Abstract
Over the recent past, fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) have raised extensive attention due to their potential to induce the formation of resistance genes and "superbugs", thus various advanced oxidation techniques have been developed to eliminate their release into the environment. In the present study, the prototype tetraamido macrocyclic ligand (FeIII-TAML)/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) system is employed to degrade FQs (i.e., norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin) over a wide pH range (i.e., pH 6-10), and the reaction rate increases with the increase in pH level. The effect of dosage of FeIII-TAML and H2O2 on the degradation of FQs is evaluated, and the reaction rate is linearly correlated with the added amount of chemicals. Moreover, the impact of natural organic matters (NOM) on the removal of FQs is investigated, and the degradation kinetics show that both NOM type and experimental concentration exhibit negligible influence on the oxidative degradation of selected antibiotics. Based on the results of liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry and theoretical calculations, the reaction sites and pathways of FQs by FeIII-TAML/H2O2 system are further predicted and elucidated.

Abstract
Poultry litter is one of the main sources of fluoroquinolones (FQs) in agricultural soils. In this study, our main goal was to investigate FQ-contaminated poultry litter effects on Eisenia andrei earthworms. To achieve this, acute and chronic tests covered several endpoints, such as avoidance, biomass, lethality, reproduction and changes to immune cells. FQs (enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin) were determined in a poultry litter sample through high performance liquid chromatography with a fluorescence detector. The avoidance test indicates that poultry litter strongly repels earthworms, even at the lowest concentration (50 g kg-1). In the acute test, the lethal concentration of poultry litter to 50% of the earthworms (LC50), was estimated at 28.5 g kg-1 and a significant biomass loss (p < 0.05) occurred at 40 g kg-1. In the chronic test, a significant reproduction effect was observed at 20 g kg-1. Cell typing, density and feasibility indicated significant effects ranging from 5 to 20 g kg-1. A high risk quotient was estimated based on recommended poultry litter applications in field studies. Although FQ contamination in poultry litter and soils has been widely reported in previous studies, this is, to the best of our knowledge, the first toxicological assessment concerning earthworms exposed to FQ-contaminated poultry litter.

Abstract
Extensive use of antibiotic results in significant antibiotics pollution in the environment. Main objective of this study was to gain insight into potential impacts of antibiotics on plant physiological growth and nutritional composition, and stress alleviation through application of different organic amendments. Effects of five antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, amoxicillin and ampicillin) were observed in the presence of three organic amendments (rice husk, farmyard manure and poultry litter) with rice (Oryza sativa L.) as a model plant. Organic amendments were mixed with soil (@ 5 g kg-1) and after three weeks, antibiotics were applied (@10 mg kg-1) and plants were allowed to grow for four months. After which plants were harvested and physical growth parameters (root/shoot length, biomass) and nutritional composition (grain protein content, carbohydrates, phosphorous and iron) were monitored. It was observed that germination rate, seedling root/shoot length, seedling biomass and vigor index were negatively impacted. The application of organic amendments alleviated antibiotic stress on seedling dry biomass, length and vigor index by 1.8-, 3.1- and 2.5-folds, respectively as compared to the antibiotic controls. Concentrations of phosphorous, iron, carbohydrates and proteins were decreased by 5.3-, 1.3-, 1.4- and 1.6-folds upon application of antibiotics. Rice husk was the most effective treatment in case of physical growth parameters and alleviating antibiotics' induced genotoxicity. Whereas, poultry litter had the highest positive effect on nutritional composition of plants. In general, the application of organic amendments alleviated the phytotoxicity as well as genotoxicity in plants under antibiotics stress.

