Abstract
A method utilizing liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated according to the Commission Implementing Regulation (CIR) EU 2021/808 for quantifying four tetracyclines (TCs) in potatoes and soil. The method demonstrated recovery values ranging from 70 to 121% and precision (repeatability and within-laboratory reproducibility), with coefficient of variation (CV) values below 18% for all TCs in both matrices. The limits of quantification (LOQs) for the TCs ranged from 0.90 to 1.87 μg/kg in potatoes and from 0.68 to 1.25 μg/kg in soil. The decision limit (CCα) and detection capability (CCβ) ranged from 10.4 to 12.3 μg/kg and 11.9 to 14.3 μg/kg, respectively. Analysis of 538 potato and soil samples from Egyptian farms revealed a 13.2% occurrence of TC residues, with a higher frequency in soil (19.33%) than in potatoes (7.06%). Target hazard quotient (THQ) values indicated that TC residues in potatoes do not pose a health risk to Egyptian consumers.

Kuppusamy S, Venkateswarlu K, Megharaj M. Tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics contamination in agricultural soils fertilized long-term with chicken litter: Trends and ravages. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:174286. [PMID: 38942301 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
We investigated the potential accumulation of tetracyclines (TCs) such as chlortetracycline (CTC), oxytetracycline (OTC) and doxycycline (DC), and fluoroquinolones (FQs) like enrofloxacin (ENR) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) in chicken litter and agricultural soils fertilized over short-term to long-term (<1-30 yrs) with chicken litter in a poultry hub for the first time from Tamil Nadu, India. CTC, OTC, DC, CIP, and ENR were detected in 46-92 % of the selected chicken litter samples, with mean levels ranging from 2.90 to 23.30 μg kg-1. Higher concentrations of TCs and FQs were observed in freshly collected chicken litter from poultry sheds than in those stockpiled in cultivated lands. CTC was the prevalent antibiotic in chicken litter. The overall occurrence, as well as the ecological risks of TCs and FQs, changed over a 30-yr period. The accumulation of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) (in μg kg-1) in short-term (>1 yr) to medium-term (1-3 yrs) chicken litter-fertilized soils reached a maximum of 11.60 for CTC, 6.50 for OTC, 0.80 for DC, 3.70 for CIP, and 3.60 for ENR, but decreased in long-term (10-30 yrs) fertilized soils. Ecological risk assessment revealed a Risk Quotient (RQ) of ≤0.10 for CTC, OTC, and DC in all soils, while an average risk (RQ >0.10-<1.0) was evident with CIP and ENR in short-term and medium-term fertilized soils. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), including tetA, tetB, qnrA, qnrB and qnrS were detected in most of the chicken litter samples and litter-fertilized soils. Thus, it is critical to develop and adopt effective mitigation strategies before applying chicken litter in farmlands to decrease VAs and ARGs, reducing their associated risks to public health and ecosystems in India considering 'One Health' approach. Future investigations on the occurrence of other VAs and ARGs in soils fertilized with poultry litter at regional scale are required for effective risk mitigation of the widely used VAs.

Abstract
An electrochemical aptasensor was developed by utilizing a DNA walker driven by catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) with kanamycin as the model analyte. Kanamycin bound to the aptamer, causes the release of DNA walker, triggers the CHA reaction, leads to the cyclic movement of the walker's long arm, and results in cascade amplification of the signal. The guanine-rich sequences of the double-stranded products produced by CHA were folded to form G-quadruplex structures, with electrochemical active molecules Hemin embedded, forms G-quadruplex/Hemin complexes in situ on the electrode surface, thereby achieving sensitive, efficient, and label-free detection of kanamycin with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.27 pM (S/N = 3). Meaningfully, the aptasensor demonstrated high sensitivity and reliability in the detection of kanamycin in milk and livestock wastewater samples, suggesting that it has great potential for application in detecting antibiotics in food products and water samples from the environment.

Abstract
Antibiotics with significant environmental toxicity, e.g., tetracyclines (TCs), are often used in large quantities worldwide, with 50-80% of the applied dose ending up in the environment. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exposure to tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) and minocycline hydrochloride (MIN) on L. minor. Our research evaluated the phytotoxicity of the TCs by analyzing plant growth and biomass and evaluating assimilation pigment levels and fluorescence. The research was extended with the ability potential of duckweed as a tool for removing TCs from water/wastewater. The results demonstrated that both TCs influenced Ir, Iy, biomass, and photosynthetic efficiency. The uptake of TC and MIN by duckweed was proportional to the concentration in the growth medium. The TC was absorbed more readily, reaching up to 8.09 mg × g-1 of dry weight (DW) at the highest concentration (19.2 mg × L-1), while MIN reached 6.01 mg × g-1 of DW. As indicated, the consequences of the influence of TC on plants were slightly smaller, in comparison to MIN, while the plants could biosorb this drug, even at the lowest tested concentration. This study has shown that using plants for drug biosorption can be an effective standalone or complementary method for water and wastewater treatment.

Fate of antibiotics and hormones during hydrothermal carbonization of poultry litter: degradation kinetics and toxicity assessment of filtrates and hydrochars.

Abstract
This study investigated degradation kinetics of five selected organic micropollutants (OMPs) present in poultry litter (namely: sulfadiazine, tetracycline, and doxycycline hyclate (antibiotics); estrone and 17-β-estradiol (hormones)) during hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) treatment as the temperature stepwise increased to 250 °C. All five pure OMPs were completely degraded before 250 °C was reached during the HTC process. Nevertheless, presence of poultry litter slowed down the degradation of OMPs. Through elemental mass balance calculation, it is noted that after 15 min (temperature less than 137 °C), 69-82% of organic carbon and 50-66% of organic nitrogen initially consisting part of the target antibiotics were fully mineralized. Both HTC filtrates and hydrochars obtained from poultry litter inhibited Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis growth. A combination of high salinity, high nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, and other ions in the filtrate as well as the adsorption of OMPs on hydrochars were probably the reason for the high toxicity.

Abstract
The presence of human and veterinary pharmaceuticals (PhACs) in the environment poses potential risks. To comprehensively assess these risks, robust multiresidual analytical methods are essential for determining a broad spectrum of PhAC classes in various environmental compartments (soil, plants, and soil organisms). This study optimized extraction methods for analyzing over 40 PhACs from various matrices, including soil, lettuce, and earthworms. A four-step ultrasonic extraction method with varying extraction conditions and subsequent solid phase extraction was developed for soil samples. QuEChERS methods were optimized for extracting PhACs from lettuce and earthworm samples, addressing a literature gap in these less-studied matrices. The quantification of PhACs in soil, lettuce, and earthworm extracts was performed using a single LC-MS/MS method. Following thorough method validation, earthworms and lettuce were exposed to a mixture of 27 pharmaceuticals in a soil environment. The method validation results demonstrated the robustness of these methods for a broad spectrum of PhACs. Specifically, 29 out of 42 PhACs were extracted with an average efficiency > 50% and RSD < 30% from the soil; 40 out of 42 PhACs exhibited average efficiency > 50% and %RSD < 30% from the earthworms, while 39 out of 42 PhACs showed average efficiency > 50% and RSD < 30% from the lettuce. Exposure experiments confirmed the viability of these methods for quantifying a diverse range of PhACs in different environmental compartments. This study presents three thoroughly validated methods for determining more than 40 PhACs in diverse matrices, enabling a comprehensive assessment of PhAC dissemination in the environment.

