Characteristics of EI Tor Vibrios from 1980 Epidemic in Korea = 1980年 韓國에서 流行한 콜레라菌의 性狀

국문 초록 (Abstract)

1980年 9月부터 全南 新安郡에서 初發한 콜레라는 主로 全南地域에서 蔓延했으나 이는 一部 他地域에서도 少數의 例가 發生한바 있었다.
따라서 著者들은 全南一帶와 서울, 부산에서 分離된 菌株를 對象으로 그 生物學的 性狀을 實驗했다.
韓國 3個 地域에서 分離한 콜레라菌은 非溶血性 Vibrio cholerae biotype El Tor vibrio로 同定되었다. 그리고 菌型은 inaba型이고, mukerjee phage IV群에 對하여 感受性이 없었다. 한편 El Tor vibrio phage型은 El Tol phage I 및 II群에 感受性을 보여서 3型에 屬했다. 또한 3個 地域에서 分離한 菌을 電子顯微鏡으로 觀察한 바 典型的인 콜레라菌이었다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The author isolated 14 strains of cholera vibrios from patients and carriers in the first epidemic area in Chul La Nam Do and 1 strain from Seoul during the period of September to October in 1980. The biological and biochemical tests were studied and the following results were obtained.
The serotype of strains were determined as a Inaba which was resistant to Mukerjee phase group IV and also El Tor phage type belonged to the type 3. All the strains were with such Heiberg group I sucrose and mannose fermented, but arabinose was not at all.
The photographs of the strains were shown as a typical shape of Vibrio cholerae tiotype El Tor. The epidemic strains of 198 were classified as a Vibrio cholerae biotype El Tor, but it was no hemolytsis on 3% sheep erythrocyte with peptone water.
Autor has been concluded that thus the isolated strains through the tests in 1980 are cerain to be identified with Vibrio cholerae biotype El Tor vibrio.