Abstract
It is important to study the fate and transport of antibiotics in aquatic environments to reveal their pollution status. The premise behind fate and transport studies is to evaluate the reaction processes of the target antibiotics. However, available research on the environmental behaviors of antibiotics in certain natural waters, such as estuarine water, is scarce. In this study, single reactions such as sorption, biodegradation, and photolysis and multiple degradation reactions of sulfamethoxazole (SMX), trimethoprim (TMP), and ciprofloxacin (CIP) in the estuarine water were studied. The sorption rates of the target antibiotics in the estuarine water-sediment system were very fast, and the sorption amounts varied among sediments and antibiotics. Hydrolysis did not contribute to the degradation of the target antibiotics. Biodegradation had a low contribution to the degradation of the target antibiotics in the estuarine water. In comparison, photolysis was the dominant degradation process for SMX, TMP, and CIP. The rates of photolysis of the tested antibiotics in the estuarine water were greater than those in pure water; thereby, indicating photolysis of these antibiotics was more prone to occur in the estuarine water. In the multiple degradation experiments, it was found that there may be synergistic effects between the single degradation processes. Thus, the aqueous concentrations of antibiotics decreased rapidly by sorption after entering the estuarine water and then decreased relatively slowly by photolysis and biodegradation. This study provides information for evaluating the environmental behaviors of antibiotics in estuarine environments.

Abstract
An experiment was carried out using microcosms to evaluate the impact of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic on nematode trophic groups structure and bacterial abundance. Sediment samples were experimentally enriched with four increasing doses of ciprofloxacin [D1 (50 ppm), D2 (100 ppm), D3 (200 ppm) and D4 (500 ppm)] and compared to non-enriched sediments (used as control). Ciprofloxacin changed the trophic composition of nematodes taxa where the relative abundance of microvores (M), epigrowth feeders (EF) and ciliate consumers (CF), raised in a control microcosm, was highly affected and significantly decreased in response to the increasing doses. Nevertheless, the abundance of deposit feeders (DF), optional predators (FP) and exclusive predators (Pr) showed a significant increase. Results from the multivariate analysis showed a clear impact of this antibiotic on nematode trophic assemblages. Microcosms treated with the three highest doses [D2, D3 and D4] were different from the control. The exceptions were those treated with the lowest dose, D1, and which were grouped with the control. The SIMPER analysis results showed that the average dissimilarity continuously increased in the treated microcosms compared to the control. Furthermore, our results have shown that ciprofloxacin also leads to a significant decrease in bacterial density with the highest dose, which could explain the results obtained for nematode trophic groups distribution. Thus, the bacteriophages nematodes only use bacteria as a nutrition source and the lack or presence in small quantity of this food could induce a decrease in their abundance as well as changing of nematodes groups repartition. Our work demonstrates that the nematode responses were dependent on sediment enrichment with ciprofloxacin and opens new perspectives on the potential impact of antibiotics on functional nematode diversity.

Abstract
Soil and sludge are major reservoirs of organic compounds such as fluoroquinolones (FQs) which are broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. Hence, we monitored three major FQs, namely, ciprofloxacin (CIP), norfloxacin (NOR), and ofloxacin (OFL), in surface soil from two major dumpsites and dry and wet sludge from sewage treatment plants in Chennai city. The mean concentration of FQs in soil and sludge samples were 20 μg/g and 26 μg/g, respectively. Nearly 50% of the total FQs in dumpsite soil was contributed by CIP followed by NOR (32%) and OFL (13%). Similarly, CIP was the major contributor in sludge samples followed by NOR and OFL. The concentration of FQs was two folds higher in wet sludge than dry sludge most likely indicating that water solubility of these compounds might play an important role for elevated level of FQs in wet sludge. Solid waste from pharmaceutical industries, households, and sludge from wastewater treatment plants were expected to be the major source of FQs in dumpsite soil. Predicted risk assessment using soil to water migration concentrations via surface run off indicated high risk to aquatic organisms. However, risk quotient (RQ) was found less to earthworm in most of the soil samples. The findings from this study might help in future policies on disposal of household antibiotics in the solid waste stream.