Abstract
Overuse of sulfonamides in aquaculture and agriculture leads to residual drugs that cause serious pollution of the environment. However, the residues of sulfonamides in the environment are not unique, and the existing microbial degradation technology has a relatively low degradation rate of sulfonamides. Therefore, in this study, a Pseudomonas stutzeri strain (DLY-21) with the ability to degrade four common SAs was screened and isolated from aerobic compost. Under optimal conditions, the DLY-21 strain degraded four sulfonamides simultaneously within 48 h, and the degradation rates were all over 90%, with the average degradation rates of SAs being sulfoxide (SDM) ≈ sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) > sulfa quinoxaline (SQ) > sulfadiazine (SQ). In addition, the main compounds of the strain DLY-21-degrading SAs were identified by LC-MS analysis. On this basis, four detailed reaction pathways for SA degradation were deduced. This is the first report of the use of a P. stutzeri strain to degrade four sulfonamide antibiotics (SQ, SDM, SCP, and SM1), which can improve the removal efficiency of sulfonamide antibiotic pollutants and thus ameliorate environmental pollution. The results showed that DLY-21 had a good degradation effect on four SAs (SQ, SDM, SCP, and SM1).

Abstract
A combination of membrane processes was applied to treat the digestate produced after the anaerobic treatment of pig manure in a biogas plant, aiming towards the recovery of nutrients and effective water treatment for potential reuse. Initially, coarse filtration (sieving and microfiltration) was used to remove particles larger than 1 µm, followed by ultrafiltration, to reduce the suspended solids concentrations below 1 g/L. Subsequently, selective electrodialysis is employed to recover the main nutrient ions, primarily ammonium and potassium. The ion-depleted digestate is then fed to a reverse osmosis unit, where clean water was recovered, yielding a by-product (concentrate) stream enriched in phosphates and organics content. The presence of antibiotics and the concentrations of heavy metals were monitored during all treatment stages to assess their behavior/removal in the various membrane processes. The results indicate that almost 51% of the digestate could be recovered as water free from ions and antibiotics, suitable for reuse in the biogas plant for process needs and irrigation purposes. The selective electrodialysis process can recover 51% of initial NH4+ content (corresponding to 96% of the electrodialysis feed), while the remainder largely ended up in the ultrafiltration concentrate. A similar behavior was observed for the case of K+, while approximately 68% of the phosphates content was retained by the coarse filtration process, with another 24% remaining in the ultrafiltration concentrate and the remaining 8% in the reverse osmosis concentrate. Most of the antibiotics and heavy metals were retained by the coarse and ultrafiltration steps, with smaller amounts detected in the reverse osmosis concentrate.

Abstract
Antibiotics have garnered growing attention as pharmaceuticals ubiquitously present in human society. Within the soil environment, antibiotics exhibit a propensity for high environmental persistence, thereby posing a potential threat to the ecosystem. However, research on antibiotics in agricultural-pastoral ecotone soils is scarce. This study investigates the occurrence, distribution and risk of 11 common antibiotics in agricultural soils of the agro-pastoral transition zone in Horqin Left Middle Banner, eastern Inner Mongolia. The total concentration varies from not detectable to 609.62 μg/kg. Tetracyclines are the dominant antibiotic, with a higher detection frequency than Macrolides and Sulfonamides. The detection rates of the three types of antibiotics differ significantly. The study also finds that soil properties (organic matter content, pH, bulk density, clay, cation exchange capacity have no significant correlation with antibiotics in soil. Moreover, spatial regression analysis reveals that population density is the primary factor influencing the spatial distribution of antibiotics in soil. Ecological risk assessment shows that clarithromycin and erythromycin are the two most harmful factors in the ecological risk of agricultural soil.

[PMID: 38401860 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Tetracyclines are among the most commonly used antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections and the improvement of agricultural growth and feed efficiency. All compounds in the group of tetracyclines (tetracycline, chlorotetracycline, doxycycline, and oxytetracycline) are excreted in an unchanged form in urine at a rate of more than 70%. They enter the aquatic environment in altered and unaltered forms which affect aquatic micro- and macroorganisms. This study reviews the occurrence, fate, and removal techniques of tetracycline contamination in Europe. The average level of tetracycline contamination in water ranged from 0 to 20 ng/L. However, data regarding environmental contamination by tetracyclines are still insufficient. Despite the constant presence and impact of tetracyclines in the environment, there are no legal restrictions regarding the discharge of tetracyclines into the aquatic environment. To address these challenges, various removal techniques, including advanced oxidation, adsorption, and UV treatment, are being critically evaluated and compared. The summarized data contributes to a better understanding of the current state of Europe's waters and provides insight into potential strategies for future environmental management and policy development. Further research on the pollution and effects of tetracyclines in aquatic environments is therefore required.

Abstract
The practice of incorporating animal manure into soil is supported within the European Circular economy as a possible substitute for mineral fertilizers and will become crucial for the sustainability of agriculture. However, this practice may indirectly contribute to the dissemination of antibiotics, resistance bacteria, and resistance genes. In this study, medicated drinking water and poultry litter samples were obtained from a broiler-chick farm. The obtained poultry litter was incorporated into the soil at the experimental field site. The objectives of this research project were first to develop analytical methods able to quantify fluoroquinolones (FQs) in medicated drinking water, poultry litter, and soil samples by LC-MS; second to study the fate of these FQs in the soil environment after incorporation of poultry litter from flock medicated by enrofloxacin (ENR); and third to screen the occurrence of selected fluoroquinolone resistance encoding genes in poultry litter and soil samples (PCR analysis). FQs were quantified in the broiler farm's medicated drinking water (41.0 ± 0.3 mg∙L-1 of ENR) and poultry litter (up to 70 mg∙kg-1 of FQs). The persistence of FQs in the soil environment over 112 days was monitored and evaluated (ENR concentrations ranged from 36 μg∙kg-1 to 9 μg∙kg-1 after 100 days). The presence of resistance genes was confirmed in both poultry litter and soil samples, in agreement with the risk assessment for the selection of AMR in soil based on ENR concentrations. This work provides a new, comprehensive perspective on the entry and long-term fate of antimicrobials in the terrestrial environment and their consequences after the incorporation of poultry litter into agricultural fields.

Abstract
The widespread application of nanotechnology inevitably leads to an increased release of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) into the environment. Due to their specific physicochemical properties, ENPs may interact with other contaminants and exert combined effects on the microbial community and metabolism of anaerobic digestion (AD), an important process for organic waste reduction, stabilization, and bioenergy recovery. However, the complicated interactions between ENPs and other contaminants as well as their combined effects on AD are often overlooked. This review therefore focuses on the co-occurrence of ENPs and cocontaminants in the AD process. The key interactions between ENPs and cocontaminants and their combined influences on AD are summarized from the available literature, including the critical mechanisms and influencing factors. Some sulfides, coagulants, and chelating agents have a dramatic "detoxification" effect on the inhibition effect of ENPs on AD. However, some antibiotics and surfactants increase the inhibition of ENPs on AD. The reasons for these differences may be related to the interactive effects between ENPs and cocontaminants, changes of key enzyme activities, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and microbial communities. New scientific opportunities for a better understanding of the coexistence in real world situations are converging on the scale of nanoparticles.

Abstract
The increasing discharge of antibiotic residues into the natural environment, stemming from both human activities and animal farming, has detrimental effects on natural ecosystems and serves as a significant driving force for the spread of antibiotic resistance. Biodegradation is an important method for the elimination of antibiotics from contaminated substrates, but the identifying in situ microbial populations involved in antibiotic degradation is challenging. Here, DNA stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP) was employed to identify active sulfadiazine (SDZ) degrading microbes in the gut of black soldier fly larvae (BSFLs). At an initial SDZ concentration of 100 mg kg-1, the highest degradation efficiency reached 73.99% after 6 days at 28 °C. DNA-SIP revealed the incorporation of 13C6 from labeled SDZ in 9 genera, namely, Clostridum sensu stricto 1, Nesterenkonia, Bacillus, Halomonas, Dysgonomonas, Caldalkalibacillus, Enterococcus, g_unclassified_f_Xanthomonadaceae and g_unclassified_f_Micrococcaceae. Co-occurrence network analysis revealed that a significant positive correlation existed among SDZ degrading microbes in the gut microbiota, e.g., between Clostridium sensu stricto 1 and Nesterenkonia. Significant increases in carbohydrate metabolism, membrane transport and translation were crucial in the biodegradation of SDZ in the BSFL gut. These results elucidate the structure of SDZ-degrading microbial communities in the BSFL gut and in situ degradation mechanisms.

