적조생물을 살조시키는 해양세균 Microcorcus sp. LG-5가 생산하는 세포외 분비 살조물질의 최적 생성조건, 살조물질의 특성과 한외여과 분획별 살조활성 및 해양생물에 미치는 영향을 조사함으로서 자연생태 조화형, 환경 친화적 적조방제 기술개발의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 연구한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Micrococcus sp. LG-5의 살조물질 생성 최적온도는 $20{\~}30^{\circ}C$로 살조활성이 $100{\%}$였으며, 살조물질 생성 최적 pH는 7.0, 최저 염농도는 $3.0{\%}$였다. 또한 세포외 분비 살조물질의 $IC_(50)$ 값은 $0.482{\%}$였다. 세포외 분비 살조물질의 열 안정성을 실험한 결과, 열처리한 배양여과액 $1{\%}$ 첨가시 12시간 후에 $31.4{\%}$, 24시간 후 $79.7{\%}$, 36시간 후 $94.6{\%}$의 살조활성을 보였고 $5{\%}, 10{\%}$의 경우 각자 36시간, 24시간 후에 $100{\%}$ 살조되었으며, 열처리하지 않은 배양여과액을 넣었을 때와 비교해볼 때 살조력에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 이와 같이 Micrococcus sp. LG-5가 생산, 분비하는 살조물질은 열에 안정한 내열성 물질로 판단된다. 또한 대사산물의 pH 안정성은 $pH 6.0{\~}8.0$에서 거의 $100{\%}$의 살조활성을 보였으며 $pH 5.0{\~}10.0$에서 살조활성이 $85{\%}$ 이상으로 나타나 살조물질은 약산성과 알카리에서 살조활성이 안정하였다. 또한 한외여과의 결과, 분자량 $>10,000, 10,000{\~}1,000, <1,000$의 3개의 분획 모두 살조활성이 있었으며, 각 분획 모두 열에 대단히 안정하였다. 각 분획별 $IC_(50)$ 값은 분자량 1,000 이상에서 강한 살조활성이 나타났으며 분자량 1,000 이하에서는 상대적으로 낮은 살조활성을 보였다. Micrococcus sp. LG-5가 해양세균에 미치는 영향은 E. faecalis, E. coli, K. pneumoniae 및 V. alginolyticus에 대해서는 항균력을 보였으나, P. aeruginosa, P. fluorescens, S. typhi, S. aureus, V. cholerae 및 V parahaemolyticus에 대해서는 전혀 항균력을 보이지 않았다. 그리고 적조생물에 미치는 영향은 A. tamarense, E. gymnastica, G. catenatum, G. niikimotoi, G. sanguineum, G. impudicum, H. triquetra, H akashiwo, P. micans와 Pyramimonas sp.에 대해서는 살조활성을 보였으나 Chlamydomonas sp., C. closterium, P. mininum, P. triestimum, Pseudonitzschia sp.와 S. trochoidea에 대해서는 살조활성을 보이지 않았다. 즉, 적조생물에 따라 살조활성이 다양하게 나타나 종 특이성이 낮았다. 먹이생물에 미치는 영향은 1 galbana를 제외하고 실험한 모든 먹이생물에 별다른 영향이 없거나 오히려 성장을 촉진시켰고, 또한 살조세균 배양여과액을 넙치 사육수에 $10{\%}$까지 투여하였을 때 양식 넙치에 미치는 유해한 생리학적 영향은 없었다. 이상의 연구 결과 살조세균 Micrococcus sp. LG-5의 배양여과액은 조사된 적조생물을 제외한 해양세균, 치${\cdot}$자어의 먹이생물 및 양식 넙치에 유해한 영향은 미치지 않을 것으로 판단된다. An algicidal bacterium, Micrococcus sp. LG-5 against the harmful dinoflagellate, Cochlodinium polykrikoides was isolated. The optimal conditions for the highest algicidal activity of bacterial culture filtrate showed in the range of $20{\~}30^{\circ}C$, at pH 7.0 and $3.0{\%}$ of NaCl concentration. In addition, $IC_(50)(mean of 50{\%} inhibitory concentration)$ of the culture filtrate against C. polykrikoides after incubation of 5 days was $0.482{\%}$. To investigate heat and pH stability of the culture filtrate of Micrococcus sp. LG-5, the culture filtrate ($pore size, 0.1 {\mu}m$) was heated to $121^{\circ}C for 15 min$ and adjusted pH from 2.0 to 10.0. There were no significant changes in algicidal activity by heat treatment and the pH change between pH from 5.0 to 10.0. The algicidal substances produced from Micrococcus sp. LG-5 were mainly detected in the fraction of $10,000{\~}1,000$ MWCO (molecular weight cut-off). The culture filtrate of Micrococous sp. LG-5 showed antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis, Escheiichia coli, Uebsiella pneunioniae and Vibrio altinolyticus, but did not show against Pseudomonas aeminosa, P. Buorescens, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, V. cholerae and V parahaemolyicus. The culture filtrate of Micrococcus sp. LG-5 was examined against 16 phytoplankton species and showed the algicidal activity against Ajexandzium tuarense, Eutreptiella Drnnastin, Gymnodinium catenatum, G. mikimotoi, G. sanguineum, eyodinium impuaicum, Heterocapsa triquetra, Heterosipa akashiwo, Prorocentrum micans and Pyraminonas sp.. However no algicidal effects of Micrococcus sp. LG-5 were observed against Chlamydomonas sp., Cylindrotheoa closterium, P. mininum, P. triestimum, Pseudonieschia sp. and Sczipuiella trochoidea. On the other hand, algicidal activity on the tested marinelivefood was not detected except for Isochrysis galbana. In addition, physiological responses of cultured olive flounder (Paralichthys oliraceus) exposed to $1 and 10{\%}$ of the culture filtrate of Micrococcus sp. LG-5 were measured. There were no clear changes in AST, GGT, creatinine, urea, total cholesterol, total protein, albumine, $Mg^(+2), Ca^(+2), Na^+, K^+, and Cl^-$. These results indicate that olive flounders were not affected when they were exposed to the culture filtrate of Micrococcus sp. LG-5.

