Objectives: The object of this study was to observe the in vitro anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of three single aqueous herbal extracts(Trichosanthes Semen, Gardeniae Fructus, and Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), traditionally used for treating various gynecological diseases including mastitis in Korea, against Staphylococcus aureus and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-activated Raw 264.7 cells. Methods: Anti-bacterial activities of three single aqueous herbal extracts against S. aureus were detected using standard agar microdilution methods. In addition, the effects on the cell viability, $PGE_2$, NO, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$ and IL-6 productions of LPS activated Raw 264.7 cells. The anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects were compared with lincomycin and piroxicam, respectively in the present study. Results: MIC of three single aqueous herbal extracts against S. aureus were detected as over 25, $4.063{\pm}2.096$ and $1.641{\pm}0.972$ mg/ml, respectively. MIC of lincomycin was detected as $0.469{\pm}0.297{\mu}g/ml$ at same conditions. In addition, $ED_{50}$ against LPS-induced cell viabilities and cytokine releases of three single aqueous herbal extracts were as follows - cell viability: 7.635, 13.761, 6.986 mg/ml, NO production : 4.808, 22.015, 2.949 mg/ml, $PGE_2$ production : 3.040, 4.312, 0.821 mg/ml, TNF-${\alpha}$ production : 9.563, 54.931, 1.240 mg/ml, IL-$1{\beta}$ production : 1.362, 1.801, 0.534 mg/ml, IL-6 production : 0.371, 0.797, 0.202 mg/ml, respectively. $ED_{50}$ of piroxicam against LPS-induced cell viabilities, NO, $PGE_2$, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$ and IL-6 were detected as 35.179, 6.552, 1.162, 7.273, 7.101 and 5.044 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively at same conditions. Conclusions: The results of the study showed anti-bacterial effects against S. aureus in the order of Gardeniae Fructus and Angelicae Dahuricae Radix aqueous extracts, except for Trichosanthes Semen. They also showed anti-inflammatory effects against LPS-activated Raw 264.7 cells in the order of Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Trichosanthes Semen, and Gardeniae Fructus aqueous extracts. These three herbs are expected to be great substitutes to reduce side-effect of lincomycin and piroxicam, if the amount of those three single aqueous herbal extracts is adjusted appropriately.

To develop effective and safe acne vulgaris therapies with a continuing demand for new solutions, we investigated unique efficacy of an antibacterial agent from marine brown alga Eisenia bicyclis in treating acne vulgaris. The methanolic extract of E. bicyclis exhibited potential antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest antibacterial activity against the bacteria among solvent fractions. Six compounds (1-6), previously isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of E. bicyclis, were evaluated for antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria. Among them, compound 2 (fucofuroeckol-A [FF]) exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 32 to $128{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. Furthermore, FF clearly reversed the high-level erythromycin and lincomycin resistance of Propionibacterium acnes. The MIC values of erythromycin against P. acnes were dramatically reduced from 2,048 to $1.0{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ in combination with MIC of FF ($64{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$). The fractional inhibitory concentration indices of erythromycin and lincomycin were measured from 0.500 to 0.751 in combination with 32 or $64{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of FF against all tested P. acnes strains, suggesting that FF-erythromycin and FF-lincomycin combinations exert a weak synergistic effect against P. acnes. The results of this study suggest that the compounds derived from E. bicyclis can be a potential source of natural antibacterial agents and a pharmaceutical component against acnerelated bacteria.