A Multi-Residue Analytical Method for Assessing the Effects of Stacking Treatment on Antimicrobial and Coccidiostat Degradation in Broiler Litter. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:203. [PMID: 38399418 PMCID: PMC10892054 DOI: 10.3390/ph17020203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Antimicrobial drugs and coccidiostat compounds are commonly used in poultry farming. These compounds are subsequently excreted and released into the environment via broiler litter (BL) and can re-enter the food chain as fertilizer or animal feed. Such residue in animal feed can encourage the appearance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria as well as toxicity. Most analytical methods used to identify and quantitate these drug residues are traditional, and are specific to some antimicrobials and present limitations in assessing complex matrixes like BL. The aim of this study was to develop a multi-residue analytic method for assessing 30 antimicrobial drugs and coccidiostats associated with BL. We investigated the presence and the effects of biotic stack treatment on the degradation of drug residue in BL. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid phase extraction (SPE) were replaced by Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) clean-up steps and detected by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Results show that a wide spectrum of residues were detected from 0.4 to 8.9 mg kg-1. Following lab-scale stacking treatment, tilmicosin and eight coccidiostats persisted in BL (26-100%). This research supports the need for better understanding, regulation, and management of the use of BL that might carry a high risk of residue drugs.

Abstract
For decades, sulfonamide antibiotics have been used across industries such as agriculture and animal husbandry. However, the use and inadvertent misuse of these antibiotics have resulted in the advent of sulfonamide-drug-resistant strains due to antibiotic pollution. Enzymatic bioremediation of antibiotics remains a potential emerging solution to combat antibiotic pollution. Here, we propose an enzymatic model for the degradation of sulfonamides by Microbacterium sp. We have employed a multi-pronged computational strategy involving - protein structure modelling, ligand docking and molecular dynamics simulations to decipher a plausible binding order for the enzymatic degradation of sulfonamides by the bacterial sulfonamide monooxygenase, SulX. Our results enable us to predict that this degradation is achieved through the sequential binding of the antibiotic sulfonamide followed by the reduced flavin cofactor FMNH2, thereby laying the computational foundation for further advancements in enzyme-mediated degradation of the antibiotic. We also provide a list of experiments which may be performed to verify and follow-up on our in-silico studies.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Knowledge on runoff transport of manure-sourced antibiotics from farmland soil to aquatic environment is limited due to complexity of hydrological regime and pathways. This study monitored natural rainfalls in sloping orchard plots with free-range chickens, with an attempt to investigate the migration characteristics of typical antibiotics via surface runoff as well as the impact of manure presence. Results showed that rainstorms continuously carried away antibiotics in surface runoff and all target antibiotics including those with high affinities to soil were detected at the beginning of runoff production. Concentration of antibiotics was found to respond strongly to the instantaneous rainfall intensity, showing consistent fluctuations during rainfalls. Concentrations of sulfonamides and florfenicol were two orders of magnitude higher than that of tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones. Compared to the control without raising chickens, antibiotics migration was considerably increased with the increased runoff production due to soil surface changes caused by chicken activities. Additionally, dynamics of antibiotic concentration significantly correlated with variations of fluorescent DOM components. Chicken manure-derived DOM mainly contained tryptophan moiety, and laboratory fluorescence quenching test with 2D-COS analysis indicated that all antibiotics interacted more strongly and preferentially with tryptophan than humic-like species. Antibiotics bonded to manure DOM with an affinity corresponding to the significance level of their correlations. In this light, potential use of fluorescence indices based on the established correlations may provide a convenient tool for tracing runoff migration of antibiotics during rainfalls.

Abstract
Utilizing livestock manure as organic fertilizer in sustainable agriculture is crucial and should be developed through an appropriate manufacturing process. Solid-liquid separation contributes to reducing odor, managing nutrients in livestock excretions, and lowering the cost of transporting manure to arable soil. To investigate the impact of fermentation after solid-liquid separation, we examined the specific correlation between chemical properties and bacterial communities in solid-liquid manures before and after the fermentation process. In terms of chemical properties before fermentation, the levels of electrical conductivity, nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N), potassium, sodium, and chloride were higher in the liquid sample than in the solid sample. However, the chemical components of the liquid sample decreased during fermentation, which could be attributed to the low organic matter content. Many chemical components increased in the solid samples during fermentation. Fifty-six bacterial species were significantly correlated with NH4+-N and phosphorus. Following fermentation, their abundance increased in the solid samples and decreased in the liquid samples, indicating the potential for NH4+-N release or phosphorus mineralization from organic matter. These results provide information regarding changes in nutrient and bacterial formation when applying the fermentation process after solid-liquid separation.

Abstract
In recent years, pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) have attained global prevalence. The behavior of PhACs in agricultural soils is complex and depends on several factors, such as the nature of the compounds and their physicochemical characteristics, which affect their fate and potential threats to human health, ecosystems, and the environment. The detection of residual pharmaceutical content is possible in both agricultural soils and environmental matrices. PhACs are commonly found in agricultural soil, with concentrations varying significantly, ranging from as low as 0.048 ng g-1 to as high as 1420.76 mg kg-1. The distribution and persistence of PhACs in agriculture can lead to the leaching of these toxic pollutants into surface water, groundwater, and vegetables/plants, resulting in human health risks and environmental pollution. Biological degradation or bioremediation plays a critical role in environmental protection and efficiently eliminates contamination by hydrolytic and/or photochemical reactions. Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been investigated as the most recent approach for the treatment of emerging persistent micropollutants, including PhACs, from wastewater sources. MBR- based technologies have proven to be effective in eliminating pharmaceutical compounds, achieving removal rates of up to 100%. This remarkable outcome is primarily facilitated by the processes of biodegradation and metabolization. In addition, phytoremediation (i.e., constructed wetlands), microalgae-based technologies, and composting can be highly efficient in remediating PhACs in the environment. The exploration of key mechanisms involved in pharmaceutical degradation has revealed a range of approaches, such as phytoextraction, phytostabilization, phytoaccumulation, enhanced rhizosphere biodegradation, and phytovolatilization. The well-known advanced/tertiary removal of sustainable sorption by biochar, activated carbon, chitosan, etc. has high potential and yields excellent quality effluents. Adsorbents developed from agricultural by-products have been recognized to eliminate pharmaceutical compounds and are cost-effective and eco-friendly. However, to reduce the potentially harmful impacts of PhACs, it is necessary to focus on advanced technologies combined with tertiary processes that have low cost, high efficiency, and are energy-saving to remove these emerging pollutants for sustainable development.

Abstract
Sulfonamides circulating in the environment lead to disturbances in food chains and local ecosystems, but most importantly contribute to development of resistance genes, which generate problems with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections treatment. In urban areas, sources of sulfonamide distribution in soils have received comparatively less attention in contrast to rural regions, where animal-derived manure, used as a natural fertilizer, is considered the main source. The aim of this study was to determine eight sulfonamides (sulfadiazine, sulfamerazine, sulfamethazine, sulfamethizole, sulfamethoxazole, sulfapyridine, sulfathiazole, and sulfisoxazole) in environmental soil samples collected from urbanized regions in Silesian Voivodeship with increased animal activity. These soils were grouped according to the organic carbon content. It was necessary to develop versatile and efficient extraction and determination method to analyze selected sulfonamides in various soil types. The developed LC-MS/MS method for sulfonamides analyzing was validated. The obtained recoveries exceeded 45% for soil with medium organic carbon content and 88% for sample with a very low organic carbon content (arenaceous quartz). The obtained results show the high impact of organic matter on analytes adsorption in soil, which influences recovery. All eight sulfa drugs were determined in environmental samples in the concentration range 1.5-10.5 ng g-1. The transformation products of the analytes were also identified, and 29 transformation products were detected in 24 out of 27 extracts from soil samples.

