Abstract
The human volatilome comprises a vast mixture of volatile emissions produced by the human body and its microbiomes. Following infection, the human volatilome undergoes significant shifts, and presents a unique medium for non-invasive biomarker discovery. In this review, we examine how the onset of infection impacts the production of volatile metabolites that reflects dysbiosis by pathogenic microbes. We describe key analytical workflows applied across both microbial and clinical volatilomics and emphasize the value in linking microbial studies to clinical investigations to robustly elucidate the metabolic species and pathways leading to the observed volatile signatures. We review the current state of the art across microbial and clinical volatilomics, outlining common objectives and successes of microbial-clinical volatilomic workflows. Finally, we propose key challenges, as well as our perspectives on emerging opportunities for developing clinically useful and targeted workflows that could significantly enhance and expedite current practices in infection diagnosis and monitoring.

Abstract
Due to the high demand for honey, beekeepers often feed the bees with antibiotics to protect honeybees against illnesses; the determination of veterinary drugs and their residues in bee products especially in honey is gaining importance. In this study, commercially available 15 different brands, a total of 22 honey (14 blossoms and 8 pines) samples obtained from 5 chain supermarkets in the city of Bingöl and Diyarbakır, Turkey were analysed for 29 antibiotic residues. These antibiotics belong to 10 different categories, including tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, macrolides, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, benzimidazoles, anthelmintic, amphenicols, quinolines, and oxazolidines. For the qualitative and quantitative determination of the antibiotics, a triple quadrupole liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used. A total of 10 out of 22 honey (8 blossom, 57.14 % and 2 pine, 25 %) samples were found to be positive for antibiotics. Among the tested antibiotics, tetracycline, dihydrostreptomycin, streptomycin, erythromycin, and sulfadimidine were detected in the honey samples. Dihydrostreptomycin and sulfadimidine were detected in 6 samples, erythromycin was determined in 4 samples, streptomycin was found in 2 samples, and lastly, tetracycline was detected only in one sample. The highest and the lowest concentrations of antibiotics detected in the samples were dihydrostreptomycin and erythromycin found at the amount of 992.58 μg/kg and 0.77 μg/kg respectively. The proposed method was validated with a limit of quantification (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) ranging between 0.42 and 3.22 μg /kg and 0.13-0.97 μg /kg respectively. Good linearities were also achieved ranging between R2 =0.987 and 0.999.

Abstract
Intensive aquaculture combatting the decline of large yellow croaker populations can trigger bacterial outbreaks, resulting in extensive antibiotic use. In this study, we screened 5 aquaculture sites in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and identified 17 antibiotics in large yellow croakers using UPLC-MS/MS. The distribution and occurrence of antibiotic pollutants were different in the different tissues of large yellow croakers, being primarily dominated by quinolones. Relatively higher average residue levels of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were detected in the inedible parts, specifically the gills (37.29 μg/kg). Meanwhile, relatively high average residue levels of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were also found in the edible parts, particularly in the muscle (23.18 μg/kg). We observed that the residue levels detected in the swim bladder exceeded the prescribed limit for fish muscle, but there is currently no specific regulatory limit established for this particular tissue. Despite the HI values of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin being below 0.01, the health risks should not be disregarded. The findings of this research provide significant practical implications for assessing antibiotic contamination and enhancing the risk management of coastal regions.

Abstract
Exposure to antibiotics, mainly from animal food ingestion, may have adverse effects on human health. Takeaway food is the preferred choice for the dietary of most Chinese young people nowadays, but the relationship between takeaway eating and antibiotic exposure is not yet adequately understood. In the present study, 297 young people were recruited to collect urine samples and questionnaires with an emphasis on their takeaway eating habits. The internal exposure to 16 antibiotics and three metabolites was measured in urine samples by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, as well as a DNA oxidative damage marker, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). At least one kind of antibiotic was found in over 90 % of urine samples, with total concentrations from 0.667 to 3.02 × 104 ng/mL. High exposure levels of antibiotics were more likely to be found in individuals with a larger body mass index. The concentrations of six antibiotics were significantly different among people with different overall weekly eating frequencies, usually an upward trend. The estimated daily intakes of antibiotics were on the levels of 0.001-1.0 μg/kg/day, mainly contributed by clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin and oxytetracycline, indicating a potential health risk based on the microbiological effect. A significantly positive correlation was found between DNA oxidative damage and exposure for four categories of antibiotics, conformed by both Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. The levels of 8-OHdG were 355 %, 239 %, 234 %, and 334 % higher with elevated levels of phenicols, macrolides, tetracyclines and sulfonamides from quartiles 2 to 4. Our results suggest that high-frequency consumption of takeaways may exacerbate oxidative stress trends through human exposure to antibiotics.

Abstract
An untargeted Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based metabolomics approach was applied as a first attempt to explore the metabolome of pigs treated with antibiotics. The final goal was to investigate the possibility of discriminating between antibiotic-treated (TX group) and untreated pigs (CTRL group), with the further perspective of identifying the authentication tools for antibiotic-free pork supply chains. In particular, 41 samples of pig liver were subjected to a biphasic extraction to recover both the polar and the non-polar metabolites, and the 1H NMR spectroscopy analysis was performed on the two separate extracts. Unsupervised (principal component analysis) and supervised (orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis) multivariate statistical analysis of 1H NMR spectra data in the range 0-9 ppm provided metabolomic fingerprinting useful for the discrimination of pig livers based on the antibiotic treatment to which they were exposed. Moreover, within the signature patterns, significant discriminating metabolites were identified among carbohydrates, choline and derivatives, amino acids and some lipid-class molecules. The encouraging findings of this exploratory study showed the feasibility of the untargeted metabolomic approach as a novel strategy in the authentication framework of pork supply chains and open a new horizon for a more in-depth investigation.

Abstract
This work demonstrates that microbial fuel cells (MFCs), optimized for energy recovery, can be used as an effective tool to detect antibiotics in water-based environments. In MFCs, electroactive biofilms function as biocatalysts by converting the chemical energy of organic matter, which serves as the fuel, into electrical energy. The efficiency of the conversion process can be significantly affected by the presence of contaminants that act as toxicants to the biofilm. The present work demonstrates that MFCs can successfully detect antibiotic residues in water and water-based electrolytes containing complex carbon sources that may be associated with the food industry. Specifically, honey was selected as a model fuel to test the effectiveness of MFCs in detecting antibiotic contamination, and tetracycline was used as a reference antibiotic within this study. The results show that MFCs not only efficiently detect the presence of tetracycline in both acetate and honey-based electrolytes but also recover the same performance after each exposure cycle, proving to be a very robust and reliable technology for both biosensing and energy recovery.

Abstract
Leachate from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) incineration plants contains multiple antibiotics. However, current knowledge of antibiotics in such leachate is very limited compared to landfill leachate. In this study, the distribution, removal and ecological risks of 8 sulfonamides (SAs), 4 quinolones (FQs), and 4 macrolides (MLs) antibiotics in leachate from three MSW incineration plants in Shanghai were investigated. The results showed that 12 types of target antibiotics were detected at high concentrations (7737.3-13,758.7 ng/L) in the fresh leachate, exceeding the concentrations reported for landfill leachate. FQs were the dominant antibiotics detected in all three fresh leachates, accounting for >60 % of the total detected concentrations. The typical "anaerobic-anoxic/aerobic-anoxic/aerobic-ultrafiltration" treatment process removed the target antibiotics effectively (89.0 %-93.4 %), of which the anaerobic unit and the primary anoxic/aerobic unit were the most important antibiotic removal units. Biodegradation was considered to be the dominant removal mechanism, removing 78.11 %-92.37 % of antibiotics, whereas sludge adsorption only removed 1.02 %-10.89 %. Antibiotic removal was significantly correlated with leachate COD, pH, TN, and NH3-N, indicating that they may be influential factors for antibiotic removal. Ecological risk assessment revealed that ofloxacin (OFX) and enrofloxacin (EFX) in the treated leachate still posed high risks to algae and crustaceans. This research provides insights into the fate of antibiotics in leachate.