최근 다약제 내성균주의 출현과 후천성 면역결핍증으로 인한 결핵발병률의 증가는 전 세계적으로 중요한 보건문제가 되었다. 따라서 보다 빠르고 신뢰할 만한 진단법은 결핵박멸을 위한 가장 중요한 필요조건 중의 하나일 것이다. 본 연구는 171명의 환자를 대상으로 폐결핵 진단의 전통적 방법들 (X-선, 항산성 염색, 배양)과 PCR법간의 진단적 가치와 효율성을 비교 검토하기 위해 시행하였다. 흉부 X-선 소견 및 검사 결과 그리고 다른 임상 소견들을 통해 결핵으로 확진된 예는 전체 171건의 검체 중 39예 (22.8%)였다. 이러한 확진을 근거로 할 때 각 검사별 민감도, 특이도, 효율성, 위양성률, 위음성률을 살펴보면 흉부 X-선의 경우 각각 69.2%, 87.1%, 83.0%, 12.9%, 30.8%; 항산성 염색의 경우 79.9%, 95.5%, 91.8%, 4.6%, 20.5%; 배양의 경우 56.4%, 99.2%, 89.5%, 0.8%, 43.6%; PCR의 경우 82.1%, 96.2%, 93.0%, 3.8%, 17.9%였다. PCR의 경우 가장 높은 민감도 및 효율성과 가장 낮은 위음성률을 보였다. 배양법은 가장 높은 특이도와 가장 낮은 위양성률을 보였다. 결론적으로 PCR은 결핵 진단을 위한 신속하고 효율적인 우수한 검사 방법이므로 일상적 임상 검사로의 활용가치가 매우 높다고 하겠다. 그러나 전통적인 여러 방법들 역시 임상상황에 따라 그 나름대로의 특별한 가치를 지니고 있으므로 철저한 정도관리를 통해 PCR과 병행한다면 결핵균 검출율을 보다 높일 수 있으리라 판단된다. In recent years continuously increasing number of tuberculosis (TB) cases due to the emergence of strains with multidrug resistance and AIDS is a significant global health problem. Therefore, more rapid and reliable diagnosis of TB may be one of the most urgent needs in efforts to eradicate the disease. The present study was designed to compare and assess the diagnostic values and efficiencies between the conventional methods (X-ray, AFB stain and culture) and PCR for pulmonary TB on 171 cases. Chest X-ray finding and clinical features revealed that 39 (22.8%) of 171 sputum specimens were pulmonary TB cases. The statistical data were taken on the basis of the definitive diagnosis: In X-ray, overall sensitivity, specificity, efficiency and false positive and false negative incidence was respectively 69.2%, 87.1%, 83.0%, 12.9%, and 30.8%; 79.5%, 95.5%, 91.8%, 4.6% and 20.5% in AFB-stain; 56.4%, 99.2%, 89.5%, 0.8% and 43.6% in culture; 82.1%, 96.2%, 93.0%, 3.8% and 17.9% in PCR. PCR got a highest sensitivity and efficiency as well as a lowest false negative incidence. Culture had a highest specificity with a lowest false positive incidence. These results imply that PCR assay is fast, sensitive and efficient method for diagnosis of pulmonary TB. However, combined use of the conventional methods with thorough quality control may offer more opportunities for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis and diagnosting TB although they have some limits.