Application of the Aliivibrio fischeri bacterium bioassay for assessing single and mixture effects of antibiotics and copper. FEMS Microbiol Ecol 2023; 99:fiad125. [PMID: 37822015 DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiad125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The Aliivibrio fischeri bioassay was successfully applied in order to evaluate the acute effect of sulfamethoxazole (SMX), ciprofloxacin (CIP), chlortetracycline (CTC) and copper (Cu), alone or in binary, ternary, and overall mixture. The toxicity results are reported in terms of both effective concentrations, which inhibited 50% of the bacterium bioluminescence (EC50%), and in Toxic Units (TUs). The TUs were compared with predicted values obtained using the Concentration Addition model (CA). Finally, the toxicity of water extracts from a soil contaminated by the three antibiotics (7 mg Kg-1 each) in the presence/absence of copper (30 mg Kg-1) was also evaluated. Copper was the most toxic chemical (EC50: 0.78 mg L-1), followed by CTC (EC50: 3.64 mg L-1), CIP (96 mg L-1) and SMX (196 mg L-1). Comparing the TU and CA values of the mixtures, additive effects were generally found. However, a synergic action was recorded in the case of the CIP+Cu co-presence and antagonistic effects in the case of CTC+Cu and the ternary mixture (containing each antibiotic at 0.7 mg L-1), were identified. Soil water extracts did not show any toxicity, demonstrating the buffering ability of the soil to immobilize these chemicals.

Characteristics of antimicrobial residues in manure composts from swine farms: Residual patterns, removal efficiencies, and relation to purchased quantities and composting methods in Japan. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132310.

Abstract
Present study provides first comprehensive results on the residual levels of 19 antimicrobial (AM) residues in 12 Japanese swine manure composting facilities that use open or enclosed types of treatment methods. Tilmicosin (14000 μg/kg d.w.) and tiamulin (15000 μg/kg d.w.) were present in the highest concentrations in manure composts. Morantel (MRT) had the highest detection frequency (100%) in compost, suggesting its ubiquitous usage and resistance to degradation during composting. Sulfamethoxazole had low detection frequencies and concentrations, likely due to limited partitioning to the solid phase. A positive correlation (p < 0.05) between purchasing quantities and residue levels in manure composts was detected for fluoroquinolones (FQs). The removal efficiencies of AMs in enclosed-type facilities were lower and more inconsistent than those in open-type facilities. Tetracyclines (TCs), lincomycin, and trimethoprim were easily removed from open-type facilities, whereas FQs and MRT persisted in both facilities. After discontinuing the usage of oxytetracycline (OTC), TCs concentrations reduced drastically in input materials, remained pseudo-persistent in composts for up to 4 months, suggesting a time lag for composting and were not detected (<10 µg/kg) after 4 months of OTC withdrawal. This study emphasizes on the effectiveness of manure composting methods in reducing AM residues in swine waste.

Abstract
Using bio-based fertilizer (BBF) in agricultural soil can reduce the dependency on chemical fertilizer and increase sustainability by recycling nutrient-rich side-streams. However, organic contaminants in BBFs may lead to residues in the treated soil. This study assessed the presence of organic contaminants in BBF treated soils, which is essential for evaluating sustainability/risks of BBF use. Soil samples from two field studies amended with 15 BBFs from various sources (agricultural, poultry, veterinary, and sludge) were analyzed. A combination of QuEChERS-based extraction, liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry-based (LC-QTOF-MS) quantitative analysis, and an advanced, automated data interpretation workflow was optimized to extract and analyze organic contaminants in BBF-treated agricultural soil. The comprehensive screening of organic contaminants was performed using target analysis and suspect screening. Of the 35 target contaminants, only three contaminants were detected in the BBF-treated soil with concentrations ranging from 0.4 ng g-1 to 28.7 ng g-1; out of these three detected contaminants, two were also present in the control soil sample. Suspect screening using patRoon (an R-based open-source software platform) workflows and the NORMAN Priority List resulted in tentative identification of 20 compounds (at level 2 and level 3 confidence level), primarily pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals, with only one overlapping compound in two experimental sites. The contamination profiles of the soil treated with BBFs sourced from veterinary and sludge were similar, with common pharmaceutical features identified. The suspect screening results suggest that the contaminants found in BBF-treated soil might come from alternative sources other than BBFs.

Abstract
Microbial degradation is considered an essential and promising treatment for sulfadimidine contamination of soil. To address the low colonization rates and inefficiencies of typical antibiotic-degrading bacteria, sulfamethazine (SM2)-degrading strain H38 is converted into immobilized bacteria in this study. Results show that the removal rate of SM2 by immobilized strain H38 reaches 98% at 36 h, whereas the removal rate of SM2 by free bacteria reaches 75.2% at 60 h. In addition, the immobilized bacteria H38 exhibits tolerance to a wide range of pH (5-9) and temperature (20 °C-40 °C). As the amount of inoculation increases and the initial concentration of SM2 decreases, the removal rate of SM2 by the immobilized strain H38 increases gradually. Laboratory soil remediation tests show that the immobilized strain H38 can remove 90.0% of SM2 from the soil on the 12th day, which exceeds the removal by free bacteria by 23.9% in the same period. Additionally, the results show that the immobilized strain H38 enhances the overall activity of microorganisms in SM2-contaminated soil. Compared with the SM2 only (control group containing no bacteria) and free bacterial treatment groups, the gene expression levels of ammonia-oxidizing archaea, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, cbbLG, and cbbM increased significantly in the treatment group with immobilized strain H38. This study shows that immobilized strain H38 can reduce the effect of SM2 on soil ecology to a greater extent than free bacteria, while providing safe and effective remediation.

Abstract
This paper describes the views of 779 U.S. residents on questions related to therapeutic antibiotic use in dairy cattle. An online survey was conducted with qualitative (open-ended) questions. Respondents were offered one of three scenarios with varying degrees of information describing a farmer with a sick cow that would benefit from antibiotic therapy. The text replies to the open-ended questions were analyzed by grouping responses with similar comments and identifying patterns or themes. Content analysis showed that many of the participants in this study provided farmers with the social license to treat sick cows with antibiotics; however, some participants commented on the social license not necessarily extending to antibiotic use for growth promotion or prophylactic use. Our findings are not generalizable, but may provide some insight that should be considered when developing policies and practices regarding the use of antibiotics on dairy farms that may promote improved alignment with societal values.

Abstract
Background and Aim Livestock waste in the form of feces and liquid represents an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Because many ARGs can be horizontally transferred to other pathogens, livestock waste plays an essential role in the emergence and transmission of various ARGs in the environment. Therefore, this study aimed to detect and assess the diversity of tet genes in Escherichia coli isolated from pig farm waste in Banten province, Indonesia. Materials and Methods Solid waste (feces) and wastewater were collected from 44 pig farms in Banten province. The isolation and identification of E. coli referred to the Global Tricycle Surveillance extended-spectrum beta-lactamase E. coli World Health Organization (2021) guidelines. tet genes were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction after dividing pig farms in the province into four clusters based on their adjacent areas and characteristics. Results tetA, tetB, tetC, tetM, tetO, and tetX were detected in solid waste and wastewater from pig farms, whereas tetE was not detected in either sample type. tetX (100%) and tetO (75%) were the most dominant genes in solid waste, whereas wastewater samples were dominated by tetA, tetM, tetO, and tetX (prevalence of 50% each). Furthermore, eight tet gene patterns were found in pig farm waste (prevalence of 12.5% each). Conclusion The results showed a high prevalence of tetO and tetX in solid waste and wastewater from pig farms in Banten province. This significant prevalence and diversity indicated the transmission of tet genes from pigs to the environment, posing a serious threat to public health.