Abstract
Poultry litter soil application contributes to sustainability of agricultural systems and is in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDG). Poultry litter recommended rates are based on crop nitrogen (N) needs, however, their application can be a potential source of antibiotics and trace elements overload. The aim of the study was to estimate the role of poultry litter application on soil contamination by fluoroquinolones [enrofloxacin (ENR) and ciprofloxacin (CIP)] and trace elements, based on N requirements for crops. Analytical and sampling techniques were used to estimate the loads from poultry litter application. Only CIP was found in poultry litter samples (283 ± 124 µg kg-1) and its load was estimated to be of 9.89 ± 4.33 g ha-1, for the poultry litter application (35 t ha-1). The estimated loads (g ha-1) of trace elements were: Cr 9.19 ± 3.26, Ni 12.3 ± 4.93, Pb 22.0 ± 8.26, Cu 229 ± 85.6, Mn 691 ± 259 and Zn 1,011 ± 378. These estimates were 900% higher than those recommended by the technical guidance, while N exceeded 600% the recommended application. In order to achieve UN-SDGs, local policies to disseminate knowledge and technologies are required for consolidating sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract
The extensive use of antibiotics globally and their residues in the environment has become a serious concern. Intensive animal farming is considered to be a major contributor to the increased environmental burden of antibiotics. Although some antibiotic investigations have been advancing around the world, as an important agricultural country, the information on these pollutants in animal farms are very limited in China. Previous studies have explored few antibiotic residues in livestock farms, whereas information on some antibiotics has remained unknown. The current study analyzed residues of 32 common veterinary antibiotics in manure and manure-based fertilizers collected from Jiangsu Province, China. In most of the manure and fertilizer samples, sulfamethazine and tetracycline were present, with high concentration up to 5650 and 1920 μg·kg-1, respectively. These detected antibiotics have weak relationships with physicochemical properties. Ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, sulfamethazine, and sulfachlorpyridazine, hence pose a high potential risk to crops based on the toxicological data of organisms and plants in the soil environment. However, soil invertebrate, such as earthworms, Planococcus Citri. and Folsomia fimeraria., had low ecological risks. Our results showed the presence of antibiotics in livestock and poultry farms plus the potential risks to the soil ecosystem. Therefore, the findings can provide guidelines for monitoring antibiotic residues in agroecosystems, as well as insights into the associated ecological risks of using the two products.

Abstract
The poultry industry in the European Union produces 13 million tons of manure annually, which represents a major health and environmental challenge. Composting is an environmental-friendly technique for the management of manure, but there are few studies about antibiotic residues and antimicrobial resistances at a field scale. The goal of this study was to determine if the composting of poultry manure at a field scale would result in the reduction of antibiotic residues, pathogenic bacteria, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the final fertilizer product. A 10-week composting of poultry manure spiked with enrofloxacin, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin was performed. The determination of antibiotics residues and 22 selected ARGs was carried out together with the identification of bacteria by metagenomics. In the case of ciprofloxacin and doxycycline, a 90% decrease was observed after composting for 3 weeks. Sixteen ARGs were detected at the beginning of the experiment; 12 of them decreased from week 0 to week 10 (reduction of 73.7-99.99%). The presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria, such as, Campylobacter coli or commensal bacteria such as Escherichia coli decreases along the composting process. In conclusion, 10-week composting of poultry manure promotes the reduction of antibiotic residues and most of the ARGs and pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
Antibiotics have adverse effects on human health and aquatic ecosystems in water environment, which is the main pool. In this study, antibiotics in the aquatic environment of China, containing both surface water and groundwater, were first systematically reviewed. That is essential for surface water and groundwater guideline and industry management. 128 articles were reviewed, containing 116 papers on surface water and 12 papers on groundwater. 94 antibiotics were detected at least once in the aquatic environment of China and most of the studies were in the eastern areas of China. The median concentrations of most antibiotics were below than 100 ng/L in the surface water and 10 ng/L in the groundwater. The concentrations of most antibiotics in China were similar or a little higher than in other countries. According to risk assessment, three antibiotics (enrofloxacin, ofloxacin and erythromycin) and three regions (Haihe River, Wangyang River and Taihu Lake) should be given more concerns. Strengthened policy and management are needed in these regions. In the future, more studies on groundwater and a priority list of antibiotics in the aquatic environment was needed.