의료 관련 감염을 예방하기 위한 필수적 방법은 일관성이 있는 감염감시 시스템을 구축하고 효율적인 감시 통제를 수행하기 위해 신뢰할 수 있는 상황에 대해 진단을 향상시켜나가는 것이다. 또한 의료 종사자의 손과 의복 및 장비는 환자 관리 및 환경과 접촉하여 병원체가 오염되는 요인이다. 병원체를 가진 시설 표면(예: 침대 레일, 침대 옆 탁자), 음용수, 냉각탑용수, 내시경기구, 급식위생, 공기매개, 멸균검사, 내독소검사, 및 의료 장비를 포함한 의료 환경의 오염은 일반적으로 발생한다. 또한 이러한 감염원을 활동 감시를 통해 MLST, PFGE의 기법으로 역학 분석을 수행한다. 따라서 HAI 예방을 위한 환경 감시배양 검사는 환자의 안전과 감염원의 차단을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 국가의 감염관리 시스템을 통제하여 최적의 효율적인 감염관리 예방을 가능케 하고 국가의 감염관리 시스템의 안전을 향상시킨다. 결론적으로 감시배양 검사의 표준화를 통해 실효성 있는 감염관리체계에 이바지하고 감염관리 전문인력으로서의 전문성을 확보하고자 한다. 이를 통해 표준화 마련의 일차적인 목표는 의료관련 감염을 줄이고 국가적 의료관리 체계를 향상시키는데 있다. An essential measure to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAI) is to develop a consistent system of surveillance, thereby promoting a reliable situation diagnosis to perform efficient control for the problem. Patient-to-patient transmission of pathogens within the hospital plays a substantial role in the epidemiology of HAIs. Contamination of healthcare environments commonly occurs, including facilities surfaces (e.g., bed rails, bedside tables), drinking water, cooling tower water, endoscopic instruments, food, airborne, endotoxin test, sterile test and medical equipment, with pathogenic organisms. In addition, epidemiological analysis is performed by multi locus sequence tying, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis for active surveillance. Therefore, an environmental surveillance culture test for prevention improves patient safety and blocks infection agents. Effective infection control and increased safety are possible by controlling the national infection control system. In conclusion, this study contributes to an effective infection control system through the standardization of active surveillance culture laboratory and secure expertise as infection control specialist. The primary objective of the standardization is to improve the safety of the nation’s healthcare system by reducing the rates of HAIs.

A Study on Urinary Tract Infections in Intensive Care Unit Patients with an Indwelling Urinary Catheter

