프로바이오틱스, 프리바이오틱스 및 신바이오틱스 등의 물질과 미생물을 조제분유에 강화하여 건강증진 기능성 유산균, 특히 비피더스균과 유산간균의 성장을 선택적으로 자극함으로써 장내균총에 유익한 효과를 나타내고자 하는 노력이 경주되고 있다. 지난 10년 동안, 모유 수유가 장내균총에 미치는 유용 효과를 도모하기 위해서 프로바이오틱스와 프리바이오틱스를 함유하는 새로운 신바이오틱 조제분유가 제안되었다. 새로운 신바이오틱스는 상승 효과로 인해서 프로바이오틱스 및 프리바이오틱스를 개별적으로 사용하는 경우 보다 더 도움이 되는 것으로 기대된다. 한편, 조제분유 및 건조 제품의 제조에 사용되는 가공 기술 및 저장 조건 등이 프로바이오틱스의 생존에 악영향을 미치게 된다. 충분한 유산균수($10^8cfu/g$)로 장내 예정된 부위에 도달하여 숙주에 긍정적인 효과를 나타내기 위해서는 식품 제조공정 및 위장관 통과 시 프로바이오틱스의 생존성을 유지하는 것이 가장 중요한 요소이다. 일반적으로 안전하다고 인정되며, 높은 생물학적 가치를 가지고 있는 물질을 이용하여 적절하고 비용 효율적인 마이크로캡슐화 기술이 개발되면 조제분유의 품질 향상이 가능하게 된다. 프로바이오틱스는 복합적인 효과를 나타낸다. 하나는 살아 있는 생균체가 장내균총에 유익하게 영향을 미쳐 면역조절 효과를 보여주는 것이며, 다른 하나는 사균체가 항-염증 반응을 나타내는 것이다. 최근에, 사균체 또는 정제되지 않은 미생물 분획물이 건강에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 명확하게 정의할 새로운 용어에 대한 필요성이 대두되었다. 그 결과, 충분한 양을 경구 또는 국소적으로 투여했을 때 인간과 동물에게 이로운 작용을 하는 사균체(손상되지 않거나 또는 파손된)나 정제되지 않은 세포 추출물(즉, 복잡한 화학적 조성)을 정의하기 위해 paraprobiotics라는 용어가 제안되었다. 프로바이오틱 균주 또는 프리바이오틱스를 조제분유에 강화했을 때 조제분유 수유아의 분변 미생물균총이 조정된다. 즉, 비피더스균 및 유산간균과 같은 건강 유익한 세균을 증가 시킴으로써, 프리바이오틱스는 분변 미생물균총의 조성을 변경하고, 이에 따라서 면역계의 활성을 조절한다. 따라서, 품질 향상을 위한 조제분유의 개발은 토착 장내균총의 대사 활성과 증식을 선택적으로 자극하는 비피더스균 등의 특정 프로바이오틱스 및 이눌린과 올리고당 등의 프리바이오틱스를 사용하여, 모유의 건강 유용 효과와 유사하게 접근하는 것에 초점을 맞추고 있다.

To investigate the epidemiological trait of intestinal diseases of animals caused by thermophilic Campylobacter spp., isolation of etiological agent was carried out. Isolated Campylobacter spp. were biotyped, serotyped and the susceptibility of the isolates to antimicrobial agents were examined. Th results were as follows. 1. Isolation rates of Campylobacter spp. from 649 fecal materials of 208 cattle, 300 pigs and 141 chickens were 25.5%, 23.7% and 38.3%, respectively. 2. The majority of the 130 isolates of C jejuni was classified as biotype I(50.6%) and biotype II (34.6%). Most of the 46 isolates of C coli were biotype I (71.7%). 3. Isolated C jejuni strains showed 14 different serotype, and serotype 4, 26, 36 were most frequent. Isolated C coli strains showed 5 different serotype and serotype 31 and 21 were relatively common. 4. Isolated Campylobacter spp. were highly susceptible to nalidixic acid, amikacin, gentamicin, colistin and chlorampehnocol.

The aim of this study was to compare crop contamination between two irrigation methods using microbial-contaminated water. The effect of relative humidity on microbial survival of the three indicator microorganisms was also investigated. Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Clostridium perfringens ATCC 3624, and coliphage PRD1 were applied to irrigation water to grow cantaloupe, lettuce, and bell pepper. Half of the sixteen plots were subsurface drip irrigated (SDI) and the other half were furrow irrigated (FI). Two relative humidity levels were controlled at 15-65 % and 55-80 % for the dry and humid condition experiments, respectively. Samples of produce, surface soil, and subsurface soil at a depth of 10 cm were collected over a two-week period following the application of the study microorganisms. Overall, greater contamination of both produce and soil occurred in the FI plots. For the SDI plots, preferential water paths and resulting water appearance on the seed beds seemed to be responsible for produce contamination. Relative humidity levels did not appear to affect microbial survival in soil. PRD 1 showed lower inactivation rates than 5. coli in both dry and humid conditions. C. perfringens did not experience significant inactivation over the experimental period, suggesting this microorganism can be an effective indicator of fecal contamination.

A bacteriocin-producing organism, Enterococcus sp. T7, was isolated from human fecal samples. Bacteriocin T7, named tentatively as the bacteriocin, was produced by Enterococcus sp. T7 and it inhibited some strains of Lactobacillus. Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus, but not all the lactococci and gram-negative bacteria tested. Bacteriocin T7 inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, but the degree of inhibition was less than those for other sensitive gram-positive vacteria. Bacteriocin T7 in MRS broth started to produce at the middle of the exponential growth phase and the inhibitory activity reached its maximum level during the stationary growth phase. Bacteriocin T7 was stable against heat treatments, pH variations (pH 2-10), and exposure to organic solvents. The molecular weight of bacteriocin T7 was estimated to be 6.500 Da by SDS-PAGe. All these facts, including physico-chemical stabilities, small molecular size, and inhibition of Kisteria monocytogenes, indicate that bacteriocin T7 is likely to be a member of the class IIa bacteriocins.