Abstract
Although veterinary antibiotics are essential in preventing and treating clinical diseases in cattle, the frequent use of antibiotics leads to antibiotic residues in milk and dairy products, consequently threatening human health. The massive milk consumption makes it necessary to assess antibiotic pollution and health impact comprehensively. Hence, we conducted a systematic review to evaluate antibiotics in milk and dairy products and their potential health risk. We searched four databases using multiple keyword combinations to retrieve 1582 pieces of literature and finally included eighteen articles to analyze antibiotic residues in milk and dairy products. These studies detected seven antibiotics in different regions of China. Quinolones and β-lactam antibiotics exceeded the MRL for raw and commercial milk. The maximum levels of sulfonamides and tetracyclines were detected in the same raw milk sample, exceeding the MRL. The estimated THQ and HI values in milk and dairy products are less than 1 for adults, indicating negligible noncarcinogenic health risk of antibiotics through consuming milk and dairy products. Children face higher health risks than adults, with the HI and THQ of quinolones exceeding 1. It is worth noting that quinolones accounted for nearly 89% of health risks associated with all antibiotics. Finally, we put forward possible research directions in the future, such as specific health effects of total dietary exposure to low levels of antibiotics. In addition, policymakers should effectively improve this problem from the perspectives of antibiotic use supervision, antibiotic residue analysis in food, and continuous environmental monitoring and control.

Abstract
With the improvement in sow prolificacy, formula feeding has been increasingly used in the pig industry. Diarrhea remains a serious health concern in formula-fed (FF) piglets. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an efficacious strategy to reshape gut microbiota and the metabolic profile for treating diarrhea. This study aims to investigate whether FMT from breast-fed piglets could alleviate diarrhea in FF piglets. The piglets were randomly assigned to the control (CON) group, FF group, and FMT group. Our results showed that FF piglets exhibited a higher diarrhea incidence, damaged colonic morphology, and disrupted barrier function. In contrast, FMT treatment normalized the morphology and barrier function. FMT suppressed the JNK/MAPK pathway and production of proinflammatory cytokines. Additionally, FF piglets had a lower abundance of the beneficial bacterial genus Bifidobacterium compared to CON piglets. Following FMT administration, Bifidobacterium was restored. Meanwhile, 5-HIAA, a metabolite of tryptophan, and AHR-responsive CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 were upregulated. Importantly, integrated multiomics analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between Bifidobacterium and 5-HIAA. In vitro, 5-HIAA supplementation reversed the LPS-induced disruption of tight junctions and production of proinflammatory cytokines in IPEC-J2 cells. In conclusion, FMT reduced diarrhea incidence and improved growth performance. The alleviative effect of FMT on diarrhea was associated with Bifidobacterium and 5-HIAA.

Abstract
Only few studies have assessed the health effects due to preconception exposure to antibiotics among childbearing couples. This study investigated the status of preconception exposure to antibiotics among childbearing couples in Anhui, associated with health risks, and influencing factors. Overall, 1500 childbearing couples were randomly selected from the Reproductive Health of Childbearing Couples - Anhui Cohort (RHCC-AC). The urinary levels of 40 antibiotics and 2 metabolites were determined, and specific gravity (SG) adjusted concentrations of antibiotics were measured to assess health risks. Generalized linear models were used to assess the associations of urinary SG-adjusted concentration of antibiotics with demographic parameters and diet frequency. The total detection rates of all antibiotics were 98.9 % and 99.3 % in wives and husbands, respectively. The detection rates of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) and preferred as VAs (PVAs) were above 90 %. Among eight antibiotics, sulfonamides (95.1 %) and fluoroquinolones (87.6 %) had the highest detection rates in couples. Approximately four-fifths of couples were simultaneously exposed to at least three different antibiotics, and more than half of them were exposed to low concentrations of antibiotics. 8.9 % and 9.2 % of wives and husbands had hazard index value of antibiotics exposure greater than 1. Antibiotic concentrations were associated with residence, sampling season, and diet frequency. In Anhui, nearly 98 % of childbearing couples have environmental exposure to antibiotics, and VAs and PVAs are the primary antibiotics. More than 8 % of couples had health risks due to antibiotic exposure. Several potential determinants of urinary antibiotics deserve more attention in future research.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which the early-life microbiota protects against environmental factors that promote childhood obesity remain largely unknown. Using a mouse model in which young mice are simultaneously exposed to antibiotics and a high-fat (HF) diet, we show that Lactobacillus species, predominant members of the small intestine (SI) microbiota, regulate intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) to limit diet-induced obesity during early life. A Lactobacillus-derived metabolite, phenyllactic acid (PLA), protects against metabolic dysfunction caused by early-life exposure to antibiotics and a HF diet by increasing the abundance of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) in SI IECs. Therefore, PLA is a microbiota-derived metabolite that activates protective pathways in the small intestinal epithelium to regulate intestinal lipid metabolism and prevent antibiotic-associated obesity during early life.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1277:341680. [PMID: 37604605 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341680] [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: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
Accurate and sensitive detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) in natural samples is essential for ensuring human health. Herein, an enzyme-regulated fluorescence sensor using Fe3O4@COF/Fe3+ probe, is developed for CAP determination. Fe3O4@COF, synthesized via hydrothermal method, exhibits dual functions as a magnetic carrier and signal probe. Bovine serum albumin conjugated-chloramphenicol, adsorbed on the surface of Fe3O4@COF, competes with CAP for antibody binding. The antibody interacts with alkaline phosphatase via the biotin-streptavidin system. Meanwhile, ascorbic acid, produced from the enzyme-catalyzed reaction dominated by alkaline phosphatase, effectively restores the fluorescence of Fe3O4@COF that is quenched by Fe3+. After experimental verification and gradual optimization, a logarithmic linear relationship between CAP concentration and fluorescence intensity is established in the range of 2 × 10-4∼10 μg mL-1, with a good limit of detection (9.2 × 10-5 μg mL-1). Proposed method exhibits excellent stability (15 days) and reusability (8 cycles), providing a sensitive and reliable method for accurate CAP detection. The readouts show good agreement with HPLC and recoveries during laboratory and natural CAP analysis.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132031. [PMID: 37467605 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
Molecularly imprinting on covalent organic frameworks (MI-COF) is a promising way to prepare selective adsorbents for effective extraction of fluoroquinolones (FQs). However, the unstable framework structure and complex imprinting process are challenging for the construction of MI-COF. Here, we report a facile surface imprinting approach with dopamine to generate imprinted cavities on the surface of irreversible COF for highly efficient extraction of FQs in food samples. The irreversible-linked COF was fabricated from hexahydroxytriphenylene and tetrafluorophthalonitrile to ensure COF stability. Moreover, the introduction of dopamine surface imprinted polymer into COF provides abundant imprinted sites and endows excellent selectivity for FQs recognition against other antibiotics. Taking enrofloxacin as a template molecule, the prepared MI-COF gave an exceptional adsorption capacity of 581 mg g-1, a 2.2-fold enhancement of adsorption capacity compared with nonimprinted COF. The MI-COF was further explored as adsorbent to develop a novel solid-phase extraction method coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography for the simultaneous determination of enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. The developed method gave the low limits of detection at 0.003-0.05 ng mL-1, high precision with relative standard deviations less than 3.5%. The recoveries of spiked FQs in food samples ranged from 80.4% to 110.7%.