Abstract
Conventional and bio-organic fertilizers play an important role in maintaining soil health and promoting crop growth. However, the effect of organic fertilizers on the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the vegetable cropping system has been largely overlooked. In this study, we investigated the impacts of soil properties and biotic factors on ARG profiles by analyzing ARG and bacterial communities in vegetable copping soils with a long-term history of manure and bio-organic fertilizer application. The ARG abundance in the soil was significantly increased by 116% with manure application compared to synthetic NPK fertilizer application. This finding was corroborated by our meta-analysis that the longer the duration of manure application, the greater the response of increased soil ARG abundance. However, bio-organic fertilizers containing Trichoderma spp. Significantly reduced ARG contamination by 31% compared to manure application. About half of the ARG variation was explained by changes in bacterial abundance and structure, followed by soil properties. The mitigation of ARG by Trichoderma spp. Is achieved by altering the structure of the bacterial community and weakening the close association between bacteria and ARG prevalence. Taken together, these findings shed light on the contribution of bio-organic fertilizers in mitigating ARG contamination in agricultural soils, which can help manage the ecological risk posed by ARG inputs associated with manure application.

Abstract
Poultry farming is a major livelihood in South and Southeast Asian economies where it is undergoing rapid intensification to meet the growing human demand for dietary protein. Intensification of poultry production systems is commonly supported by increased antimicrobial drug use, risking greater selection and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). Transmission of ARGs through food chains is an emerging threat. Here, we investigated transmission of ARGs from chicken (broiler and layer) litter to soil and Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench plants based on field and pot experiments. The results demonstrate ARGs transmission from poultry litter to plant systems under field as well as experimental pot conditions. The most common ARGs could be tracked for transmission from litter to soil to plants were identified as detected were cmx, ErmX, ErmF, lnuB, TEM-98 and TEM-99, while common microorganisms included Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Vibrio cholerae. Using next generation sequencing and digital PCR assays we detected ARGs transmitted from poultry litter in both the roots and stems of S. bicolor (L.) Moench plants. Poultry litter is frequently used as a fertiliser because of its high nitrogen content; our studies show that ARGs can transmit from litter to plants and illustrates the risks posed to the environment by antimicrobial treatment of poultry. This knowledge is useful for formulating intervention strategies that can reduce or prevent ARGs transmission from one value chain to another, improving understanding of impacts on human and environmental health. The research outcome will help in further understanding the transmission and risks posed by ARGs from poultry to environmental and human/animal health.

Abstract
Microplastics are plastic particles with particle size less than 5 mm in the environment. As an emerging organic pollutant, the presence of microplastics in the soil environment has been widely noticed. Secondly, due to the overuse of antibiotics, a large amount of antibiotics that cannot be fully absorbed by humans and livestock enter the soil environment in the form of urine or manure, making the soil suffer from serious antibiotic contamination problems. To address the environmental problems of microplastics and antibiotic contamination in soil, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of PE microplastics on antibiotic degradation, microbial community characteristics and ARGs in tetracycline-contaminated soils. The results showed that the addition of PE microplastics inhibited the degradation of tetracycline, and significantly increased the organic carbon content and decreased the neutral phosphatase activity. The addition of PE microplastics significantly reduced the alpha diversity of soil microbial community. Compared to the single tetracycline contamination. In addition, combined contamination with PE microplastics and tetracycline significantly affected bacterial genera such as Aeromicrobium, Rhodococcus, Mycobacterium and Intrasporangium. Metagenome sequencing studies revealed that the addition of PE microplastics inhibited the dissipation of ARGs in tetracycline-contaminated soils. There were strong positive correlations between Multidrug, Aminoglycoside and Clycopeptide resistance genes and Chloroflexi and Proteobacteria in tetracycline contaminated soils, and there was a strong positive correlation between Aminoglycoside resistance genes and Actinobacteria in combined contamination of PE microplastics and tetracycline. This study will provide some data support for the current environmental risk assessment of the coexistence of multiple contaminants in soil.

Wen H, Jiang Y, Deng X, Nan Z, Liang X, Diao J. Potential output and risk of commonly administered veterinary antibiotics from small-scale livestock farms to surrounding areas in Northwest China. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 333:117468. [PMID: 36758397 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The concern over antibiotic pollution from animal husbandry has significantly increased over recent years. However, few studies on output and environmental risk of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) throughout different exposure matrices from small-scale livestock farms (SSLFs) have been explored. This study explored the output and environmental risk of three classes of VAs (sulfonamides (SAs), tetracyclines (TCs), fluoroquinolones (FQs)) in three different types of environmental media (manure, soil, and plants/vegetables) derived from four livestock feedlots in the Hexi Corridor of Northwest China. Following, a risk assessment was conducted to identify the hazardous potential of these VAs on the ecological health of the surrounding environment. A total of 108 soil, 36 manure, 12 plants/vegetables, and 15 animal product samples were collected from the animal feedlots for analysis. The results showed that each of the three groups of VAs were detected in the soil, manure and plant samples derived from all four feedlots in varying levels. In the soil samples, the detection rate of SAs (68%) was higher than the TCs (57%) and the FQs (27%). The total concentration of VAs ranged from not detected (n.d.) to 275 ng/g, while chlortetracycline (CTC) was the most abundant (275 ng/g) of the VAs in soil samples. The SAs had the highest detection rate (100%), followed by TCs (89%), and FQs (78%) in manure samples. The total concentration of VAs residues ranged from n. d. to 105 ng/g, of which CTC was as high as 91 ng/g in manures. In the plant/vegetable samples, the TCs had the highest detection rate (58%), while sulfamethazine (SDM) was the most abundant (32 ng/g). The total concentration of the VAs ranged from n. d. to 65 ng/g in the plant/vegetable samples. The target VAs were not detected in animal products. Measurements of the composition of VAs in soil samples at different vertical depths as well as horizontal distances from the manure accumulation sites showed that VAs were partially retained in the soil of the feedlots and were distributed into the surrounding environment both horizontally and vertically. It is suspected that the detected VAs could be accumulated in agricultural soils since they could be found in most of the sampled manures and soils in SSLFs. These results highlighted the necessity of considering SSLF practices to mange the accumulation and disposal of manure mitigating and controlling VA pollution.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) that persist and bioaccumulate in the environment have aroused people's great concern. Here, we studied the adverse effects of FQs in soil animals of Caenorhabditis elegans via food-chronically exposure. The result shows C. elegans exposed to FQs exhibited reproductive toxicity with small-brood size and low-egg hatchability. To study the underlying mechanism, we conduct a deep investigation of enrofloxacin (ENR), one of the most frequently detected FQs, on nematodes which is one of commonly used animal indicator of soil sustainability. The concentration-effect curves simulated by the Hill model showed that the half effect concentrations (EC50) of ENR were (494.3 ± 272.9) µmol/kg and (107.4 ± 30.9) µmol/kg for the brood size and the hatchability, respectively. Differential gene expression between the control and the ENR-exposure group enriched with the oxidative stress and cell apoptosis pathways. The results together with the enzyme activity in oxidative stress and the cell corpses suggested that ENR-induced reproductive toxicity was related to germ cell apoptosis under oxidative stress. The risk quotients of some soil and livestock samples were calculated based on the threshold value of EC10 for the egg hatchability (2.65 µmol/kg). The results indicated that there was possible reproductive toxicity on the nematodes in certain agricultural soils for the FQs. This study suggested that chronic exposure to FQs at certain levels in environment would induce reproductive toxicity to the nematodes and might reduce the soil sustainability, alarming the environment risks of antibiotics abuse.

Abstract
As a new type of environmental pollutant, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a huge challenge to global health. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) represents an important route for the spread of ARGs. The widespread use of sulfamethazine (SM2) as a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agent leads to high residual levels in the environment, thereby increasing the spread of ARGs. Therefore, we chose to study the effect of SM2 on the HGT of ARGs mediated by plasmid RP4 from Escherichia coli (E. coli) HB101 to E. coli NK5449 as well as its mechanism of action. The results showed that compared with the control group, SM2 at concentrations of 10 mg/L and 200 mg/L promoted the HGT of ARGs, but transfer frequency decreased at concentrations of 100 mg/L and 500 mg/L. The transfer frequency at 200 mg/L was 3.04 × 10-5, which was 1.34-fold of the control group. The mechanism of SM2 improving conjugation transfer is via enhancement of the mRNA expression of conjugation genes (trbBP, trfAP) and oxidative stress genes, inhibition of the mRNA expression of vertical transfer genes, up regulation of the outer membrane protein genes (ompC, ompA), promotion of the formation of cell pores, and improvement of the permeability of cell membrane to promote the conjugation transfer of plasmid RP4. The results of this study provide theoretical support for studying the spread of ARGs in the environment.

