본 연구는 항균성 코팅제의 개념과 동향파악으로 항균성 코팅제의 연구개발의 방향을 설정하는데 도움을 주기 위한 것이다. 항균제는 미생물을 제거하거나 성장을 저지하는데 사용되는 화합물이며 항균 코팅제에 함유되는 항균제용 재료는 무기물, 금속, 저분자 유기물, 천연유기물, 고분자가 있다. 항균코팅제는 생활용품, 병원용품, 산업용품, 전자제품, 의류, 건축 내장재 등의 표면의 항균성 부여에 쓰인다. 기존 항생제는 세균의 세포벽을 손상하지 않고 미생물을 침투하나 항균성 고분자는 세포막을 파괴하므로 항생제의 내성을 방지할 수 있다. 대부분의 고분자 항균제는 양이온 고분자에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 항균제의 분자설계와 코팅제 배합의 합리화로 항균제의 선택성, 내구성, 독성 문제가 개선될 것이다.

In this study, antimicrobial and antioxidative activities were investigated using the hot water extracts of Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) in order to develop RVS as a natural antimicrobial and antioxidative material. The antimicrobial activity was not found against five strains of yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces pastorianus, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, and Zygosaccharomyces bailii) while the activity was confirmed against five strains of bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus licheniformis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) at the RVS extract concentration of 0.2-1.0% (w/v) by plate cultural method. In the investigation for 24 hours by turbidometry, the antimicrobial activity showed a relatively high growth inhibition of 79.7% against Bacillus subtilis. The highest growth inhibition of 82.6% was against Bacillus licheniformis at the RVS extract concentration of 2,000 μg/mL. The lowest growth inhibition was 25.7-44.1% against E. coli at the extract concentration of 250 μg/mL and 2,000 μg/mL. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the RVS extract were 42.48 mg/g and 5.42 mg/g, respectively. The highest antioxidative activity at 79.15% was observed at the RVS extract concentration of 0.5 mg/mL by DPPH. Also the antioxidative activity by ABTS demonstrated the highest level at 81.56% at the same concentration. It can be gleaned from these results that the hot water extract of RVS has a great potential to be a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial material against gram positive bacteria(Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate antimicrobial effects of organic acid and some natural occurring antimicrobials against Staphylococcus aureus isolated from various origins (vegetables, peanut, pea leaf, kim- bab, person, perilla leaf, and animal) and to calculate their MIC and MBC values. Five organic acids (acetic, lactic, citric, malic, and propionic acid), three essential oils (carvacrol, thymol, and eugenol), and two other natural antimicrobials (nisin and cinnamic acid) were evaluated for their antimicrobial effects against 113 strains of S. aureus using combination treatments. Propionic acid (7%), nisin (1%), thymol (1%), carvacrol (1%) showed antimicrobial activities against S. aureus strains in agar disc diffusion test. And, carvacrol, thymol, and nisin were found to be the most effective with the lowest MIC values of 0.0313%, 0.0625%, and 0.0625% against S.aureus, respectively. Propionic acid (0.2313%) and citric acid (0.6000%) were the most effective among organic acids tested. Therefore, these five antimicrobials were selected for next combination treatments. Combination of propionic acid and citric acid were showed the strongest inhibitory effectiveness against S. aureus among combination treatments. These results suggest that organic acid such as propionic and citric acid, and natural occurring antimicrobial such as nisin, carvacrol, and thymol might be possibly used as preservatives for inhibiting S. aureus in foods.