Abstract
The presence of drug residues in food products has become a growing concern because of the adverse health risks and regulatory implications. Drug residues in food refer to the presence of pharmaceutical compounds or their metabolites in products such as meat, fish, eggs, poultry and ready-to-eat foods, which are intended for human consumption. These residues can come from the use of drugs in the field of veterinary medicine, such as antibiotics, antiparasitic agents, growth promoters and other veterinary drugs given to livestock and aquaculture with the aim of providing them as prophylaxis, therapy and for promoting growth. Various analytical techniques are used for this purpose to control the maximum residue limit. Compliance with the maximum residue limit is very important for food manufacturers according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Union (EU) regulations. Effective monitoring and control of drug residues in food requires continuous advances in analytical techniques. Few studies have been reviewed on sample extraction and preparation techniques as well as challenges and future directions for the determination of veterinary drug residues in food. This current review focuses on the overview of regulations, classifications and types of food, as well as the latest analytical methods that have been used in recent years (2020-2023) for the determination of drug residues in food so that appropriate methods and accurate results can be used. The results show that chromatography is still a widely used technique for the determination of drug residue in food. Other approaches have been developed including immunoassay, biosensors, electrophoresis and molecular-based methods. This review provides a new development method that has been used to control veterinary drug residue limit in food.

Abstract
Exposure to environmental organic pollutants has triggered significant ecological impacts and adverse health outcomes, which have been received substantial and increasing attention. The contribution of unidentified chemical components is considered as the most significant knowledge gap in understanding the combined effects of pollutant mixtures. To address this issue, remarkable analytical breakthroughs have recently been made. In this review, the basic principles on recognition of environmental organic pollutants are overviewed. Complementary analytical methodologies (i.e., quantitative structure-activity relationship prediction, mass spectrometric nontarget screening, and effect-directed analysis) and experimental platforms are briefly described. The stages of technique development and/or essential parts of the analytical workflow for each of the methodologies are then reviewed. Finally, plausible technique paths and applications of the future nontarget screening methods, interdisciplinary techniques for achieving toxicant identification, and burgeoning strategies on risk assessment of chemical cocktails are discussed.

Abstract
Cell-free biosensors have inspired low-cost and field-applicable methods to detect antibiotic contaminants. However, the satisfactory sensitivity of current cell-free biosensors is mostly achieved by sacrificing the rapidity, which prolongs turnaround time by hours. Additionally, the software-based result interpretation provides an obstacle for delivering these biosensors to untrained individuals. Here, we present a bioluminescence-based cell-free biosensor, termed enhanced Bioluminescence sensing of Ligand-Unleashed RNA Expression (eBLUE). The eBLUE leveraged antibiotic-responsive transcription factors to regulate the transcription of RNA arrays that can serve as scaffolds for reassembling and activating multiple luciferase fragments. This process converted target recognition into an amplified bioluminescence response, enabling smartphone-based quantification of tetracycline and erythromycin directly in milk within 15 min. Moreover, the detection threshold of eBLUE can be easily tuned according to the maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by government agencies. Owing to this tunable nature, the eBLUE was further repurposed as an on-demand semi-quantification platform, allowing for fast (∼20 min) and software-free identification of safe and MRL-exceeding milk samples only by glancing over the smartphone photographs. Overall, the sensitivity, rapidity and user-friendliness of eBLUE demonstrate its potentials for practical applications, especially in resource-limited and household settings.

Abstract
The microbial contamination of food poses a threat to human health. Chestnut shells, which are byproducts of chestnut processing, contain polyphenols that exert various physiological effects, and thus have the potential to be used in food preservation. This study investigates the bacteriostatic effect and mechanism(s) of the action of chestnut shell polyphenols (CSPs) on three food-spoilage bacteria, namely Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fragi, and Escherichia coli. To this end, the effect of CSPs on the ultrastructure of each bacterium was determined using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, gene expression was analyzed using RT-qPCR. Subsequent molecular docking analysis was employed to elucidate the mechanism of action employed by CSPs via the inhibition of key enzymes. Ultrastructure analysis showed that CSPs damaged the bacterial cell wall and increased permeability. At 0.313 mg/mL, CSPs significantly increased the activity of alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as protein leakage (p < 0.05), whereas the activity of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes, isocitrate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, were inhibited (p < 0.05). The expression levels of the TCA-related genes gltA, icd, sucA, atpA, citA, odhA, IS178_RS16090, and IS178_RS16290 are also significantly downregulated by CSP treatment (p < 0.05). Moreover, CSPs inhibit respiration and energy metabolism, including ATPase activity and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis (p < 0.05). Molecular docking determined that proanthocyanidins B1 and C1, the main components of CSPs, are responsible for the antibacterial activity. Therefore, as natural antibacterial substances, CSPs have considerable potential for development and application as natural food preservatives.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1270:341396. [PMID: 37311607 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
A novel photocatalyzed Zn-air battery-driven (ZAB)-based aptasensor has been manufactured using the two dimensional (2D)/2D Schottky heterojunction as photocathode and Zn plate as photoanode. It was then employed to sensitively and selectively detect penicillin G (PG) in the complex environment. The 2D/2D Schottky heterojunction was established by the in situ growth of cadmium-doped molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (Cd-MoS2 NSs) around Ti3C2Tx NSs (denoted as Cd-MoS2@Ti3C2Tx) by using phosphomolybdic acid (PMo12) as precursor, thioacetamide as sulfur source, and Cd(NO3)2 as a doping agent through the hydrothermal method. The gained Cd-MoS2@Ti3C2Tx heterojunction possessed contact interface, hierarchical structure, and plenty of sulfur and oxygen vacancies, thus showing the enhanced separation ability of photocarriers and electron transfer. Due to the enhanced UV-vis light adsorption ability, high photoelectric conversion efficiency, and exposed catalytic active sites, the constructed photocatalyzed ZAB displayed a boosted output voltage of 1.43 V under UV-vis light irradiation. The developed ZAB-driven self-powered aptasensor demonstrated an ultralow detection limit of 0.06 fg mL-1 within a PG concentration ranged from 1.0 fg mL-1 to 0.1 ng mL-1, as deduced from the power density-current curves, along with high specificity, good stability and promising reproducibility, as well as excellent regeneration ability and wide applicability. The present work provided an alternative analysis method for the sensitive analysis of antibiotics based on the portable photocatalyzed ZAB-driven self-powered aptasensor.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoprobes show similar fluorescence properties to traditional organic dyes, but the addition of nanotechnology accurately controls the size, shape, chemical composition, and surface chemistry of the nanoprobes with unique characteristics and properties, such as bright luminescence, high photostability, and strong biocompatibility. For example, modifying aptamers or antibodies on a fluorescent nanoprobe provides high selectivity and specificity for different objects to be tested. Fluorescence intensity, life, and other parameters of targets can be changed by different sensing mechanisms based on the unique structural and optical characteristics of fluorescent nanoprobes. What's more, the detection of fluorescent nanoprobes is cost-saving, simple, and offers great advantages in rapid food detection. Sensing mechanisms of fluorescent nanoprobes were introduced in this paper, focusing on the application progress in pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, heavy metals, microbes, mycotoxins, and other substances in food safety detection in recent years. A brief outlook for future development was provided as well.

