본 연구는 P. aeruginosa와 E. hirae을 대상으로 orthophenylphenol 20%를 함유한 훈증소독제, Fumagari OPP®의 살균효과를 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 예비 시험에서, P. aeruginosa와 E. hirae의 현탁액 균수는 각각 2.8 × 108 와 3.6 × 108CFU/mL이었으며, 모든 훈증소독제에 노출시킨 담체의 균수는 모두 평판배지법과 여과법으로 배양한 시험균주 현탁액의 균수의 50%보다 많았다. 또한, 대조 담체로부터 회복된 P. aeruginosa와 E. hirae 균수는 각각 2.9 × 106와 2.7 × 106CFU/mL이었다. 훈증소독제의 살균효과 시험에서는, 훈증소독제를 처리한 담체의 P. aeruginosa 와 E. hirae의 감소 균수는 각각 6.46와 5.19 logCFU/mL 로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터, 훈증소독제, Fumagari OPP®는 P. aeruginosa와 E. hirae에 대해 효과적인 살균력 을 갖는 것으로 확인되었으며, 병원성 세균에 오염된 식품재료 및 주방용품의 소독에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This test was performed to evaluate the bactericidal efficacy of a fumigation disinfectant containing 20% ortho-phenylphenol against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Enterococcus hirae (E. hirae). In preliminary tests, P. aeruginosa and E. hirae working culture suspension number (N value) were 2.8 × 108 and 4.0 × 108CFU/mL, respectively. And all the colony numbers on the carriers exposed to the fumigant (n1, n2, n3) were higher than 0.5N1 (the number of bacterial test suspentions by pour plate method), 0.5N2 (the number of bacterial test suspentions by filter membrane method) and 0.5N1, respectively. In addition, the mean number of P. aeruginosa and E. hirae recovered on the control-carriers (T value) was 2.8 × 108 and 3.4 × 106 CFU/mL, respectively. In the bactericidal effect of the fumigant, the reduction number of 2.8 × 108 (d value) was 6.46 and 5.19 logCFU/mL, respectively. According to the French standard for the fumigant, the d value for the effective bactericidal fumigant should be over than 5 logCFU/mL. With the results from this study, the fumigation disinfectant containing 20% ortho-phenylphenol has an effective bactericidal activity, then the fumigant can be applied to disinfect food materials and kitchen appliances contaminated with the pathogenic bacteria.

목적: 황색포도상구균(Staphylococcus aureus)과 녹농균(Pseudomonas aeruginosa)으로 오염시킨 RGP 렌즈를 3가지 종류의 다목적용액에 침윤시킨 후 각 시간대별 두 균주의 항균효과를 비교하여 렌즈 소독에 필요한 침윤시간을 제시하고자 한다. 대상과 방법: 황색포도상구균과 녹농균의 배양액(농도 109 Colony Forming Unit/ml) 0.1ml와 LB broth 0.9ml 혼합액에 RGP 렌즈를 넣은 후 24시간 배양 후 실험을 시행하였다. 3가지 종류의 다목적용액을 1시간, 2시간, 3시간, 4시간, 5시간, 6시간, 7시간 동안 침윤시켜 항균 효과를 비교하였다. 결과: 황색포도상구균과 녹농균에 대한 다목적용액 간에 항균효과 차이는, 시간대별로 1시간 침윤으로 전체 균의 cfu가 약 43~47%, 55~63% 감소하였고, 2시간 침윤으로는 약 77~80%, 77~86% 감소하였다. 3시간 침윤으로는 약 97~98%, 85~97% cfu가 감소하였고, 4시간 침윤으로는 100%, 95~100% cfu가 감소하였다. 그리고 5시간, 6시간, 7시간 침윤으로는 다목적용액 모두 황색포도상구균(Staphylococcus aureus)과 녹농균(Pseudomonas aeruginosa)이 검출되지 않았다. 결론: 황색포도상구균은 다목적용액 4시간 이상의 침윤시간에서 검출되지 않았고 녹농균은 다목적용액 5시간 이상의 침윤시간에서 세균이 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에 사용된 다목적용액을 RGP 콘택트렌즈 소독에 사용하는 경우 5시간 이상 침윤시켜야 할 것으로 사료된다.

곤충의 장내세균은 곤충 내에서 곤충의 소화, 발육, 번식, 생존 등 여러가지 역할 을 하는 것으로 밝혀져 있다. 특히, 여러 물질을 분해하는 물질을 분비하거나 항생물 질을 분비하기도 한다. 콩풍뎅이(Popillia mutans)에서 Pseudomonas aeruginosa외 에 4종의 균주가 확인되었으며 이 균주들을 Alternaria solani, Botrytis cinera, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani 6종의 병원균과 함께 PDA배지에서 대치배양하여 항균활성을 본 결과, Ps. aeruginosa균주가 A. solani, B. cinera, C. gloeosporioides, F. oxysporum, P. capsici 5종의 병원균 모두에 항균활성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, B. cinera 와 P. capsici에 대해 비교적 높은 항균활성을 갖는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

