  • The naturally occurring plasmids of Vibrio species have been isolated in part to investigate their genetic traits. Among six different Vibrio species tested, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio mimicus and Vibrio furnissi did not show any presence of plasmid. One environmental isolate of Vibrio pnrahemolyticus harboring plasmid was observed. The isolated plasmid was 8.7 kb by analysis with restriction endonuclease digestion. No common feature was shown relationships between the presence of plasmid and resistance against commonly used antibiotic compounds from the tested Vibrios. Key words . plasmid, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio uulnincus, Vibrio mimicus, Vibrio furnissi, Vibrio parahemolyticus.

  • Foodborne pathogenic bacteria in various food samples in Korea were monitored and the obtained data was statistically analyzed. A total of 1,240 food samples including 280 sashimi, 244 processed frozen products, 258 kimbab (cooked rice wrapped with seaweed), 337 soybean pastes were obtained from 7 cities including Seoul in Korea. Microorganisms tested were Bacillus cereus, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, E. coli O157:H7, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, and Clostridium perfringens. The contaminated microorganisms in food samples were comprised of 10.55% B. cereus, 2.7% S. aureus, 2.0% V. parahaemolyticus, 0.8% C. perfringens, 0.2% Y. enterocolitica, and 0.1% of L. monocytogenes, respectively. Salmonella spp., C. jejuni, and E. coli O157:H7 were not detected in any of the food samples. Particularly, B. cereus that harbors the enterotoxin gene was detected in various foods and regions in Korea, therefore it should be a given special consideration not to allow the hazardous level of contamination.

  • 비브리오균은 해양 및 하구 환경에서 상재하는 균으로 그람 음성 간균, 호염성, 비포자형성의 특징을 가지고 있다. 질병과 관련된 균주로는 Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio cholera 등이 있다. 매년 어패류의 섭취 등을 통해 식중독 사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 이에 본 연구에서는 서해안 6곳에서 패류를 채취하여 비브리오균의 분포도를 모니터링하고, 이들의 항생제 내성을 분석하였다. 총 120건의 패류를 TCBS 평판배지와 API 20E kit 기법으로 동정하였을 때 23.3%의 시료에서 비브리오균이 검출되었다. 이들 분리균주들의 항생제 내성을 16종의 항생제에 대해 분석한 결과 82.1%가 각각 vancomycin과 ampicillin에 대해 내성을 보였고, rifampin (71.4%)과 cephalothin (53.6%)에 대한 내성비율도 다른 항생제들에 비해 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 분리균주들의 항생제 감수성은 chloramphenicol (92.9%), sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (92.9%)과 tetracycline (96.4%)에 대해 가장 높았다. 분리균주들의 약 71.4%가 vancomycin과 ampicillin을 포함하여 3개 이상의 항생제에 대해 다중내성을 보였다.

  • The essential oil obtained by steam distillation from medicinal plants of Cinnamomum cassia and Prunellae Herba. Analysis of essential oils were performed on GC/MS selective detector. Separations were performed fused silica capillary column. The carrier gas was ultra pure helium with a flow of 1 $m{\ell}/min$ and the splitless injector temperature was set as $280^{\circ}C$. The column temperature program was as follows: initial temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ for 4 min, and increased by $2^{\circ}C/min$ 70 to $100^{\circ}C$ (held 2 min), After that the temperature was varied from 100 to $200^{\circ}C$ at $5^{\circ}C/min$ (held 20 min), increase to $280^{\circ}C$ (held 5 min) at $10^{\circ}C/min$, in a total run time of 73 min. Ten volatile flavor components were identified from C. cassia and ten volatile flavor components were identified from Prunellae Herba. Strong inhibition of growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was obtained with all doses of C. cassia tested. Moreover, antimicrobial activity of C. cassia occurred in a dose dependant manner.

  • This study was conducted to clarify the antimicrobial effect, antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities of the biological composition having the Phytolacca americana, and to enhance the natural materials utilization of foods and cosmetics. The antimicrobial activities of the different parts of P. americana were evaluated using the agar diffusion test. The antimicrobial activity of P. americana was relatively high in Malassezia furfur known as a skin fungi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus compared to Escherichia coli and Staphy-lococcus epidermidis. However, the antimicrobial activity in Vibrio parahaemolyticus did not show at all parts of P. americana. Both the DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity have been increased with the higher concentration of methanol extract. In particular, leaf extract of P. americana exhibited the highest activity both ABTS radical scavenging activity and DPPH radical scavenging activity. The nitrite scavenging activity was decreased when the pH was changed from pH 1.2 to pH 6.0. The highest nitrite scavenging activity was exhibited from the methanol extract of fruit, followed by root, stem, and leaf at pH 1.2. However, the nitrite scavenging activity at pH of 6.0 was not almost detected. All plant parts of P. americana showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity. The highest activity was found in the stem, and followed by root, leaf, and fruit in order. These tyrosinase inhibitory activity was progressively increased in a concentration-dependent manner. In this experiment on the methanol extracts of different organ from P. americana, we confirmed that the extract of P. americana showed potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Taken together, we conjectured that the P. americana had the potent biological activities, therefore this plant having various functional components could be a good material for development into source of natural food additives and cosmetics.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to apply the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system to the production of seasoned laver products. The hazard analysis examined microbial evaluations and developed a HACCP management plan through the heating process. Methods: In this study we chose three companies and performed the analysis thrice. During this study, general bacteria along with other food poisoning bacteria such as Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, E.coil, O157:H7, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, were studied at varying temperatures from 100 to $300^{\circ}C$. Results: The presence of general bacteria was detected in raw laver in the samples analyzed from all the three companies, and the number ranged from $10^5-10^7$. Bacillus cereus was detected in samples from only two of the three companies analyzed. However, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, E.coil, O157:H7, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were all negative. General bacteria was reduced to $10^5$ after being subjected to temperatures of $100-250^{\circ}C$, but heating to over $270^{\circ}C$ reduced the number to below $10^3$, and the other microbes such as Bacillus cereus were not detected. Conclusions: In conclusion, the heating process ($270-280^{\circ}C$) along with RPM of 100-1200 were identified as CCP to reduce biological hazards.

  • A total of 113 Vibrio sp. strains were examined for plasmid content which were subjected to digestion with restriction enzymes. About the 55% Vibrio spp. have the plasmid more than one. Most of these plasmid various derivatives ranged from $2.4\;kb{\sim}23\;kb$, especially two strains of V. mimicus and one strain of V. furnissii carried one high-molecular weight plasmid (molecular weight ranging between $70\;kb{\sim}100\;kb$). Results of restriction analysis for plasmid of this three strains were by no means the rule. For detection of tdh and ctx gene, the virulence factor involved in the pathogenesis, we carried out the TDH and CT assay, PCR amplification, and hybridization. A total 11 strains were produced TDH, involved in 9 strains of V. parahaemolyticus and 1 strain of V. alginolyticus from clinical isolates and 1 strains of V. mimicus from environmental isolates. In the experiments of tdh gene detection, in all, 3 strains of V. parahaemolyticus from clinical isolates and 2 strains from environmental isolates could be successfully amplified in 400 bp by PCR. The PCR results were consistent with DNA hybridization tests. In the experiments of CT assay, in all, 3 strains of V. cholerae from clinical isolate and 1 strain of V. cholerae from environmental isolates were observed CT-producing. These CT-producing strains amplified in 302 bp by PCR for the detection of ctx gene. All CT-producing strains hybridized with digoxigenin-labeled DNA probe, while CT-negative strains did not hybridize. Also hybridization tests results for detection of ctx gene consistent with PCR.