Abstract
Veterinary pharmaceuticals have been recently recognized as newly emerging environmental contaminants. Indeed, because of their uncontrolled or overused disposal, we are now facing undesirable amounts of these constituents in foodstuff and its related human health concerns. In this context, developing a well-organized environmental and foodstuff screening toward antibiotic levels is of paramount importance to ensure the safety of food products as well as human health. In this case, with the development and progress of electric/photo detecting, nanomaterials, and nucleic acid aptamer technology, their incorporation-driven evolving electrochemiluminescence aptasensing strategy has presented the hopeful potentials in identifying the residual amounts of different antibiotics toward sensitivity, economy, and practicality. In this context, we reviewed the up-to-date development of ECL aptasensors with aptamers as recognition elements and nanomaterials as the active elements for quantitative sensing the residual antibiotics in foodstuff and agriculture-related matrices, dissected the unavoidable challenges, and debated the upcoming prospects.

Abstract
The construction of effective methods for the convenient testing of antibiotic residues in real samples has attracted considerable interest. Herein, we designed a dual cascade DNA walking amplification strategy and combined it with the controllable photocurrent regulation of a photoelectrode to develop a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing method for antibiotic detection. The photoelectrode was prepared through the surface modification of a glassy carbon electrode with the TiO2/CdS QDs nanocomposite synthesized by an in situ hydrothermal deposition method. The strong anodic PEC response of the nanocomposite could be well inhibited by the introduction of a silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs)-labeled DNA hairpin onto its surface. Upon the target biorecognition reaction, an Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme (MNAzyme)-driven DNA walking was triggered to release another MNAzyme strand-linked streptavidin (SA) complex. As this SA complex could serve as a four-legged DNA walker, its cascade walking on the electrode surface not only released Ag NCs but also caused the linking of Rhodamine 123 with the electrode to realize the "super on" photocurrent output. By using kanamycin as the model analyte, this method showed a very wide linear range from 10 fg mL-1 to 1 ng mL-1 and a very low detection limit of 0.53 fg mL-1. Meanwhile, the simple photoelectrode preparation and the aptamer recognition-based autonomous DNA walking resulted in the convenient manipulation and excellent repeatability. These unique performances determine the great potential of the proposed method for practical applications.

Immunological effects of recombinant Lactobacillus casei expressing pilin MshB fused with cholera toxin B subunit adjuvant as an oral vaccine against Aeromonas veronii infection in crucian carp.

Abstract
Aeromonas veronii is a zoonotic agent capable of infecting fish and mammals, including humans, posing a serious threat to the development of aquaculture and public health safety. Currently, few effective vaccines are available through convenient routes against A. veronii infection. Herein, we developed vaccine candidates by inserting MSH type VI pili B (MshB) from A. veronii as an antigen and cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) as a molecular adjuvant into Lactobacillus casei and evaluated their immunological effect as vaccines in a crucian carp (Carassius auratus) model. The results suggested that recombinant L. casei Lc-pPG-MshB and Lc-pPG-MshB-CTB can be stably inherited for more than 50 generations. Oral administration of recombinant L. casei vaccine candidates stimulated the production of high levels of serum-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) and increased the activity of acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP) superoxide dismutase (SOD), lysozyme (LZM), complement 3 (C3) and C4 in crucian carp (carassius auratus) compared to the control group (Lc-pPG612 group and PBS group) without significant changes. Moreover, the expression levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) genes in the gills, liver, spleen, kidney and gut of crucian carp orally immunized with recombinant L. casei were significantly upregulated compared to the control groups, indicating that recombinant L. casei induced a significant cellular immune response. In addition, viable recombinant L. casei can be detected and stably colonized in the intestine tract of crucian carp. Particularly, crucian carp immunized orally with Lc-pPG-MshB and Lc-pPG-MshB-CTB exhibited higher survival rates (48% for Lc-pPG-MshB and 60% for Lc-pPG-MshB-CTB) and significantly reduced loads of A. veronii in the major immune organs after A. veronii challenge. Our findings indicated that both recombinant L. casei strains provide favorable immune protection, with Lc-pPG-MshB-CTB in particular being more effective and promising as an ideal candidate for oral vaccination.

Abstract
A novel Zn@MGeo sorbent was easily constructed and can bind with FQs through the synergistic effect of electrostatic interaction and coordination. With the Zn@MGeo as sorbent, a MSPE-UHPLC-MS/MS method was established for simultaneous detection of FQs in complex matrices. The whole extraction process could be completed using 6.0 mg sorbent within 10 min under the optimal conditions. The established quantitative method obtained a wide linear range (0.01-200 μg/kg, R2 > 0.9987), high sensitivity (LODs: 0.005-0.05 μg/kg) and negligible matrix effect. The method was applied for analysis of real samples, with recoveries between 75.6% and 103.7%. In addition, the sorbent could be reused at least 9 times without reducing the adsorption performance. In general, the established method not only proposes a novel sorbent for FQs extraction, but also provides a powerful tool for rapid and sensitive detection of FQs in food matrices with practical application value.

Abstract
An optimized QuEChERS method for the simultaneous extraction of 26 antibiotics and 19 anthelmintics in whole cow milk was established, followed by UHPLC-MS/MS analysis. Briefly, 20 mL acetonitrile with 1 g disodium hydrogen citrate, 2 g sodium citrate, 4 g anhydrous MgSO4, and 1 g sodium chloride were added to 10 g milk for target chemical extraction, followed by 50 mg anhydrous MgSO4 for purification. Satisfactory recoveries were obtained using the modified QuEChERS method, with recoveries of the antibiotics ranging from 79.7 to 117.2%, with the exception of norfloxacin, which was at 53.4%, while those for anthelmintics were in the range of 73.1-105.1%. The optimized QuEChERS method presented good precision, with relative standard deviations ranging from 7.2 to 18.6% for both antibiotics and anthelmintics. The method was successfully applied to analyze the antibiotics and anthelmintics in 56 whole cow milk samples from China. Briefly, the detection frequencies and concentrations of most of the antibiotics and anthelmintics were low in the whole cow milk samples, with concentrations ranging from below LOD to 4296.8 ng/kg. Fenbendazole, febantel, enrofloxacin, levofloxacin, sulfadiazine, and sulfamethoxazole were the predominant drug residues in the whole cow milk samples. Spatial distribution was found for those antibiotics and anthelmintics with detection frequency higher than 50%, especially for the antibiotics, indicating regional differences in drug application. Based on the current study, exposure to antibiotics and anthelmintics through whole cow milk consumption are lower than the acceptable daily intake values suggested by the China Institute of Veterinary Drug Control. However, long-term exposure to low doses of antibiotics and anthelmintics still needs attention and merits further study.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotic residues in water is linked to the emergence of antibiotic resistance globally and necessitates novel decontamination strategies to minimize antibiotic residue exposure in both the environment and food. A holistic assessment of cold atmospheric pressure plasma technology (CAPP) for β-lactam antibiotic residue removal is described in this study. CAPP operating parameters including plasma jet voltage, gas composition and treatment time were optimized, with highest β-lactam degradation efficiencies obtained for a helium jet operated at 6 kV. Main by-products detected indicate pH-driven peroxidation as a main mechanism of CAPP-induced decomposition of β-lactams. No in vitro hepatocytotoxicity was observed in HepG2 cells following exposure to treated samples, and E. coli exposed to CAPP-degraded β-lactams did not exhibit resistance development. In surface water, over 50% decrease in antibiotic levels was achieved after only 5 min of treatment. However, high dependence of treatment efficiency on residue concentration, pH and presence of polar macromolecules was observed.