Abstract
As an emerging environmental contaminant, the widespread of antibiotic resistance has caused a series of environmental issues and human health concerns. A load of antibiotic residues induced by agricultural practices have exerted selective pressure to bacterial communities in the soil-plant system, which facilitated the occurrence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through horizontal gene transfer. As a result, the enrichment of ARGs within crops at harvest under the influence of food ingestion could lead to critical concerns of public health. In this review, the prevalence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance in the soil-plant system are highlighted. Moreover, different underlying mechanisms and detection methods for ARGs transfer between the soil environment and plant compartments are summarized and discussed. On the other hand, a wide range of influencing factors for the transfer and distribution of antibiotic resistance within the soil-plant system are also presented and discussed. In response to exposure of antibiotic residues and resistomes, corresponding hazard identification assessments have been summarized, which could provide beneficial guides of the toxicological tolerance for the general population. Finally, further research priorities for detection and management ARGs spread are also suggested.

Abstract
The diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique is an excellent method for investigating the dynamic processes of antibiotics in soils. However, whether it is applicable in antibiotic bioavailability assessment is yet to be disclosed. This study employed DGT to determine the antibiotic bioavailability in soil, and compared the results with plant uptake, soil solutions, and solvent extraction methods. DGT exhibited predictive capability for plant taking in antibiotics proved by the significant linear relationship between the DGT based concentration (CDGT) and antibiotic concentration in roots and shoots. Although the performance of soil solution was acceptable based on linear relationship analysis, its stability was weaker than DGT. The results based on plant uptake and DGT indicated the bioavailable antibiotic contents in different soils were inconsistent because of the distinct mobility and resupply of sulphonamides and trimethoprim in different soils, as represented by Kd and Rds, which were affected by soil properties. Plant species played an important role in antibiotic uptake and translocation. Antibiotic uptake by plants depends on antibiotic, plant and soil. These results confirmed the capability of DGT in determining antibiotic bioavailability for the first time. This work provided a simple and powerful tool for environmental risk evaluation of antibiotics in soils.

Abstract
A novel particle combined electrode named TiO2/g-C3N4@AC (TGCN-AC) was prepared by loading TiO2 and g-C3N4 on activated carbon through gel method, which was used to degrade levofloxacin (LEF) in pharmaceutical wastewater by photoelectric process. The remarkable physicochemical features of particle electrodes were verified by using diverse characterization techniques including SEM-EDS, XRD, FT-IR, BET and pHZPC. EIS-CV and photocurrent showed excellent electrocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis performance of particle electrodes. The photocatalytic characteristics and fluorescence properties of the particle electrode were proved by UV-vis DRS and PL spectra measurements. Combined with Tauc's plot and Mott-Schottky plots curves, the ECB and EVB of particle electrodes were determined. The experiments on different influence factors such as pH, ultrasonic, aeration, current density and the concentration of LEF were carried out in the photoelectric reactor. Under the conditions of pH values 3.0, 200 W ultrasonic, 8 L/min aeration, the mass ratio of g-C3N4 and TiO2 is 8%, after 4.0 h of photoelectric process, about 94.76% of LEF (20 mg/L) in water was degraded. TGCN-AC also has excellent reusability. The degradation rate of LEF can still reach 71.17% after repeated use for 6 times. Scavenger studies showed that h+ and O2- were the main active species. By observing the colony size of E. coli, it was proved that the LEF in the effluent had no antibacterial activity. The degradation pathways of LEF was analyzed and drawn by HPLC-MS spectra.

Abstract
This study investigated the behavior of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in a small farm ecosystem. Manure and environmental samples were collected around a large pig farm in northeast China. Thirty-four VAs in six categories were analyzed. Then, a multimedia fugacity model was used to estimate the fates of VAs in the environment. The results showed that VAs were prevalent in manure, soil, water, and sediment, but not in crops. Compared with fresh manure, VA levels were significantly lower in surface manure piles left in the open air for 3-6 months. The main VAs, tetracyclines and quinolones, decreased by 427.12 and 158.45 µg/kg, respectively. VAs from manure piles were transported to the surroundings and migrated vertically into deep soil. The concentrations of ∑VAs detected in agricultural soils were 0.03-4.60 µg/kg; > 94% of the mass inventory of the VAs was retained in soil organic matter (SOM), suggesting that SOM is the main reservoir for antibiotics in soil. Risk assessment and model analysis indicated that the negative impact of mixed antibiotics at low concentrations in farmland on crops may be mediated by indirect effects, rather than direct effects. Our findings highlight the environmental fates and risks of antibiotics from livestock farms.

Abstract
Water disinfection during drinking water production is one of the most important processes to ensure safe drinking water, which is gaining even more importance due to the increasing impact of climate change. With specific reaction partners, chemical oxidants can form secondary oxidants, which can cause additional damage to bacteria. Cases in point are chlorine dioxide which forms free available chlorine (e.g., in the reaction with phenol) and ozone which can form hydroxyl radicals (e.g., during the reaction with natural organic matter). The present work reviews the complex interplay of all these reactive species which can occur in disinfection processes and their potential to affect disinfection processes. A quantitative overview of their disinfection strength based on inactivation kinetics and typical exposures is provided. By unifying the current data for different oxidants it was observable that cultivated wild strains (e.g., from wastewater treatment plants) are in general more resistant towards chemical oxidants compared to lab-cultivated strains from the same bacterium. Furthermore, it could be shown that for selective strains chlorine dioxide is the strongest disinfectant (highest maximum inactivation), however as a broadband disinfectant ozone showed the highest strength (highest average inactivation). Details in inactivation mechanisms regarding possible target structures and reaction mechanisms are provided. Thereby the formation of secondary oxidants and their role in inactivation of pathogens is decently discussed. Eventually, possible defense responses of bacteria and additional effects which can occur in vivo are discussed.

Digestate from Agricultural Biogas Plants as a Reservoir of Antimicrobials and Antibiotic Resistance Genes-Implications for the Environment. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:2672. [PMID: 36768038 PMCID: PMC9915926 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20032672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Antimicrobials and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in substrates processed during anaerobic digestion in agricultural biogas plants (BPs) can reach the digestate (D), which is used as fertilizer. Antimicrobials and ARGs can be transferred to agricultural land, which increases their concentrations in the environment. The concentrations of 13 antibiotics in digestate samples from biogas plants (BPs) were investigated in this study. The abundance of ARGs encoding resistance to beta-lactams, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin antibiotics, and the integrase genes were determined in the analyzed samples. The presence of cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium, zinc, and mercury was also examined. Antimicrobials were not eliminated during anaerobic digestion. Their concentrations differed in digestates obtained from different substrates and in liquid and solid fractions (ranging from 62.8 ng/g clarithromycin in the solid fraction of sewage sludge digestate to 1555.9 ng/L doxycycline in the liquid fraction of cattle manure digestate). Digestates obtained from plant-based substrates were characterized by high concentrations of ARGs (ranging from 5.73 × 102 copies/gDcfxA to 2.98 × 109 copies/gDsul1). The samples also contained mercury (0.5 mg/kg dry mass (dm)) and zinc (830 mg/kg dm). The results confirmed that digestate is a reservoir of ARGs (5.73 × 102 to 8.89 × 1010 copies/gD) and heavy metals (HMs). In addition, high concentrations of integrase genes (105 to 107 copies/gD) in the samples indicate that mobile genetic elements may be involved in the spread of antibiotic resistance. The study suggested that the risk of soil contamination with antibiotics, HMs, and ARGs is high in farms where digestate is used as fertilizer.

