6%), solfamethoxazole/trimethoprim(97.8%), 그리고 tetracycline(71.1%)등으로 나타났다. 또한, 이 가운데 가장 많은 다제내성 형태로는 10 균주의 E. faecalis에서 나타난 $S-K-GM-CF-SAM-TIC-An-S_3-CRO-NA-FOX$에 대한 것이었다. 결국, 건포류에서 분리한 E. faecalis 균주에서 항생제 다제내성이 분포함으로 나타나 probiotics로 사용되고 있는 이러한 균에 대한 항생제 내성의 결과가 의의가 있다고 사료된다.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)는 화농성 질환, 균혈증을 유발하고 병원내 감염의 주요 원인균으로 알려져 있다. 병원에서의 MRSA 분리율은 점차 증가하여 80% 이상으로 보고 되고 있으며 Methicillin 뿐만 아니라 다른 항균제에도 내성을 나타냄으로 치료를 위한 항균제 사용에 제한을 받고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 MRSA의 정확한 판정을 통해 항생제 남용을 막고자 대부분의 병원에서 사용하는 항균제 감수성 검사법과 경제적인 면으로 인해 병원내에서 많이 사용되고 있지 않지만 정확도가 높은 mecA 유전자 검출법을 서로 비교하였다. 그 결과 대조군인 Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus와 실험군 MRSA 20 균주를 대상으로 항균제 감수성 검사법과 mecA 유전자 PCR 검출법을 실시한 결과 MRSA 20 균주는 Oxacillin과 Cefoxitin에 모두 내성을 나타냈으나 mecA 유전자 검출에서는 20 개 중 17 개에서만 유전자가 검출되어 염기서열분석 결과 mecA 유전자임을 확인하였다. 이런 결과로 보아 mecA(-) 3 균주는 mecA 유전자의 변이로 추측할 수 있기에 임상에서의 MRSA의 판정은 항균제 디스크법과 mecA 유전자 PCR 검출법을 동시에 사용함으로 정확한 MRSA 진단에 도움을 주고자 한다.