Abstract
Large-scale mortality due to Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) infection has considerably decreased the yield of the Chinese pond turtle (Mauremys reevesii). Purslane is a naturally active substance with a wide range of pharmacological functions, but its antibacterial effect on Chinese pond turtles infected by A. hydrophila infection is still unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of purslane on intestinal morphology, digestion activity, and microbiome of Chinese pond turtles during A. hydrophila infection. The results showed that purslane promoted epidermal neogenesis of the limbs and increased the survival and feeding rates of Chinese pond turtles during A. hydrophila infection. Histopathological observation and enzyme activity assay indicated that purslane improved the intestinal morphology and digestive enzyme (α-amylase, lipase and pepsin) activities of Chinese pond turtle during A. hydrophila infection. Microbiome analysis revealed that purslane increased the diversity of intestinal microbiota with a significant decrease in the proportion of potentially pathogenic bacteria (such as Citrobacter freundii, Eimeria praecox, and Salmonella enterica) and an increase in the abundance of probiotics (such as uncultured Lactobacillus). In conclusion, our study uncovers that purslane improves intestinal health to protect Chinese pond turtles against A. hydrophila infection.

Wang Y, Dong X, Zang J, Zhao X, Jiang F, Jiang L, Xiong C, Wang N, Fu C. Antibiotic residues of drinking-water and its human exposure risk assessment in rural Eastern China. WATER RESEARCH 2023; 236:119940. [PMID: 37080106 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Trace levels of antibiotics were frequently found in drinking-water, leading a growing concern that drinking-water is an important exposure source to antibiotics in humans. In this study, we investigated antibiotics in tap water and well water in two rural residential areas in Eastern China to assess the related human health exposure risks in drinking-water. Twenty-seven antibiotics were analyzed using ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The average daily dose (ADD) and the health risk quotient (HRQ) for exposure to antibiotics in humans were evaluated using 10000 times of Monte Carlo simulations. Ten antibiotics were detected in drinking-water samples, with the maximum concentrations of antibiotic mixture of 8.29 ng/L in tap water and 2.95 ng/L in well water, respectively. Macrolides and sulfonamides were the predominant contaminants and showed the seasonality. Azithromycin had the highest detection frequencies (79.71-100%), followed by roxithromycin (25.71-100%) and erythromycin (21.43-86.96%). The estimated ADD and HRQ for human exposure to antibiotic mixture through drinking-water was less than 0.01 μg/kg/day and 0.01, respectively, which varied over sites, water types, seasons and sex. Ingestion route was more important than dermal contact route (10-6 to 10-4 μg/kg/day magnitude vs. 10-11 to 10-8 μg/kg/day magnitude). Macrolides also contributed mainly to health exposure risks to antibiotics through drinking-water, whose HRQ accounted for 46% to 67% of the total HRQs. Although the individual antibiotic and their combined effects contributed to acceptable health risks for human, the long-term exposure patterns to low-dose antibiotics in drinking-water should not be ignored.

Abstract
Introduction The increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics has obliged the EU Member States to reduce by 50% the use of antibiotics in animal production by 2030. This study was undertaken with the aim to analyse the use of antibiotics in flocks of broiler turkeys reared in the Warmia and Mazury province in a two-year period. Material and Methods From data from 238 production records of turkey flocks provided by the County Veterinary Inspectorates, the use of antibiotics (mg/kg) was analysed in turkey flocks reared in 2019-2021. The data provided the year of rearing, turkey sex and immunoprophylactic measures. Results A significant decrease in antimicrobial use was reported in the male turkey flocks in 2021 (157 mg/kg body weight) in comparison to 2020 (241 mg) and 2019 (299 mg). In both male and female turkeys, the use of antimicrobials gradually decreased from 2019 to 2021. Significantly lower antibiotic use was reported in turkey flocks using autogenous vaccines. Conclusion The positive trend shown in this study proves the possibility of meeting the EU recommendations for 50% reduction in the use of antibiotics in animal production by 2030. More emphasis should be placed on minimising the risk of infectious diseases requiring antibiotic therapy with welfare, biosecurity, immunomodulation and specific prophylaxis measures.

Abstract
Leachate generated during the treatment and disposal of municipal solid wastes (MSWs) can be an important source of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment. With the implementation of garbage classification policy in China, the disposal methods of MSWs have changed, while its impacts on the occurrence of PPCPs in the generated leachate remain unknown. In this study, we investigated 49 target PPCPs in the leachates of classified MSWs, i.e. residual waste leachate (RWL) and food waste leachate (FWL), and revealed the influence of garbage classification implementation on the occurrence of PPCPs in leachates to be treated. The results showed the concentration and mass load of target PPCPs in the RWL samples (median values: 34.9 ng/L and 52.3 mg/d, respectively) were significantly higher than those in the FWL samples (median values: 19.3 ng/L and 14.5 mg/d, respectively). Macrolide (ML) antibiotics were the predominant PPCPs in the RWL samples, while in the FWL samples, quinolone (QL) antibiotics exhibited the highest concentration and mass load. The implementation of garbage classification policy led to the reduction of PPCP mass load (from 739 g/d to 262 g/d) in leachates to be treated. The findings are helpful for better designing or managing MSW treatment and disposal processes to minimize the emission of PPCPs from MSW leachates.

Abstract
Tibetan people are one Chinese ethnic minority living in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with an average altitude of more than 4500 m. High altitude could cause a different antibiotic exposure, but relevant information is limited in Tibetan people. We investigated 476 Tibetan pregnant women in Lhasa, Tibet in 2021 and measured 30 antibiotics from five categories in urine, including 13 veterinary antibiotics (VAs), five human antibiotics (HAs), and 12 human/veterinary antibiotics (H/VAs). Food consumption was investigated by a brief food frequency questionnaire. Health risk was assessed by hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) based on acceptable daily intakes (ADIs). All antibiotics were overall detected in 34.7% of urine samples with the 75th percentile concentration of 0.19 ng/mL (0.35 μg/g creatinine). HAs, VAs, and H/VAs were respectively detected in 5.3%, 13.0%, and 25.0% of urine samples, with the 95th percentiles of 0.01 ng/mL (0.01 μg/g creatinine), 0.50 ng/mL (0.99 μg/g creatinine), and 3.58 ng/mL (5.02 μg/g creatinine), respectively. Maternal age, smoking of family members, and housework time were associated with detection frequencies of HAs, VAs, or sum of all antibiotics. Pregnant women with a more frequent consumption of fresh milk, egg, yoghourt, poultry meat, and fish had a higher detection frequency of VAs or H/VAs. Only ciprofloxacin and tetracycline had a HQ of larger than one based on microbiological effect in 1.26% and 0.21% of pregnant women, respectively and a HI of larger than one was found in 1.47% of pregnant women. The findings suggested that there was an evident antibiotic exposure from various sources in Tibetan pregnant women with some basic characteristics of pregnant women as potential predictors and several animal-derived food items were important sources of exposure to antibiotic with a fraction of pregnant women in the health risk related to microbiological disruption of gut microbiota.

