Abstract

Antimicrobial effect of Lithospermum erythrorhizon extracts against food-borne pathogens was investigated. L. erythrorhizon was extracted with methanol at room temperature, and the extraction was sequentially fractionated using petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Antimicrobial activity of L. erythrorhizon extracts was determined using paper disc method against food-borne pathogens and food spoilage bacteria. Ethyl acetate extracts of L. erythrorhizon showed the highest activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae. Synergistic effect was found in combined extracts of L. erythrorhizon and Sophora subprostrata as compared with each extract alone. Growth inhibition curve was determined using ethyl acetate extracts of L. erythrorhizon, against S. aureus and S. dysenteriae. Ethyl acetate extract of L. erythrorhizon, showed strong antimicrobial activity against S. aureus at 4,000 ppm, retarding growth of S. aureus more than 48 hr and S. dysenteriae up to 12 hr.

본 연구에서는 식중독 유발세균에 대한 항균활성이 우수한 천연 항균성 물질을 검색하기 위해 예로부터 민간과 한방에서 널리 이용되어 온 지치를 각종 유기용매로 추출하여 식중독 유발세균에 대한 항균활성을 조사해 보았다. 지치를 methanol로 추출한 후, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethly acetate를 이용하여 실온에서 각각 용매별로 계통 분획하고, 열수추출물을 얻은 후, 9종의 식중독 유발세균(S. aureus, B. cereus, Sal. enteritidis, S. flexneri, E. coli, Sal. typhimurium, S. dysenteriae, P. aeruginosa, S. sonnei)에 대하여 항균효과를 조사하였다. 지치 추출물의 농도별 항균 활성 검색에서는 지치의 ethyl acetate 추출물이 가장 큰 항균 효과를 보였으며 S. aureus와 S. dysenteriae가 가장 민감하게 반응하는 균주였다. 지치의 ethyl acetate 추출물과 산두근의 ethyl acetate 추출물을 혼합하여 항균력을 측정해 본 결과 두 추출물을 섞어 첨가했을 경우가 단독으로 사용했을 시 보다 상승효과를 나타내었다. 또한 지치의 ethyl acetate 추출물이 식중독 유발세균의 성장에 미치는 효과를 검정하기 위해 S. aureus 및 S. dysenteriae의 배양액에 지치의 ethyl acetate 추출물을 각각 4,000ppm 농도로 첨가했을 시, S. aureus의 생육이 48시간 이상까지 억제됨을 관찰할 수 있었고, S. dysenteriae의 생육도 12시간까지 지연시킬 수 있었다.