Lee C, Ju M, Lee J, Kim S, Kim JY. Long-term inhibition of chlortetracycline antibiotics on anaerobic digestion of swine manure. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 326:116802. [PMID: 36442333 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.116802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to identify whether chronic effects are present in the anaerobic digestion (AD) of swine manure (SM) containing chlortetracycline (CTC), which is one of the major broad-spectrum veterinary antibiotics, and to elucidate the long-term inhibitory effects and recovery from the inhibition based on AD performance and microbial community. Two continuous-stirred tank reactors treating SM with and without CTC spiking (3 mg/L) were operated for 900 days. Due to the degradation and transformation, the total concentration including CTC's epimer and isomer in the test reactor was 1.5 mg/L. The exposure level was determined according to probabilistically estimated concentrations with uncertainties in field conditions. Until the cessation of CTC exposure on day 585, the methane generation of test reactor continuously decreased to 55 ± 17 mL/g-VS/day, 53% that of control. The methane generation and organic removal were not recovered within 300 days after the CTC exposure was stopped. During the experiment, stability parameters such as pH, total ammonium nitrogen, the composition of methane and alkalinity were the same for both reactors. The concentration and composition of VFAs in the test reactor were different with those of control but not in inhibition level. Microbial profiles revealed that reduction in bacterial diversity and changed balance in microbial species resulted in the performance downgrade under the long-term antibiotic pressure. Since it is hard to recover from the inhibition and difficult to predict the inhibition using physicochemical indicators, continuous exposure to CTC needs to be avoided for the sustainable management of AD plants treating SM.

Abstract
Nickel-impregnated TiO2 photocatalyst (NiTP) responding to visible light was prepared by the liquid phase plasma (LPP) method, and its photoactivity was evaluated in degrading an antibiotic (oxytetracycline, OTC). For preparing the photocatalyst, nickel was uniformly impregnated onto TiO2 (P-25) powder, and the nickel content increased as the number of LPP reactions increased. In addition, the morphology and lattice of NiTP were observed through various instrumental analyses, and it was confirmed that NiO-type nanoparticles were impregnated in NiTP. Fundamentally, as the amount of impregnated nickel in the TiO2 powder increased sufficiently, the band gap energy of TiO2 decreased, and eventually, the NiTP excited by visible light was synthesized. Further, OTC had a decomposition reaction pathway in which active radicals generated in OTC photocatalytic reaction under NiTP were finally mineralized through reactions such as decarboxamidation, hydration, deamination, demethylation, and dehydroxylation. In effect, we succeeded in synthesizing a photocatalyst useable under visible light by performing only the LPP single process and developed a new advanced oxidation process (AOP) that can remove toxic antibiotics.

Abstract
Veterinary drugs are frequently employed to treat and prevent diseases in food-producing animals to improve animal health and to avoid the introduction of microorganisms into the food chain. The analysis of the presence of pharmaceutical residues in animal manure could help to evaluate the legal and illegal practices during food production without harming the animals and to correctly manage manure when it is going to be applied as a fertilizer. This article describes a method for the simultaneous analysis of 29 active substances, mostly antibiotics and antiparasitic agents. Substances were extracted from lyophilized manure with a methanol:McIlvaine solution and analyzed with HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and a C18 HPLC column. The method was validated following European guidelines, the achieved trueness was between 63 and 128% (depending on the analytes), and the linearity was between 100 and 1500 µg/kg. The applicability of the method was demonstrated in 40 manure samples collected from pig farms where tetracycline was quantified in 7.5% of the samples. These results show the viability of this non-invasive method for the control of the legal and illegal administration of pharmaceuticals in food-producing animals.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 315:120413.

Abstract
The degradation and bioaccumulation of selected antibiotics such as the sulfonamide sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and the fluoroquinolones enrofloxacin (ENR) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) were investigated in soil microcosm experiments where Lactuca sativa was grown with manure or digestate (1%) and spiked with a mixture of the three antibiotics (7.5 mg/kg each). The soil, rhizosphere and leaf phyllosphere were sampled (at 0 and 46 days) from each microcosm to analyze the antibiotic concentrations, main resistance genes (sul1, sul2, qnrS, aac-(6')-Ib-crand qepA), the intI1and tnpA mobile genetic elements and the microbial community structure.Overall results showed that SMX and CIP decreased (70-85% and 55-79%, respectively), and ENR was quite persistent during the 46-day experiment. In plant presence, CIP and ENR were partially up-taken from soil to plant. In fact the bioaccumulation factors were > 1, with higher values in manure than digestate amended soils. The most abundant gene in soil was sul2 in digestate- and aac-(6')-Ib-cr in the manure-amended microcosms. In soil, neither sulfamethoxazole-resistance (sul1 and sul2), nor fluoroquinolone-resistance (aac-(6')-Ib-cr, qepA and qnrS) gene abundances were correlated with any antibiotic concentration. On the contrary, in lettuce leaves, the aac-(6')-Ib-cr gene was the most abundant, in accordance with the fluoroquinolone bioaccumulation. Finally, digestate stimulated a higher soil microbial biodiversity, introducing and promoting more bacterial genera associated with antibiotic degradation and involved in soil fertility and decreased fluoroquinolone bioaccumulation.

Abstract
Antibiotic distribution and analysis within liquid and solid fractions of manure are highly variable due to each compound’s respective physiochemical properties. This study developed and evaluated a uniform method extracting 10 antibiotics from 4 antibiotic classes (tetracycline, sulfonamides, macrolides, and β-lactam) from unprocessed manure, solid−liquid separated manure, and composted solids. Through systematic manipulation of previously published liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry methods; this study developed an extraction protocol with optimized recovery efficiencies for varied manure substrates. The method includes a two-step, liquid-solid extraction using 10 mL of 0.1 M EDTA-McIlviane buffer followed by 10 mL of methanol. Antibiotics recoveries from unprocessed manure, separated liquids, separated solids, and heat-treated solids using the two-step extraction method had relative standard deviations < 30% for all but ceftiofur. Total antibiotic recoveries were 67−131% for tetracyclines, 56% for sulfonamide, 49−53% for macrolides, and 1.3−66% for β-lactams. This is the first study to use one protocol to assess four classes of antibiotics in liquid and solid manure fractions. This study allowed for more precise risk assessment of antibiotic transport in manure waste stream applied to fields as a liquid or solid compost.

Abstract
This study developed a new water treatment method using liquid-phase plasma (LPP) process that can decompose oxytetracycline (OTC) remaining in the aquatic environment. Relatedly, the OTC causes damage to the human body and cannot be removed by traditional water treatment methods. The study also prepared Fe/TiO2 photocatalyst responding to visible light using the LPP process. In particular, the OTC decomposition efficiency of the LPP process improved by more than 10% with the use of the Fe/TiO2 photocatalyst as compared to that of the one with the use of bare TiO2 photocatalyst. Further, the optimal LPP process parameters and Fe/TiO2 photocatalyst amount in the LPP process for OTC decomposition were established in the study. Finally, the degradation pathway of the OTC in the LPP process was found based on the five intermediates of the LPP reaction that were detected by the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. In particular, the decomposition pathway was estimated to be involving the mineralization of the OTC through demethylation, deamination, dehydration, and ring cleavage.

Abstract
In this research, the adsorption/desorption of the antibiotics doxycycline (DC), enrofloxacin (ENR), and sulfamethoxypyradazine (SMP) was studied in 6 agricultural soils with predominance of variable charge, both before and after removing organic matter by calcination. DC adsorption was high at acidic pH, and decreased at pH values above 8. Removal of organic matter with calcination caused just a slight decrease in adsorption, and even in some soils adsorption was similar to that in non-calcined samples. The adsorption coefficients (Kd) were higher for the DC- species compared to DC+, DC0 and DC2-. Regarding DC desorption, the values were very low throughout the pH range covered in the study (2-12), both in the calcined samples and in those not subjected to calcination. ENR showed a similar behavior to DC regarding the effect of pH, since ENR adsorption also decreased at basic pH, but the effect of removing organic matter was different, as it caused a clear decrease in ENR adsorption. The species with the highest Kd was in this case ENR0, although ENR+ is also quantitatively important as regards Kd value in calcined samples. For this antibiotic, no differences in desorption were observed between calcined and non-calcined samples. Finally, SMP adsorption also decreased as pH increased, and, in addition, similarly to what happened with ENR, in general, there was a strong decrease in SMP adsorption when organic matter was removed. The species with the highest Kd in this case was SMP+ in non-calcined samples, but SMP0 and SMP- become more relevant in calcined samples. The percentages of SMP desorption were higher than those for the other two antibiotics, and an increase occurs at intermediate pH values, being higher for calcined samples. These results can be considered relevant in terms of increasing the knowledge as regards the possible evolution and fate of the three antibiotics studied. Specifically, for different pH conditions and with different organic matter contents, when they reach soils and other environmental compartments after being discharged as contaminants. This could have important repercussions on public health and the overall environment.

