  • Vibrio vulnificus에서 lipopolysaccharide(LPS)를 추출하여 지방산 조성을 분석한 후 이 결과를 Escherichia coli LPS와 Salmonella typhimurium LPS의 것들과 비교하였다. Vibrio vulnificus LPS의 주 지방산은 myristic acid(C14:0, 41.37%)이었고 Escherichia coli LPS는 lauric acid(C12:0, 37.03%), Salmonella typhimurium LPS는 capric acid(C10:0, 48.60%)로 서로 달랐으나 이 세가지 지방산이 각 LPS의 주성분이었다(70%이상).

  • The simulation of electric field distribution of discharge tube with globular $ZrO_2$ and the removal characteristic of Escherichia coli by the discharge tube with globular $ZrO_2$ were estimated. The removal characteristic of Escherichia coli was related to the input voltage because the electric field is increased according to input voltage. As the particle size of $ZrO_2$ beads increased, the removal time of Escherichia coli was shortened due to the dielectric polarization of $ZrO_2$ beads.

  • A 3.5 kb plasmid from Lactobacillus. casei ssp. cosei NCIB 4114 was isolated and E. cali-L. casei shuttle vectors were constructed containing this plasmid. Transformation by electroporation was successful with all the plasmids constructed. Optimized condition for the electroporation was established with efficiency level of $2{\times}10^5$ transformants per $\mu$g of vector DNA. Successful introduction of those shuttle vectors enable to these vectors as food grade vector for lactic acid bacteria.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effects of ginseng extracts and their fractions on the 9rowth of Escherichia coli and its glucose consumption. Considerable amount of impurities such as sugar, Protein, lipids and minerals other than saponins were contained in n-butanol extracts which are generally referred to be crude saponins. Sucrose and maltose were contained as major sugars In ginseng extracts and their water soluble fractions. Arginine and potassium were also contained as major amino acid and mineral in those fractions, respectively. Though the glucose consumption and growth of Escherichia coli were enhanced by ginseng extracts and their water soluble fractions those were retarded by ether soluble fractions and n-butanol fractions.

  • Adenylate kinase-like activity and phosphotransferase-like activity from $F_1$-ATPase of Escherichia coli was revealed by $^{31}P$ NMR spectroscopy. Incubation of F1-ATPase with ADP in the presence of $Mg^{2+}$ shows the appearance of $^{31}P$ resonances from AMP and Pi, suggesting generation of AMP and ATP by adenylate kinase-like activity and the subsequent hydrolysis to Pi. Incubation of $F_1$-ATPase with ADP in the presence of methanol shows additional peak from methyl phosphate, suggesting phosphotransferase-like activity of $F_1$-ATPase. Both adenylate kinase-like activity and phosphotransferase-like activity has not been reported from $F_1$-ATPase of Escherichia coli. $^{31}P$ NMR could be a valuable tool for the investigation of phosphorous related enzyme.

  • In this research, we used discharge tube without dielectric bead or with dielectric beads($SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, or $ZrO_2$), and discharge in water for removal of Escherichia coli. At the result of experiments, the removal characteristics of Escherichia coli appeared relation ratio to input voltage. Because, the electric field of discharge tube is increased when input voltage is increased. And, discharge tube used dielectric bead($ZrO_2$), the removal characteristics of Escherichia coli was better than cases of else.

  • A case of recurrent urinary tract infection by cysteine-requiring Escherichia coli in a 5-years-old child with congenital vesicoureteral reflux is described. This bacterium was not grown on MacConkey agar plate for overnight culture, and after 48hrs, tiny colonies were observed. These colonies were not identified by VITEK2 and Walkaway 96i without cysteine supplementation. The isolate was susceptible for cefotetan, ciprofloxacin and imipenem, and resistant for piperacillin/tazobactam, cephalothin, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, amikacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin.

  • This study aimed to inhibit Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 artificially contaminated in fresh meat using bacteriophage. Among 14 bacteriophages, the highly lytic bacteriophage BPECO19 strain was selected to inhibit E. coli O157:H7 in artificially contaminated meat samples. Bacteriophage BPECO19 significantly reduced E. coli O157:H7 bacterial load in vitro in a multiplicity of infection (MOI)-dependent manner. E. coli O157:H7 was completely inhibited only in 10 min in vitro by the treatment of 10,000 MOI BPECO19. The treatment of BPECO19 at 100,000 MOI completely reduced 5 Log CFU/cm2 E. coli O157:H7 bacterial load in beef and pork at 4 and 8h, respectively. In chicken meat, a 4.65 log reduction of E. coli O157:H7 was observed at 4 h by 100,000 MOI. The treatment of single bacteriophage BPECO19 was an effective method to control E. coli O157:H7 in meat samples.

  • Enterovirulent Escherichia coli are among the most important causes of diarrhea in cattles. Between January and December, 2017, a total of 150 stool specimens from cattles were investigated for enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) using real-time PCR. 131 E. coli were isolated from feces. The most frequently isolated pathotype in feces was EHEC (37 isolates). EPEC, ETEC and EAEC were detected in feces with 14, 7 and 3 respectively. EIEC was not detected. Antimicrobial resistance test was performed by agar disc diffusion method with 14 antimicrobials. Enterovirulent E. coli isolates showed the highest antimicrobial resistance to ampicillin 61.3%, followed by tetracycline 54.5% and streptomycin 45.5%. They had low resistance to amikacin 11.4%. Of 44 isolates, 37 (84.1%) were resistant to more than 2 antimicrobials. futher study a highest antimicrobial susceptibility to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 50.0% and florofenicol 47.7%.

  • The efficacy of citric acid-aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) treatment of radish seeds artificially contaminated with Escherichia coli was studied. Radish seeds were inoculated with E. coli. Following inoculation, samples were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ and soaked in citric acid or aqueous $ClO_2$ for 10 min. The treatment of radish seeds using 200 ppm aqueous $ClO_2$ solution caused a 1.5 log CFU/g reduction in the population of E. coli. Compared to the aqueous $ClO_2$ treatment, soaking radish seeds in 2.0% citric acid solution for 10 min was more effective in reducing E. coli populations on radish seeds. The efficacy of spray application of chlorine (100 ppm) or 0.5% citric acid to eliminate E. coli during the germination and growth of radish was investigated. Radish seed inoculated with E. coli was treated for the duration of the growth period. Although it resulted in a decrease in the E. coli population, the spray application of 100 ppm chlorine during the growth period was not significantly effective. In contrast, the combined treatment of seeds using 200 ppm aqueous $ClO_2$ and treatment of sprouts with 0.5% citric acid solution during sprout growth was hardly effective in eliminating E. coli.