Abstract
Escherichia coli is one of the most common pathogenic bacteria in diarrheal chickens, leading to serious economic losses in the poultry industry. The limited effect of antibiotics on antibiotic-resistant E. coli makes this bacterium a potential threat to human health. Yujin powder (YJP) has been reported as an agent that releases the symptoms caused by E. coli for a long time. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Yujin powder (YJP) and its components, Scutellariae Radix (SR) and Baicalin (Bac), anti-against multi-drug-resistant E. coli in vitro and in vivo. A multi-drug-resistant bacteria was isolated and identified from a clinical diarrheal chick. Then, the anti-bacterial effects of drugs were assessed in vitro and in vivo by analyzing the bacteria loads of organs, the levels of endotoxin, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 of the serum. Results found that the pathogenic E. coli was resistant to 19 tested antibiotics. YJP, SR, and Bac could directly inhibit the growth of this strain at high concentrations in vitro, and presents obvious anti-bacterial effects by reducing the bacterial loads, the release of endotoxin, and inflammation in vivo, which was much more effective than the resistant antibiotic ciprofloxacin. This study demonstrates that those natural medicines have the potential to be used as novel treatments to treat the disease caused by this isolated MDREC strain.

Abstract
Environmental pollutants can accumulate in the human body through the food chain, which may seriously impact human health. Therefore, it is of vital importance to develop quick, simple, accurate and sensitive (respond quickly) technologies to evaluate the concentration of environmental pollutants in food. Quantum dots (QDs)-based fluorescence detection methods have great potential to overcome the shortcomings of traditional detection methods, such as long detection time, cumbersome detection procedures, and low sensitivity. This paper reviews the types and synthesis methods of QDs with a focus on green synthesis and the research progress on rapid detection of environmental pollutants (e.g., heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics) in food. Metal-based QDs, carbon-based QDs, and "top-down" and "bottom-up" synthesis methods are discussed in detail. In addition, research progress of QDs in detecting different environmental pollutants in food is discussed, especially, the practical application of these methods is analyzed. Finally, current challenges and future research directions of QDs-based detection technologies are critically discussed. Hydrothermal synthesis of carbon-based QDs with low toxicity from natural materials has a promising future. Research is needed on green synthesis of QDs, direct detection without pre-processing, and simultaneous detection of multiple contaminants. Finally, how to keep the mobile sensor stable, sensitive and easy to store is a hot topic in the future.

Abstract
A colorimetric method based on in-situ generation of gold nanoflowers for the detection of tetracyclines (TCs) was proposed. We found that gold nanoflowers could be formed in the HAuCl4-NH2OH redox reaction directly without the addition of small-sized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as seeds when an alkaline borax buffer solution was employed as the reaction medium. Interestingly, the shape and size of the generated gold nanoflowers were regulated with TC. Briefly, large flower-like gold nanoparticles were formed with a low concentration of TC while small spherical gold nanoparticles were generated with a high concentration of TC. The generated gold nanoflowers exhibited different surface plasmon absorption (SPR) properties. Thus, a simple and rapid colorimetric method was established for the detection of TC antibiotics. This method exhibited high sensitivity for the detection of TC, oxytetracycline (OTC), and doxycycline (DC) with detection limits of 2.23 nM, 1.19 nM, and 5.81 nM, respectively. The proposed colorimetric method was applied to the determination of TC in both milk samples and water samples.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues in food of animal origin is a great concern for public health worldwide in terms of antibiotic resistance development, potential allergic reactions and disruption of intestinal flora equilibrium. In this study the presence of antibiotic residues in raw bovine milk samples collected from farms located in Lombardy region in Italy from 2018 to 2022 was assessed in the context of the national milk quality payment system. Samples were screened with microbiological growth inhibition test Delvotest ® SP NT and a very low positivity rate ranging from 0.1% to 0.07% over the four years was determined. A total of 79 positive samples were further analysed by LC-HRMS screening technique to confirm positivity and detect the specific antibiotic compound contaminating the sample. The β-lactam antibiotics resulted to be the most frequently detected, with the penicillin G being the most abundant compound. The data suggested that low levels of antibiotic contamination are consistently maintained over the last four years and the integration of the techniques used in this study is a valuable tool for a deep and precise monitoring of antibiotic residues in milk.

Abstract
Antibiotics are used to control certain bacterial diseases in plant agriculture. Understanding antibiotic uptake by edible vegetables after application and associated risks on plant microbiome and human health is critical. In this study, oxytetracycline and streptomycin, the two most commonly used antibiotics in plant agriculture, were applied to cherry radish via continuous soil drenching to study their translocations into plant tissues, influence on radish microbiome, and the potential health risk to mice. The results demonstrated that oxytetracycline induced hormesis in radish plants and both antibiotics were translocated into the leaves, fruits, and roots of radishes from the soil, with significantly higher plant uptake of streptomycin than oxytetracycline. Interestingly, the proportion of culturable oxytetracycline or streptomycin-resistant bacteria in the antibiotic-accumulated radish tissues was significantly higher than that in the antibiotic-free radish tissues, although both bacterial and fungal communities in different radish tissues were not affected by the accumulated antibiotics, demonstrating that antibiotic application could enrich antibiotic resistance in the plant microbiome. Feeding mice with antibiotics-accumulated radish tissues did not show significant effects on the weight and blood glucose levels of mice. Overall, this study provides important insights into the risk of using antibiotics in plant agriculture.

Abstract
The prevalence and spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria pose a global challenge to public health. Natural transformation is one of the essential ways for horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Although disinfectants are frequently used during COVID-19, little is known about whether these disinfectants are associated with the transformation of plasmid-borne ARGs. In our study, we assessed the effect of some disinfectants on bacterial transformation using resistance plasmids as extracellular DNA and E. coli DH5α as the recipient bacteria. The results showed that these disinfectants at environmentally relevant concentrations, including benzalkonium bromide (BB), benzalkonium chloride (BC) and polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHMG), significantly enhanced the transformation of plasmid-encoded ARGs. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the promotive effect of disinfectants on transformation. We revealed that the addition of disinfectants significantly increased the membrane permeability and promoted membrane-related genes expression. Moreover, disinfectants led to the boosted bacterial respiration, ATP production and flagellum motility, as well as increased expression of bacterial secretion system-related genes. Together, our findings shed insights into the spread of ARGs through bacterial transformation and indicate potential risks associated with the widespread use of disinfectants.

Antibiotic Resistance and Food Safety: Perspectives on New Technologies and Molecules for Microbial Control in the Food Industry. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:antibiotics12030550. [PMID: 36978417 PMCID: PMC10044663 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12030550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) has direct and indirect repercussions on public health and threatens to decrease the therapeutic effect of antibiotic treatments and lead to more infection-related deaths. There are several mechanisms by which ABR can be transferred from one microorganism to another. The risk of transfer is often related to environmental factors. The food supply chain offers conditions where ABR gene transfer can occur by multiple pathways, which generates concerns regarding food safety. This work reviews mechanisms involved in ABR gene transfer, potential transmission routes in the food supply chain, the prevalence of antibiotic residues in food and ABR organisms in processing lines and final products, and implications for public health. Finally, the paper will elaborate on the application of antimicrobial peptides as new alternatives to antibiotics that might countermeasure ABR and is compatible with current food trends.