Seong, Hee Kyung,Kim, Yoo Ho 대한의생명과학회 2001 Biomedical Science Letters Vol.7 No.3

This study was performed in order to evaluate the risk factors for nosocomial urinary tract infection and the frequencies of organisms isolated, and to provide the epidemiologic and basic data of hospital acquired urinary tract infection in intensive care unit. A prospective analysis was performed with 1,235 urine samples following urinary bladder catheterization in 569 patients, who had no evidence of UTI at the time of catheter insertion, admitted to intensive care unit in Pusan Phospital between June 1997 and May 1998. To identify risk factors for UTI, clinical characteristics of infected patients were analyzed. We analyzed these data by percentage, chi-square and odd ratio. Obtained results were as follows: A total of 569 patients (male 341 and female 228) were an average age of 50.8 years and catheterization of 8.04 days. Incidence of UTI was 16.1% (199/1,235) and The risk factors of UTI were duration of catheterization over 7 days, no use of systemic antibiotics, summer and female, and During the first 7 days these risk factors were no use of systemic antibiotics, summer, place of first catheter insertion (ICU) and type of intensive care unit (NSICU). A total of 220 the isolated strains were Gram negative rod 83 (37.7%), yeast like fungi 74 (33.6%) and Gram positive cocci 63 (28.6%). The common organisms isolated were Enterococcus faecalis 23 (10.5%), Serratia marcescens 19 (8.6%), Pseudomonas spp. 17 (7.7%), E. coli 16 (7.3%), Staphylococcus epidermidis 11 (5.0%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae 8 (3.6%). Therefore, in these results 199 of 569 (35%) patients in ICU with indwelling urinary catheter developed UTI. The risk factors for UTI are prolonged duration of catheterization, no use of systemic antibiotics, summer, and female.

A Study on the Effectiveness and the Distribution of Isolated Strains by Sputum Collection Methods

Seong, Hee Kyung,Lee, Jeong Nyo 대한의생명과학회 2002 Biomedical Science Letters Vol.8 No.2

This study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of the aspiration trap method for collection of sputum by comparing with the conventional method which was collecting specimens at canular cap swab. In this study, the author tested by two methods to collect specimens from 46 patients who were cared with tracheostomy and intubation at the intensive care unit of an university hospital in Pusan, and investigated the incidence of the lower respiratory tract infection, the consistency between the two methods, the level of specimen contamination. Major results were as follows: Among the patients, 35 were cared with tracheostomy and 11 were cared with intubation. In clinical diagnosis we were classified the subjects in to two group, 17 of pneumonia group and 29 of non-pneumonia group. A total of 247 strains were isolated. Among them, most three strains were Serratia marcescens (62 strains; 25.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (52 strains; 21.1%), and Acinetobacter baumannii (19 strains; 7.8%). Out of total, 188 (76.1%) strains were Gram negative bacilli. The isolated strains by the aspiration trap method were the average 2.1 strains, but by the canular cap swab method were 1.6 strains. In spite of the high contaminated possibility from the incision site and the oral cavity swab, the low isolated rates of the canular cap may be the dried environment of the canular of cap area. But the contamination rates were 57.2% of the canular cap, 51.5% of the oral swab and 50.5% of the incision site swab, respectively. The consistency of predominant microorganisms according to collection method were 86.7% of aspiration, 78.3% of canular, 74.3% of incision, and 63.6% of oral. In conclusion, the aspiration trap method for the sputum collection from the patients with intubation of tracheostomy showed the lower contamination rate of the specimens and it was helpful for rapid, accurated interpretation of the lower respiratory tract infection and hospital infection

Edwardsiella tarda 에 의해 유발된 가물치 복수증에 관한 연구

김영자,성희경,이훈구,박이헌,조극래 한국수산학회 1990 한국수산과학회지 Vol.23 No.5

The bacterium Edwardsiella tarda was injected into healthy snakeheads(Channa argus) in order to prove the causative agent of ascite. The bacterium dominantly isolated from 2 cultured ascite snakeheads was injected into fish by the dose of 5×10^6 CFU/ 0.25㎖, but the same dose of 0.65% physiological saline was injected into the each control. The injected fish was divided into 4 groups such as intraperitoneal, intramuscle, control intraperitoneal and control intramuscle according to their injection points. Each was composed of 10 healthy snakeheads respectively. Ascites and haemorrhagic ulcers became distinct 5 days after injection, but controls did not show any abnormal symptoms during the experimental period. Edwardsiella tarda was reisolated out of the injected fish's ascite, liver, kidney, spleen and haemorrhagic ulcer on the skin. Regardless of the injecting methods, liver was necrotized more severely than any other internal organ, but both the glomeruli of kidney and spleen were considerably damaged. Necrosis of muscle and a number of leucocytes were observed at the ulcerous region of the intramuscular injected fish. It is concluded that judging from the above results the Edwardsiella tarda is a causative agent to cause ascite in snakehead.
