  We study s-wave meson-baryon scattering using the chiral unitary model. We
consider $1/2^{-}$ baryon resonances as quasibound states of the low lying
mesons ($\pi,K,\eta$) and baryons ($N,\Lambda,\Sigma,\Xi$). In previous works,
the subtraction constants which appear in loop integrals were found to largely
depend on the channels, and it was necessary to fit these constants to
reproduce the data. In order to extend this model to all channels with fewer
parameters, we introduce flavor SU(3) breaking interactions in the framework of
chiral perturbation theory. It is found, however, that the observed SU(3)
breaking in meson-baryon scattering cannot be explained by the present SU(3)
breaking interactions. The role and importance of the subtraction constants in
the present framework are discussed.