Influence of habitats and physicochemical factors on trophic transfer processes of antibiotics in a freshwater ecosystem: Application of stable isotopes and human health risks. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 863:160765. [PMID: 36513226 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.160765] [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: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Habitats of species and physicochemical factors are of great importance in determining the trophic transfer of contaminants in freshwater ecosystems. There is little information on how multiple physicochemical factors and habitats influence the trophic transfer of antibiotics in freshwater food webs. This study investigated the concentrations of 7 sulfonamides (SAs), 4 fluoroquinolones (FQs), 4 tetracyclines (TCs) and 2 macrolides (MLs) in the Lake Dianshan food web. Stable isotope analysis (SIA), and mathematical models were used to assign trophic levels and distinguish between the benthic food web (BFW) and pelagic food web (PFW). Values of stable nitrogen isotope (δ15N‰) and stable carbon isotope (δ13C‰) ranged from 10.2 ± 0.11 to 19.72 ± 0.05 and -33.67 ± 0.18 to -20.79 ± 0.50, respectively. Total concentrations of antibiotics ranged from 36.63 ± 12.73 ng/g dry weight (dw) to 105.85 ± 12.95 ng/g dw for all species. The relative abundance of antibiotics was in the following order: ∑FQs (36.49 %) > ∑SAs (26.70 %), >∑MLs (12.63 %) for all biotas. Trophic magnification factor (TMFs) values for individual antibiotics ranged from 0.10 to 1.20 and 0.31 to 1.82 for PFW and BFW, respectively. Three classes of antibiotics ∑FQs (p < 0.05), ∑TCs (p < 0.05), and ∑MLs (p < 0.05) showed significant trophic dilution in PFW, opposite to non-significant trophic dilution in BFW. The influence of various physicochemical factors was not strong over trophic transfer (e.g., octanol-water partition coefficient-LogKow (r = -0.05 in PFW, r = -0.14 in BFW) and distribution coefficient-LogD (r = 0.06 in PWF, r = -0.28 in BFW)) except for aqueous solubility (LogS). Results indicated a significantly higher trophic dilution of antibiotics in the PFW than in the BFW. Among the studied six physicochemical factors, only LogS significantly influences (p < 0.05) the trophic transfer of antibiotics in the freshwater food web. Health risk assessments indicated that currently, there were no serious risks present for urban and rural populations.

Comparison of conventional and dispersive solid phase extraction clean-up approaches for the simultaneous analysis of tetracyclines and sulfonamides in a variety of fresh vegetables. Talanta 2023; 254:124192.

Abstract
The extensive use of antibiotics in agriculture has led to the occurrence of residual drugs in different vegetables frequently consumed by humans. This could pose a potential threat to human health, not only because of the possible effects after ingestion but also because the transmission of antibiotic-resistant genes could occur. In this work, two accurate sample preparation procedures were developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of sulfonamides (SAs) and tetracyclines (TCs) in four of the most widely consumed vegetables (lettuce, onion, tomato, and carrot) in Europe. The evaluated protocols were based on QuECHERS for extraction and subsequent clean-up by SPE (solid phase extraction) or dispersive SPE. Parameters affecting both extraction and clean-up were carefully evaluated and selected for accuracy of results and minimal matrix effect. Overall, apparent recoveries were above 70% for most of the target analytes with both analytical procedures, and adequate precision (RSD<30%) was obtained for all the matrices. The procedural limits of quantification (LOQPRO) values for SPE clean-up remained below 4.4 μg kg-1 for TCs in all vegetables except for chlortetracycline (CTC) in lettuce (11.3 μg kg-1) and 3.0 μg kg-1 for SAs, with the exception of sulfadiazine (SDZ) in onion (3.9 μg kg-1) and sulfathiazole (STZ) in carrot (5.0 μg kg-1). Lower LOQPRO values (0.1-3.7 μg kg-1) were obtained, in general, when dSPE clean-up was employed. Both methods were applied to twenty-five market vegetable samples from ecological and conventional agriculture and only sulfamethazine (SMZ) and sulfapyridine (SPD) were detected in lettuce at 1.2 μg kg-1 and 0.5 μg kg-1, respectively.

Abstract
Chronic respiratory disease (CRD) caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) in chickens leads to enormous economic damage to the poultry industry yearly. The active components and mechanism of action of the traditional herbal remedy Ephedra houttuynia powder (EHP), which had been approved for clinical treatment against MG infection in China, remain unknown. In this study, the active components of EHP against MG were screened using a network pharmacological method, additionally, we studied the mechanism of action of the screened results (quercetin (QUE)). The findings demonstrated that QUE was an essential element of EHP against MG infection, effectively attenuating MG-induced oxidative stress and activation of the TLR2/MyD88/NF-κB pathway. Following QUE therapy, IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α content and expression were downregulated, whereas IL-4 and IL-10 expression were upregulated, eventually suppressing the inflammatory response both in vitro and in vivo. Together, this study presents a strong rationale for using QUE as a therapeutic strategy to inhibit MG infection-induced inflammatory damage and oxidative stress.

Abstract
The presence of residual antibiotics in food is increasingly emerging as a worrying risk for human health both for the possible direct toxicity and for the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In the context of food safety, new methods based on microfluidics could offer better performance, providing improved rapidity, portability and sustainability, being more cost effective and easy to use. Here, a microfluidic method based on the use of magnetic microbeads specifically functionalized and inserted in polymeric microchambers is proposed. The microbeads are functionalized either with aptamers, antibodies or small functional groups able to interact with specific antibiotics. The setup of these different strategies as well as the performance of the different functionalizations are carefully evaluated and compared. The most promising results are obtained employing the functionalization with aptamers, which are able not only to capture and release almost all tetracycline present in the initial sample but also to deliver an enriched and simplified solution of antibiotic. These solutions of purified antibiotics are particularly suitable for further analyses, for example, with innovative methods, such as label-free detection. On the contrary, the on-chip process based on antibodies could capture only partially the antibiotics, as well as the protocol based on beads functionalized with small groups specific for sulfonamides. Therefore, the on-chip purification with aptamers combined with new portable detection systems opens new possibilities for the development of sensors in the field of food safety.

Abstract
Antimicrobial contamination and antimicrobial resistance have become global environmental and health problems. A large number of antimicrobials are used in medical and animal husbandry, leading to the continuous release of residual antimicrobials into the environment. It not only causes ecological harm, but also promotes the occurrence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. The role of environmental factors in antimicrobial contamination and the spread of antimicrobial resistance is often overlooked. There are a large number of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes in human beings, which increases the likelihood that pathogenic bacteria acquire resistance, and also adds opportunities for human contact with antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. In this paper, we review the fate of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance in the environment, including the occurrence, spread, and impact on ecological and human health. More importantly, this review emphasizes a number of environmental factors that can exacerbate antimicrobial contamination and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. In the future, the timely removal of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance genes in the environment will be more effective in alleviating antimicrobial contamination and antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
Poultry farming is one of the most efficient animal husbandry methods and it provides nutritional security to a significant number of the world population. Using modern intensive farming techniques, global production has reached 133.4 mil. t in 2020, with a steady growth each year. Such intensive growth methods however lead to a significant environmental footprint. Waste materials such as poultry litter and manure can pose a serious threat to environmental and human health, and need to be managed properly. Poultry production and waste by-products are linked to NH3, N2O and CH4 emissions, and have an impact on global greenhouse gas emissions, as well as animal and human health. Litter and manure can contain pesticide residues, microorganisms, pathogens, pharmaceuticals (antibiotics), hormones, metals, macronutrients (at improper ratios) and other pollutants which can lead to air, soil and water contamination as well as formation of antimicrobial/multidrug resistant strains of pathogens. Dust emitted from intensive poultry production operations contains feather and skin fragments, faeces, feed particles, microorganisms and other pollutants, which can adversely impact poultry health as well as the health of farm workers and nearby inhabitants. Fastidious odours are another problem that can have an adverse impact on health and quality of life of workers and surrounding population. This study discusses the current knowledge on the impact of intensive poultry farming on environmental and human health, as well as taking a look at solutions for a sustainable future.