Hydroxy fatty acids have gained important attentions because of their special properties such as higher viscosity and reactivity compared to non-hydroxy fatty acids. The new bacterial isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PR3) had been well studied to produce mono-, di-, and tri-hydroxy fatty acids from different unsaturated fatty acids. Of those hydroxy fatty acids, 7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-octadecenoic acid (DOD) was produced with high yield from oleic acid by P. aeruginosa PR3. Mostly, the substrates used for the production of hydroxy fatty acid by microorganisms were free fatty acids or synthetic lipids. However, it is highly plausible to use vegetable oils containing oleic acid such as olive oil for DOD production by P. aeruginosa PR3. As a first step to address the utilization of olive oil as a substrate for DOD production, we tried to determine the effect of vessel type on DOD production from olive oil by P. aeruginosa PR3. Of two different flask types of normal flask and baffled-flask, baffled-flask was highly effective for DOD production with all the media tested. Maximum increase of productivity by baffled-flask represented 221% with the medium supplemented with whey powder instead of lactose. Results from this study demonstrated that vessel type and medium composition could be both significant factors for DOD production from olive oil by P. aeruginosa PR3.

The use of bacteria in the treatment of cancer has a long and interesting history. The use of live bacteria in this way however has a number of potential problems including toxicity. Purified low molecular weight bacterial proteins have therefore been tested as anticancer agents to avoid such complications. Oral cancer is a widely occurring disease around the world and these lesions are typically very resistant to anticancer agents. In our present study we investigated the effects of purified recombinant azurin from Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa against YD-9 (p53-positive) human oral squamous carcinoma cells. Azurin showed cytotoxic effects against these cells in a dose dependent manner. The cell death accompanied by this treatment was found to be characterized by chromatin condensation and apoptotic bodies. Azurin treatment was further found to increase the expression of p53 The stabilization of p53 and induction of apoptosis in YD-9 cells by azurin suggests that it has potentially very strong anticancer properties in oral squamous carcinoma.

냉장식품의 주요한 변패원인균으로서 저온세균인 Pseudomonas areuginosa를 최소 전처리한 후 신속히 검출할 수 있는 비표지 면역센서 시스템을 개발하였다. 수정결정전극상으로의 생물요소인 항체의 고정화는 이형이기능성 가교화제인 sulfosuccinimidyl 6-[3-(2-pyridyldithio)propronamide]hexanoate를 사용하여 항체를 티올화시킨 후 티올화된 항체를 화학흡착하여 향하였고, P.areuginosa flagella에 대한 단클론항체를 사용하였을 때 다클론항체를 사용한 경우보다 센서감응이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 항체가 고정화된 센서 chip과 flow형 quartz crystal microbalance 계측시스템을 이용하여 균 첨가 및 증균을 향한 10종의 모델시료에 대한 계측을 향하였다. 이 때, 시료자체에 의한 진동수변화가 52~89 Hz 범위인 반면 균 첨가 시에 나타난 진동수변화는 108~220 Hz이었고 증균시료에 의한 진동수변화는 162~222 Hz 범위로 나타났다. 시스템 안정화, 시료주입 및 정상상태의 센서반응 획득, 시스템 세척으로 이루어지는 한 주기의 센서계측에 소요된 시간으 모든 시료에 있어 30분 이내였다.

Ureteroscopic lithotripsy has higher stone free rate compared with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Ureteroscopyassociated complications are flank pain, transient hematuria, ureteral perforation, ureteral avulsion, and sepsis. Among these, sepsis is most serious complication with the incidence of about 1%. We report a case of sepsis and septic shock that developed immediately after ureteroscopic lithotripsy. It was diagnosed with elevated lactate and procalcitonin values. It was caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa which was detected in preoperative urine culture and postoperative blood culture.

Infection is common in neutropenic patients who have hematologic malignancies. Pyomyositis forms abscesses in the skeletal muscle withStaphylococcus aureusas the most common pathogen. Patients with pyomyositis who also have hematologic malignancies are rare especially when the primary diagnosis was the malignancy. In addition, to the authors’ knowledge there are no reports of Pseudomonas species as the myositis pathogen.

An antimicrobial substance-producing microorganism was isolated from soil samples. Based of the taxonomic characteristics of its morphological, cultural, physiological properties and 16s rRNA sequence alignment, this microorganism was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and we named Pseudomonas aeruginosa EL-KM. The optimal culture condition for production of antimicrobial substance was 1% mannitol, 0.4% yeast extract, 0.5% Nacl, 0.2% K₂SO₄, 100μM MgSO₄.7H2O, 10μM CaCl2.$2H_2O$, 1μM $FeSO_4$.7H2O, 1μM MnSO4.$4-5H_2O$, initial pH 7 and 200 rpm at 30℃. The purification of the antimicrbial substance was performed by silica gel column chromatographys, and fraction with TLC $R_f$ 0.77 value represented good antimicrobial activity. The crude antimicrbial substance was stable within a pH range of 3-10 and temperature range of 4°C-121°C autoclaving. This crude antibacterial substance acted as bacteriolytic agent against Vibrio cholerae non-Ol ATCC 25872, and also exhibited excellent properties, when the substance was demonstrated against many other gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria, yeast and fungi.
