Enteropathogenic Yersina enterocolitica is an important cause of human and animal disease. Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics currently used to identify Yersinia enterocolitica are not necessarily sufficient to differentiate pathogenic from non-pathogenic strains or to analyze the epidemiology of yersiniae at a molecular level. To improve the characterization of Yersinia enterocolitica, A total of 65 isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica were examined with bioserotyping, antibiotic susceptibilities, PFGE, PCR-ribotyping. Genomic DNA pattern generated by PFGE are highly specific for different strains of an organism and have significant value in epidemiologic investigations. The PFGE analysis of Not I-digested chromosomal DNA of Y. enterocolitica were performed with a CHEF Mapper(Bio-Rad, USA). Not I generated 19 restriction endonuclease digestion profiles(REDP). PCR-ribotyping, performed with primers complementry to conserved regions of 16S and 23S rRNA gene, generated 13 ribotypes. PCR-ribotyping can be considered a good technich for subtyping strains of Y.enterocolitica.

A multiplex PCR assay targeting the yst and 16S rRNA genes of Yersinia enterocolitica was developed to specifically identify pathogenic Y. enterocolitica from pure culture. Simultaneous amplification of 145 and 416 bp fragments of the yst and 16S rRNA genes of Y. enterocolitica was obtained using the primer pairs in a single reaction. Validation of the assay was performed with the reference Yersinia strains and other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The defined primer pairs amplified the targeted sequence from only pathogenic Y. enterocolitica strains, whereas none of the other bacterial species yielded any amplified fragments. Within an assay time of 4 h, this assay offers a very specific, reliable, and inexpensive alternative to the conventional phenotypic assays used in clinical laboratories to identify pathogenic Y. enterocolitica.

The studies were conducted to explore the dffects of growth or survival against various factors and plasmid profiles of 49 Y. enterocolitica isolated from springs water. In the presence of calcium hypochlorite, y. enterocolitica was entirely extinguished by exposure for 33 hours at 0.8 ppm concentration, and was grown up to 7% NaCl, but not at 95 NaCI. Y. enterocolitica was presented optimal growth at pH 7.0 anad 9.0, and not allowth the growth at pH3.0, 5.0 and 11.0. The optimal temperature for growth of Y. enterocolitica was 25$\circ$C and 35$\circ$C, and allowed the growth at refrigerant temperature, 5$\circ$C. Y. enterocolitica was remarkably decreased by exposure for 30 seconds under UV light, and entirely extinguished by exposure for 90 seconds. Therefore, UV light was effective for sterilization of Y. enterocolitica. Fourty-nine strains of Y. enterocolitica were harbor plasmid DNA of approximately 46 Kb molecular weight.

On the purpose pf epidemiological study related to yersiniosis, a total of 720 aprings water collected from 60 points in the Pusan area were examined for the presence of Y. enterocolitica and also the isolation rates, biotype, serotype, biochemical properties and antibiotic susceptibility. Fifty-eight(8.0%) strains of Yersinia species were isolated from 720springs water. Isolation rate for each species was 49 (6.8%)strains of Y. enterocolitica, 3 (0.4%) strains of Y. pseudotuberculosis and 6 (0.8%) strains of y. frederiksenii. Seasonal distribution of isolated Yersinia sp. were shown considerably from November to April, and Y. enterocolitica was especoally isolated in order of January (20.4%), December (16.3%), March(14.3%) and April(8.2%). Isolated T. enterocolitica was divided into 4 kinds of biotype such as 1, 2, 3, and 3B. Distribution of each biotype was shown in order of biotype 1 (51.0%), biotype 2 (30.6%), biotype 3B (16.3%) and biotype 3 (2.1%). The serotypes pf 49 Y. enterocoliticawere typed 7 kinds of werotypes (0 ; 3, 0 : 5, 0 : 9, 0 : 13, 0 : 18 and 0 : 21), and serotype 0 : 8(34.7%). 0 : 9(30.6%) and 0 : 3(10.2%) were encountered most frequently.

Brucella abortus cell wall antigen was extracted from Brucella abortus 1119-3 by ultrasonication and followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) treatment. In order to confirm whether this preparation is serologically cross reactive with Yersinia enterocolitica 0:9, Western blot analysis with mouse anit-Brucella abortus1119-3 and with mouse anti-Yersinia enterocolitica 0:9 was performed. ELISA results from using those Brucella antigen and Yersinia antigen were assessed whether they had correlation. According to the results of western blot analysis and ELISA, there was no evidence of cross reactivity between the Brucella abortus 1119-3 antigen preparation and Yersinia enterocolitica 0:9. Therefore the SDS treated antigen prepared in this study could be suitably used as specific ELISA antigen without confusion in the interpretation of serological tests for brucellosis in cattle.