Different types of milk products, such as kwacha golla, mawa, cheese, curd, and chocolate are popular in Bangladesh. However, the microbiological safety of these products is poorly understood. This study was performed to assess the microbiological quality of kwacha golla, a local milk product. Kwacha golla samples were collected from ten different areas of Rajshahi and Kushtia regions, and the quality of the each sample was assessed using various parameters including standard plate count, total coliform, fecal coliform, total fungi, and spore-forming bacteria, as well as food-borne microorganisms. Out of 300 samples, total coliform was detected at 56.66% (n= 300), exceeding the minimum allowable limit of 36.66%. Similarly, experiments were carried out with fungi and food-borne pathogens including Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella sp., and Staphylococcus aureus. Results revealed 85.33, 53, and 49.33% of the samples were contaminated by fungi, E. coli, and L. monocytogenes, respectively. However, all samples showed no contaminations of Salmonella sp. and Staphylococcus sp. Therefore, this study could be helpful to the people of Bangladesh by providing information on the possibility of a major health problem caused by the consumption of kwacha golla.

A PCR-aided monitoring of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) was performed over the period of 12 months by using fresh feces collected monthly from 5 dairy cows that had been identified as VTEC carriers. The PCR products were confirmed to be verotoxin genes by Southern hybridization using a gene fragment of verotoxin 2 as a probe. Although seasonal variation of VTEC shedding seemed to depend on each cow, several factors may have influenced the frequency of detection. Shedding of VTEC tended to be reduced during grazing from the middle of May up to the beginning of October. Only one cow was positive for VTEC in August. Dry-off was also suggested to have a depressive effect on VTEC shedding, i.e. 3 of 4 dry cows showed no shedding of VTEC. Contrary to these factors, winter or indoor rearing tended to increase VTEC with only 5/24 samples being negative during the period from November to April. Total VFA concentration was higher (p<0.05) in VTEC-positive feces than in VTEC-negative feces, while fecal pH and VFA proportions were not different. Partial sequences of verotoxin genes from feces of 4 VTEC-positive cows were nearly identical (99-100%), suggesting that gut bacteria sharing the same gene were distributed among the cows. The present results indicate that grazing and dry-off could be factors which reduce VTEC shedding, while winter/indoor rearing may be a factor which increases the shedding, possibly through on-farm interactions.

A thirty-five week old elk was referred for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) confirmation from Chungnam province in Korea. Necropsy revealed much bloody contents in the lumen of small and large intestines, and reddening of its mucosa. Microscopically, few coccidia showing various developmental stages were infiltrated in lamina propria of small intestine with granulomatous inflammation and congestion. They were identified as Eimeria spp. according to their location and morphological characteristics. Because fecal examination and oocyst culture were not available, the species of the Eimeria could not be confirmed. There were no detection of pathogenic bacteria such as clostridia and virus in intestinal contents. CWD was shown to be negative in immunohistochemistry test. In conclusion, it was the first Eimeria case detected in small intestine of Korean domestic elk as far as we know although Eimeria spp. were not the main cause of death.

Swine proliferative enteritis(SPE) caused by inかsoma intracellularis is a common enteric disaese of grower and finisher pig. Swine affected with SPE show variable clinical signs including diarrhea, weight loss, aberrant growth and death. The characteristic lesion of ileitis at necropsy is marked thickening of the last section of the small intestine. The inner lining of the thickened intestine proliferates almost like a cancer and curved rod bacteria(L intracellularis) are always seen inside the intestinal wall. Infected swine shed the organism in the feces. Isolation and growth of pure L intracellularis in vitro requires a suitable cell culture. This procedure is difficult and not a practical means of diagnosis, thus the polymerase chain reaction(PCR) test of feces can be used to determine whether a pig is shedding the infective organism. A sensitive assay based on amplification of a 319bp DffA fragment of the L intracellularis of Swine proliferative enteritis was attempted for the detection of the organism in the 62 feces of swine. L intracellularis was identified on three herds and detected in 6 fecal samples, representing a infection rate of 9.7%. The PCR was very sensitive and specific on the individual level. The PCR technique could be very useful for the diagnosis of this disease.

An epizootic of calf diarrhea occurred in a Korean native cattle farm located in Chonbuk province. The calves that had either bloody or watery diarrhea were 1 to 30 days old. Some of these animals died during the acute course of the disease. Five calves with predominant clinical signs were examined in more detail. Hematological and serum chemical findings were suggestive of dehydration and nutritional insufficiency. Fecal material from the calve was cultured on/in brilliant green agar (BGA), xylose-lysine deoxycholate (XLD) medium, MacConkey agar, eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar and triple sugar iorn (TSI) A bacteria was isolated. which was subsequently identificed as belonging to Salmonella spp. To differentiate Salmoenlla serotype, rfbs gene of S. dublin was amli- find (720 bp) by multiplex (PCR). The rfbS gene sequences of S, dublin ficld isolate(SDC-1) was com- pared with that off S. dublin(S-37) S, dublin(Ahn et al, 1996), S enteritidis(Ahn et al 1996)and S. typhi (Generbak accession No M29682). The identities of nucleotide sequences were 100%. 99.6%, 99.6%, 97.5% respectively.