[PMID: 36830600 PMCID: PMC9953135 DOI: 10.3390/biom13020231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Pastures have become one of the most important sources of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pollution, bringing risks to human health through the environment and the food that is grown there. Another significant source of food production is greenhouse horticulture, which is typically located near pastures. Through waterways, pasture-originated ARGs may transfer to the food in greenhouses. However, how these pasture-originated ARGs spread to nearby waterways and greenhouses has been much less investigated, while this may pose risks to humans through agricultural products. We analyzed 29 ARGs related to the most used antibiotics in livestock in the Netherlands at 16 locations in an agricultural area, representing pastures, greenhouses and lakes. We found that ARGs were prevalent in all surface waters surrounding pastures and greenhouses and showed a similar composition, with sulfonamide ARGs being dominant. This indicates that both pastures and greenhouses cause antibiotic resistance pressures on neighboring waters. However, lower pressures were found in relatively larger and isolated lakes, suggesting that a larger water body or a non-agricultural green buffer zone could help reducing ARG impacts from agricultural areas. We also observed a positive relationship between the concentrations of the class 1 integron (intl1 gene)-used as a proxy for horizontal gene transfer-and ARG concentration and composition. This supports that horizontal gene transfer might play a role in dispersing ARGs through landscapes. In contrast, none of the measured four abiotic factors (phosphate, nitrate, pH and dissolved oxygen) showed any impact on ARG concentrations. ARGs from different classes co-occurred, suggesting simultaneous use of different antibiotics. Our findings help to understand the spatial patterns of ARGs, specifically the impacts of ARGs from pastures and greenhouses on each other and on nearby waterways. In this way, this study guides management aiming at reducing ARGs' risk to human health from agricultural products.

Abstract
In consideration of relevance of antibiotic with food security, it is extremely desirable to propose sensitive and credible methods for antibiotic screening. Nevertheless, most of known approaches are developed based on fluorescence technique, which suffered from the interferences of background fluorescence and autoluminescence, and tedious labeling procedures, ascribing to the deficiency of high-performance and multifunctional dyes. Herein, we developed a novel iridium (III) complex (Ir-QAU)-based aptamer-promoted phosphorescence sensor for label-free, enzyme-free and highly sensitive detection of target antibiotic (kanamycin, Kan) based on target-switched hybridizing chain reaction (HCR). Ir-QAU was elaborately devised to present a signal-on response to G-quadruplex (G4) DNA against other DNAs due to its specific intercalation in G4 DNA and subsequent restriction of intra-molecular rotation. The recognition of H1 by Kan promoted the formation of Kan@H1 complexes, which hybridized with H2 and H3 via toehold-mediated hybridization reaction, subsequently switching HCR to produce large numbers of G4 DNA. Compared to Kan absence, abundant Ir-QAU was locked in G4 DNA to yield a significantly increased luminescence, which switches the luminescence analysis process of Kan with a limit of detection down to 0.38 pM. Furthermore, the Ir-QAU-based sensor was triumphantly applied to detect Kan in milk sample. We anticipate this work will disclose a new way to development of high-efficiency and practical luminescence sensor, and show a great potential for antibiotic-related food security.

Abstract
Agricultural application contributes major consumption of antibiotics worldwide. As veterinary antibiotics are poorly metabolized by animals, most of them end up in agricultural waste, which is increasingly subject to thermal treatment, such as torrefaction, pyrolysis, etc. However, there is a lack of research on their thermal decomposition mechanisms and products elucidation. Therefore, this study investigated the thermal decomposition of four major veterinary antibiotics groups (β-lactams, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides) with emphasis on their thermal stability, structural transformation and antibacterial activity. Results show that thermal treatment can remove the parent antibiotics with their antibacterial activity except for gatifloxacin (GAT). Although the parent form of GAT was fully removed at 200 °C, its products showed significant antibacterial activity against E. coli. We present novel evidence that the PhO-CH3 chemical bond on GAT preferentially brake to generate methyl radical, which underwent a substitution reaction at the para position of phenol. This reaction also occurred during the thermal decomposition of antibiotic analogues, balofloxacin and moxifloxacin, whose thermolysis products also showed significant antibacterial activity. Furthermore, these thermolysis products may present potentially cardiotoxic and pose higher risks to human health than their parent forms, based on the comparison with a group of drugs withdrawn from the market.

Association between antibiotic exposure and the risk of infertility in women of childbearing age: A case-control study. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 249:114414. [PMID: 36516626 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.114414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Based on self-report questionnaires, two previous epidemiological studies investigated the association between the exposure of women to antibiotics and their fertility. However, biomonitoring studies on low-dose antibiotic exposure, mainly from food and water, and its relation to the risk of infertility are missing. METHODS Based on a case-control study design, 302 women with infertility (144 primary infertility, 158 secondary infertility) and 302 women with normal fertility, all aged 20-49 years, were recruited from Anhui Province, China, in 2020 and 2021. A total of 41 common antibiotics and two antibiotic metabolites in urine samples were determined by liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-QqQ-MS/MS). RESULTS Twenty-eight antibiotics with detection rates from 10% to 100% in both cases (median concentration: ∼2.294 ng/mL) and controls (∼1.596 ng/mL) were included in the analysis. Logistic regression analysis revealed that after controlling for confounding factors, high concentrations of eight individual antibiotics (sulfamethoxazole, sulfaclozine, sulfamonomethoxine, penicillin G, chlorotetracycline, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and cyadox) and four antibiotic classes (sulfonamides, tetracyclines, quinoxalines, and veterinary antibiotics) were related to a high risk of female infertility, with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 1.30 to 2.86, except for chlorotetracycline (OR = 6.34), while another nine individual antibiotics (sulfamethazine, azithromycin, cefaclor, amoxicillin, oxytetracycline, pefloxacin, sarafloxacin, enrofloxacin, and florfenicol) and classes of chloramphenicol analogs and human antibiotics were related to a reduced risk of infertility, with ORs ranging from 0.70 to 0.20. Based on restricted cubic spline models after controlling for confounding factors, we observed that the relationship between all of the above protective antibiotics and infertility was nonlinear: A certain concentration could reduce the risk of female infertility while exceeding a safe dose could increase the risk of infertility. CONCLUSION These results provide preliminary evidence that the effects of antibiotics on female fertility vary based on the active ingredient and usage and imply the importance of exposure dose. Future studies are needed to verify these results by controlling for multiple confounding factors.