Abstract
Mattress is among the main products of ectopic fermentation system (EFS); however, the research on the data of antimicrobial residues in the mattress of EFS and risk assessments of mattress have not been conducted. This study involved a scale survey to assess the levels and distributions of 54 antimicrobial residues, including 4 tetracyclines, 19 quinolones, 22 sulfonamides, 3 amphenicols, and 6 macrolides in mattress on 12 swine farms that use ectopic fermentation systems (EFS) in Zhejiang Province. A total of 25 antimicrobials were detected in mattress, and the total residue amount of antimicrobial in mattress samples of each farm was 0.77-28.2 g/T. Chlortetracycline had the highest contribution rate, and the residue amount of antimicrobial in mattress is not entirely determined by the start-up time of EFS but is related to the use of feed containing antimicrobial, medication habits, the level of mattress management, and maintenance methods of EFS. The risk assessments of antimicrobial in the mattress were carried out. The results show that the risk of using mattress of EFS for soil is low.

Abstract
Globally, there is an upsurge in the use of unregulated veterinary pharmaceuticals with enhanced release into the environment, resulting in water pollution, which is difficult to remediate. To address this issue, we synthesized and characterized highly hydrophobic three-dimensional ordered engineered geomedia with multiple channels. Kaolin clay (K) was functionalized with either graphene oxide (GO) synthesized via Tour's method or reduced GO in situ with covalently linked methoxyether polyethylene glycol (GO-PEG) using a simple and easily scalable amidation reaction. This was done to enhance the adsorption of olaquindox, a veterinary antibiotic. The X-ray diffraction profile confirmed the grafting of GO and GO-PEG to kaolin. Morphological analysis revealed the architecture of thin films of GO/GO-PEG grafted on the kaolin surface with extensive porosity. Energy-dispersive X-ray mapping, infra-red spectra, and elemental analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of the engineered geomedia composite of K, GO/rGO, and PEG (KrGO-PEG). Due to multiple surface functional groups of polyamide and amido-carbonic groups on the KrGO-PEG composite, it was suitable for olaquindox adsorption. In batch sorption studies of 0.5XKrO-PEG, the effect of pH (2-10) was negligible but with fast equilibrium time (2-1440 min) at 30 min, while the kinetics and equilibrium data suited the pseudo-second order and Langmuir models, respectively. The maximum adsorption value obtained for the composite was 59.5 mg/g; the higher the GO content, the higher the adsorption. The sorption mechanism was majorly through hydrophobic and π-π interactions. Regenerated/reused adsorbents after 4 cycles had the same efficacy in remediating olaquindox from simulated/real water.

Insights into the impact of manure on the environmental antibiotic residues and resistance pool. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:965132. [PMID: 36187968 PMCID: PMC9522911 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.965132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The intensive use of antibiotics in the veterinary sector, linked to the application of manure-derived amendments in agriculture, translates into increased environmental levels of chemical residues, AR bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARG). The aim of this review was to evaluate the current evidence regarding the impact of animal farming and manure application on the antibiotic resistance pool in the environment. Several studies reported correlations between the prevalence of clinically relevant ARB and the amount and classes of antibiotics used in animal farming (high resistance rates being reported for medically important antibiotics such as penicillins, tetracyclines, sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones). However, the results are difficult to compare, due to the diversity of the used antimicrobials quantification techniques and to the different amounts and types of antibiotics, exhibiting various degradation times, given in animal feed in different countries. The soils fertilized with manure-derived products harbor a higher and chronic abundance of ARB, multiple ARG and an enriched associated mobilome, which is also sometimes seen in the crops grown on the amended soils. Different manure processing techniques have various efficiencies in the removal of antibiotic residues, ARB and ARGs, but there is only a small amount of data from commercial farms. The efficiency of sludge anaerobic digestion appears to be dependent on the microbial communities composition, the ARB/ARG and operating temperature (mesophilic vs. thermophilic conditions). Composting seems to reduce or eliminate most of antibiotics residues, enteric bacteria, ARB and different representative ARG in manure more rapidly and effectively than lagoon storage. Our review highlights that despite the body of research accumulated in the last years, there are still important knowledge gaps regarding the contribution of manure to the AMR emergence, accumulation, spread and risk of human exposure in countries with high clinical resistance rates. Land microbiome before and after manure application, efficiency of different manure treatment techniques in decreasing the AMR levels in the natural environments and along the food chain must be investigated in depth, covering different geographical regions and countries and using harmonized methodologies. The support of stakeholders is required for the development of specific best practices for prudent – cautious use of antibiotics on farm animals. The use of human reserve antibiotics in veterinary medicine and of unprescribed animal antimicrobials should be stopped and the use of antibiotics on farms must be limited. This integrated approach is needed to determine the optimal conditions for the removal of antibiotic residues, ARB and ARG, to formulate specific recommendations for livestock manure treatment, storage and handling procedures and to translate them into practical on-farm management decisions, to ultimately prevent exposure of human population.

Ecotoxicological effects of untreated pig manure from diets with or without growth-promoting supplements on Eisenia andrei in subtropical soils.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of untreated pig manure from diets incorporating growth-promoting supplements (antibiotics and Zn oxide) on the survival and reproduction of Eisenia andrei earthworms. The tested manures were obtained from four different groups of pigs fed with four different diets: CS, a diet based on corn and soymeal; TR, a diet based on corn, soymeal, and ground wheat (15%); CSa, a diet based on corn and soymeal + 100 ppm of doxycycline + 50 ppm of colistin + 2500 ppm of Zn oxide; and TRa, a diet based on corn, soymeal, and ground wheat (15%) + 100 ppm of doxycycline + 50 ppm of colistin + 2500 ppm of Zn oxide. The study used two soils representative of the Southern region of Brazil (Oxisol and Entisol). In general, there were no significant differences between the different manures tested in each soil. However, there were differences in the toxicity manure on E. andrei between the soils, and the magnitude of this effect was dependent on the applied dose. In Oxisol, LC50 values were higher than 80 m3 ha-1, and EC50 varied from 9 to 27 m3 ha-1. In Entisol, the LC50 values were below the lowest dose tested (< 25 m3 ha-1), and EC50 remained around 5 m3 ha-1. It may be possible that the effects observed were attributed to an excess of nitrogen, copper, and zinc, promoted by the addition of the untreated manure and how these factors interacted with soil type.

Abstract
The residue of antibiotics in the soil is becoming more and more common, which may affect the normal growth of plants and organisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the residues of antibiotics in tea gardens' soil after a long-term application of manure. An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to simultaneously determine the residues of 32 antibiotics in the soil of tea gardens after fertilization. The samples were extracted with methanol-acetonitrile and purified with C18 at the same time. Then, mixed dispersive sorbents dispersed in a syringe were used for the second purification. The results showed that the antibiotics have a good linear relationship within the range. The recovery rate is 70.1-120.3%. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by analyzing 30 real samples (with a detection rate of 43.3%). The method is a simple and environmentally friendly method for the analysis of multiple antibiotics in soils, and it could provide a basis for the risk assessment of antibiotics in agricultural environments and the standard application of organic fertilizers in tea gardens.