Enterotoxigenk E. coli is one of the major causative agents of the infantile diarrhea and traveler's diarrhea. The heat-labile enterotoxin is thought to be a virulence factor in the pathogenesis of the diarrhea and to be a marker for identification of the enterotoxigenic E. coli from non pathogenic E. coli. Therefore knowledge about the heat-labile enterotoxin is essential not only for understanding the pathogenesis but also for the diagnosis of the diarrhea. However the in-vitro heat-labile enterotoxin production is reported to be greatly affected by the cultural condition. In this regards, this study was designed to know the optimal conditions for the production of the heat-labile enterotoxin by assaying the permeability factor in the 18 hours culture supernatant of E. coli 08K25(B2) H9 and of E. coli 015 H11. Results obtained were summerized as follows: 1. Amounts of heat-labile enterotoxin produced were greater at initial pH 8.5 than at 7.0 of CYES-2 broth culture. However, the bacterial growth itself was more abundant at 7.0 than at 8.5. 2. Heat-labile enterotoxin per unit volume of culture supernatant was greater at shaking culture than at standing culture condition, but ratio of the enterotoxin produced over the unit mass of E. coli calculated was greater at standing culture than shaking culture condition, indicating that the greater yields of the toxin produced at shaking culture was due to increase in E. coli cell mass compared to the standing culture condition: 3. The enterotoxin produced in the lincomycin(128 microgram/ml) supplemented media was 5 or 11 times greater on the basis of enterotoxin per unit mass of E. coli, compared to the lincomycin-non-supplemented media, indicating that lincomycin itself increases the enterotoxin production. 4. Treatment of 18 hours culture of E. coli with polymyxin B(0.2 mg/ml) for 1 hour increased the yields of enterotoxin amounting to 2 or 5 times of the non-treated control cultures.

It is certainly a difficult work to find out novel-type "practical" antibiotic from natural sources. In fact, chemically modified antibiotics, such as synthetic penicillins, cephalosporins, derivatives of tetracycline, lincomycin, rifamycin and kanamycin are most widely used in medical practice at present. However, as the possibility of success gained by chemical modification is limited, it would be the buty of our applied microbiologists to offer novel antibiotics to chemist and physician without interruption. In this lecture, some practical problems in new antibiotic research will be discussed.(중략)

The rational approach to antimicrobial therapy of infected root canals is based on accurate identification of the infecting organism and on the organism's susceptibility to antimicrobial agents as measured by standardized techniques. In establishing criteria for the selection of antibiotics, a susceptibility test should be performed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the susceptibility of 224 aerobic and anaerobic microbial strains isolated from infected root canals to various antibiotics. This was performed by using 7 antibiotic sensi-disc: Penicillin (10 units), Ampicillin (10 mcg), Tetracycline (30 mcg), Streptomycin (10 mcg), Kanamycin (30 mcg), Lincomycin (2 mcg), and Clindamycin (2 mcg). The results were as follows; 1. Strains isolated from infected root canals was shown to be most susceptible to Clindamycin, while Streptomycin exhibited least antibacterial properties. 2. Anaerobes were found to be susceptible to Penicillin, Ampicillin, and Clindamycin. 3. Streptomycin and Kanamycin were shown to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis, however, unidentified G(+) cocci organisms were found to be resistant to these agents. 4. Bifidobacterium sp. was susceptible to Lincomycin while G(+) rods were resistant to it. 5. Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus sp., and anaerobes were highly susceptible to Clindamycin. 6. All of the antibiotics tested were shown to be very effective against Eubacterium sp.

미생물에 의한 균체외 단백질의 생산 및 그 분비조건에 관한 기초자료를 얻기 위해 토양으로 부터 단백질 생산균주 11주를 분리하여 그 중 단백질 생산능이 강한 WY-60 균주를 선정하여 동정한 결과, Bacillus sp.으로 확인되었다. WY-60 균주의 단백질생산 최적조건은 fructose 4.0%, polypeptone 1.0%, $NH_4NO_3$ 0.1%, $K_2HPO_4$ 0.1%, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ 0.005%, $CaCO_3$ 1.0%, pH 8.0 및 온도 $30^{\circ}C$이였다. WY-60 균주는 penicillin G와 lincomycin을 첨가시에 단백질 생산을 촉진하였고 그 외의 항생물질의 첨가시는 단백질 생산을 증가하는 효과가 없었다. 배양시간에 따른 단백질 생산은 배양 5일째에 0.214 mg/ml로 최대가 되었다.