고염분으로 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Yersinia enterocolitica ATCC 9610 세포내에 축적되는 osmolyte를 $^{13}C$ NMR을 통해 조사하였다. 자연계에 흔히 존재하는 가장 강력한 osmolyte로 알려진 glycine betaine의 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610 세포내 농도 (801.9 nmol/mg protein)는 삼투압 스트레스를 받지 않은 세포 (19.2 nmol/mg protein) 보다 41.8배 많이 검출되어 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 가장 주요한 osmolyte로 작용하였다. Proline도 284.8 nmol/mg protein의 농도로 검출되어 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 osmolyte로 작용하였다. Glycine betaine을 비롯한 각종 osmolyte가 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Y. enterocolitica 세포성장에 미치는 역할을 검증하기 위해 Y. enterocolitica의 성장속도에 미치는 이들의 영향을 조사하였다. 2.5%의 NaCl이 첨가된 MMA 배지에 glycine betaine과 proline을 각각 첨가했을때, 1mM glycine betaine의 경우 osmolyte를 첨가하지 않은 대조구에 비해 성장속도가 3.6배 증가하였으며 5mM proline의 경우는 1.3배 증가하였다. Dimethylglycine도 2.5%의 NaCl을 첨가한 MMA 배지에 5mM의 농도로 첨가하였을때 대조구에 비해 성장속도가 3.1배 증가하였는데, monomethylglycine은 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Y. enterocolitica의 성장에 어떤 영향도 미치지 못하였다. Carnitine은 2.5%의 NaCl이 첨가된 MMA 배지에 5mM의 농도로 첨가되었을때 대조구에 비해 2.4배 성장속도가 증가하였으며 choline은 성장에 어떤 영향도 미치지 못하였다. 이상의 결과로 glycine betaine은 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 가장 주요한 osmolyte로 작용하며, proline, dimethyglyine 그리고 carnitine도 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 osmolyte로 작용하여 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 성장속도를 증가시켰다.

Yersinia enterocolitica is an inhabitant in the lower intestinal tract of many domestic and wild animals as well as in the nature. Of the several forms of diseases caused by Y. enterocolitica, an acute enteritis, especially in young children, is the most common form. Infection of the bacteria usually occurs through fecal-oral route by contaminated foods or water, especially mountainspring water. Of the domestic animals, swine has been known as one of the most important carrier in the human infection. Based on the knowledge, prevalence of antibody against Y enterocolitica was investigated with swine sera collected from Korea for the survey of Y enterocolitica infection in swine. As the first step of this survey, we analyzed outer membrane protein (OMP) profiles of the representative strains of Y enterocolitica isolated from the feces of piglets and mountainspring water in Korea. Thirty-eight kDa OMP was identified as the common OMP regardless of origin, serotype, or biotype of Y enterocolitica isolates. Presence of antibody specific for 38 kDa OMP of Y enterocolitica in 1,076 swine sera collected from November 1999 to October 2000 was analysed with ELISA. Antibody titer in sows was significantly higher than that in piglets, growing pigs and finishing pigs (p<0.05). Also, there was seasonal difference in the prevalence of antibody against Y enterocolitica. These results would provide the basic knowledge for controlling the Y enterocolitica infection in human as well as swine.

본 연구는 돈육의 생산공정에서 발생 가능성이 높은 병원성 미생물인 L. monocytogenes와 Y. enterocolitica의 돈육 생산공정에서의 위해를 평가하기 위하여 확률적 접근방법을 통하여 오염수준을 예측하여 보았다. 몬테카를로 simulation을 이용하여 simulation을 한 결과 이분도체, 가공한 부분육, 저장 후 출고 전의 부분육에서의 L. monocytogenes의 오염 평균값은 각각 -4.59, -4.46, -4.45 $log_{10}CFU/cm^2$이었으며 Y. enterocolitica의 경우는 오염 평균값이 각각 -3.44, -4.00, -3.97 $log_{10}CFU/cm^2$의 값을 나타내었다. Sensitivity analysis 결과 생산된 돈육의 L. monocytogenes 및 Y. enterocolitica 오염 정도에 영향이 가장 큰 요인은 장비에서의 이들 병원성 미생물의 prevalence였다. 최종 세척의 경우는 세척의 효과가 클수록 돈육의 오염수준이 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 육가공장에서의 부분육 저장 온도는 $5^{\circ}C$ 이하로만 유지한다면 L. monocytogenes 및 Y. enterocolitica의 오염을 억제하기에 충분한 것으로 분석되었다.

Yersinia enterocolitica is a zoonotic agent, and to cause food poisoning. This study was carried out to get some basic information for the control of Yersinia infection. A total of 1,680 samples were collected from beef and pork carcasses from January 2006 to December 2007 in Seoul. The isolation rate was higher in pork carcass than in beef carcass. Five (0.59%) Yersinia enterocolitica were isolated from the 840 of beef carcasses, and eighteen(2.14%) were isolated from the 840 of pork carcasses. Among 23 strains, 22 were classified into biotype 1A, and one was biotype 6. In serotyping of Y enterocolitica isolates, 21 strains were untypable (UT), and 2 were O5 and O8 respectively. In PCR, Ail gene was not detected in all of 23 strains that determined non-pathogenic. In antimicrobial susceptibility test, twelve strains (52.2%) of 23 isolates showed the multi -resistant patterns with over 3 drugs. PFGE was performed after the genomic DNA of twenty three isolates, which was digested with Xba I. the 23 isolates showed 12 ($A{\sim}L$) PFGE type.