PHMB/EGCG 혼합물의 ISO 규정 안질환 균주에 대한 최소저해농도는 0.00005%/ 0.05%로 PHMB 최소저해농도의 25% 수준에서도 충분한 항균효과를 나타내었다. 결론: PHMB와 EGCG 혼합물은 ISO 규정 안질환 균주에 대하여 항균 시너지 효과를 나타내어 다목적 용액에 사용하는 PHMB 농도를 낮출 수 있을 것으로 보이며 이 결과는 콘택트렌즈 관리용액 개발에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This research was carried out to find herbal preservatives for Makgeolli, as Makgeolli loses its commercial value due to overproduced acidic materials. When Makgeolli was kept at 25℃ to find the changes in acidity, total microbial cell number, yeast cell number, and bacterial species variety, a sudden increase of acidity as well as the disappearance of yeast cells occurred at day 6, and Makgeolli was changed to complete off-flavor. Acetobacter pasteurianus is the main acidifier in Makgeolli and shows a synergy effect in acid formation when cultured in combination with Lactobacillus casei. Among 12 herbs, the ethanol extract of Sutellaria baicalensis showed antimicrobial activity against A. pasteurianus, whereas the ethanol extract of Coptidis rhizoma showed antimicrobial activity against L. casei. Makgeolli added with Sutellaria baicalensis extracts demonstrated a lower acidity than that with Coptidis rhizoma extracts, which indicates that the inhibition of an acetic acid former is more important than that of a lactic acid former in Makgeolli preservation. Sutellaria baicalensis extracts prolonged the shelf life of Makgeolli by 1～2 weeks at a minimal inhibitory concentration (0.63 ㎎/㎖) during storage at 10℃.

We sought to study the qualities and scientific benefits of Dongchimi, a traditional Korean food. We compared and analyzed ingredients used for the appearance and storability of dongchimi - honggot (Brassica juncea czerniak et coss), cockscomb (Celosia cristata L.), and beet Beta vulgaris L.). We specifically examined the antioxidative and antibacterial activity of pigments from extracts of these ingredients. Distilled water (H2O) and 1% citric acid were used to safely extract pigments. The antioxidative activity of the pigments was then measured for total phenolic compounds, SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase), and EDA (Electron Donation Ability) by DPPH. The antibacterial activity of was also assessed by a Paper disc solution. Our results show that the pigments had sufficient antioxidative activity and had antibacterial properties against Gram positive and negative bacteria. In particular, Cockscomb (used for enhancing color) contained the highest amount of polyphenol compounds and had the most efficient antioxidative activity.

Salmonellosis is a major bacterial zoonosis that causes self-limited enteritis to fatal infection in animals and food-borne infection and typhoid fever in humans. Multidrug-resistant strains of Salmonella spp. has increased over the last several decades and recently causes more serious problems in public health. The present study was investigated bacteriocidal effects of sodium chlorate, sodium azide, sodium cyanide, and sodium salts mixture containing sodium chlorate, sodium azide, and sodium cyanide on infection with S. typhimurium in macrophage RAW 264.7 cells, and antibacterial effects of sodium salts mixture for murine salmonellosis. In infection assay of S. typhimurium in RAW 264.7 cells, bacterial survival rates within macrophage in all treated groups was significantly reduced comparing to that of the control group with the passage of incubation time. Administration of sodium salts mixture showed a therapeutic effect for S. typhimurium infected ICR mice. The mortality of mice treated with sodium salts mixture was 70% until 12 days, while that of control mice was 100% until 9 days after S. typhimurium infection. The results of this study strongly indicate that sodium salts mixture has a potency treatment for murine salmonellosis.

The present study was investigated the antibacterial effect of several sodium salts and the sodium salt mixture composed with sodium chlorate, sodium azide and sodium cyanide on Salmonella gallinarum (S. gallinarum) infection in murine derived macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. In the infection assay of S. gallinarum in macrophage cells pretreated with 15 mM sodium chlorate, 0.3 mM sodium cyanide, 0.3 mM sodium azide and the sodium salt mixture (15 mM sodium chlorate, 0.3 mM sodium cyanide, 0.3 mM sodium azide), respectively, the numbers of S. gallinarum in all treated-groups tended to decrease in the process of time after treatment, but the group treated with sodium cyanide was no significant difference compared with control. After 24 hours of treatment, the number of S. gallinarum in sodium azide (p<0.05), sodium chlorate (p<0.001) and the sodium salt mixture (p<0.001) treated-group was significantly decreased compared with control, and that in the sodium salt mixture treated-group was decreased the higher than all groups. The results of this study demonstrated that the sodium salt mixture composed with sodium chlorate, sodium azide and sodium cyanide, has the antimicrobial activity for S. gallinarum and may be beneficial on the control of intracellular pathogens.