Overall changes in the transcriptome of Escherichia coli O26:H11 induced by a subinhibitory concentration of ciprofloxacin. J Appl Microbiol 2020; 129:1577-1588. [PMID: 32506645 DOI: 10.1111/jam.14741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2019] [Revised: 04/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The goal was to explore the effects of subinhibitory concentration (SIC) (0·5 MIC = 20 µg l-1 ) of ciprofloxacin on the transcriptome of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O26:H11 isolate by 60 minutes of exposure. MATERIALS AND RESULTS We used a combination of comparative genomic and transcriptomic (RNAseq) analyses. The whole genome of the E. coli O26:H11 #30934 strain of bovine origin was sequenced and assembled. This genome was next used as reference for the differential gene expression analysis. A whole-genome-based analysis of 36 publicly available E. coli O26:H11 genomes was performed to define the core and the accessory transcriptome of E. coli O26:H11. Using RNAseq and RT-qPCR analysis we observed overexpression of the SOS response and of T3SS effectors, together with the inhibition of specific motility-associated genes. Among the large set of transposases present, only three were activated, suggesting moderate transposition of genes with low doses of ciprofloxacin. Our results illustrated that transcriptional repressors, such as the CopG family protein, belonging to the core genome of E. coli O26:H11, are altered in response to fluoroquinolone exposure. The gene ontology enrichment analysis showed SIC of ciprofloxacin induced binding functions and catalytic activities, including mostly transferase and hydrolase proteins. The amino acid pathways involved in metabolic processes were significantly enhanced after the treatment. CONCLUSIONS Although the core genome of E. coli O26:H11 constituted only 54·5% of the whole genome, we demonstrated that most differentially expressed genes were associated with the core genome of E. coli O26:H11, and that effects on the mobile genetic element, phage, and plasmid-related genes were rare. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY For the first time the effect of low dose of ciprofloxacin on the core transcriptome of E. coli O26:H11 was described. The effects on the main biological functions and protein classes including transcriptional regulators were illustrated.

Abstract
In recent years, antibiotics have been used for human and animal disease treatment, growth promotion, and prophylaxis, and their consumption is rising worldwide. Antibiotics are often not fully metabolized by the body and are released into the aquatic environment, where they may have negative effects on the non-target species. This review examines the recent researches on eight representative antibiotics (erythromycin, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and amoxicillin). A detailed overview of their concentrations in surface waters, groundwater, and effluents is provided, supported by recent global human consumption and veterinary use data. Furthermore, we review the ecotoxicity of these antibiotics towards different groups of organisms, and assessment of the environmental risks to aquatic organisms. This review discusses and compares the suitability of currently used ecotoxicological bioassays, and identifies the knowledge gaps and future challenges. The risk data indicate that selected antibiotics may pose a threat to aquatic environments. Cyanobacteria were the most sensitive organisms when using standard ecotoxicological bioassays. Further studies on their chronic effects to aquatic organisms and the toxicity of antibiotic mixtures are necessary to fully understand the hazards these antibiotics present.

Manure anaerobic digestion effects and the role of pre- and post-treatments on veterinary antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes removal efficiency. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 721:137532. [PMID: 32179343 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.137532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 73] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2019] [Revised: 02/22/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2020] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
This review was aimed to summarize and critically evaluate studies on removal of veterinary antibiotics (VAs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) with anaerobic digestion (AD) of manure and demonstrate areas of focus for improved removal efficiency. The environmental risks associated to the release of the same were also critically evaluated. The potential of AD and advanced AD of manure on removal rate of VAs, ARGs and MGEs was thoroughly assessed. In addition, the role of post and pre-AD treatments and their potential to support VAs and ARGs removal efficiency were evaluated. The overall review results show disparity among the different groups of VAs in terms of removal rate with relatively higher efficiency for β-lactams and tetracyclines compared to the other groups. Some of sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones and macrolides were reported to be highly persistent with removal rates as low as zero. Within group differences were also reported in many literatures. Moreover, removal of ARGs and MGEs by AD was widely reported although complete removal was hardly possible. Even in rare scenarios, some AD conditions were reported to increase copies of specific groups of the genes. Temperature pretreatments and temperature phased advanced AD were also reported to improve removal efficiency of VAs while contributing to increased biogas production. Moreover, a few studies also showed the possibility of further removal by post-AD treatments such as liquid-solid separation, drying and composting. In conclusion, the various studies revealed that AD in its current technological level is not a guarantee for complete removal of VAs, ARGs and MGEs from manure. Consequently, their possible release to the soils with digestate could threaten the healthcare and disturb soil microbial ecology. Thus, intensive management strategies need to be designed to increase removal efficiency at the different manure management points along the anaerobic digestion process.

Influence of mussel shell, oak ash and pine bark on the adsorption and desorption of sulfonamides in agricultural soils. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 261:110221. [PMID: 32148292 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2019] [Revised: 01/03/2020] [Accepted: 01/28/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Taking into account the high mobility and environmental risks due to sulfonamide antibiotics as emerging pollutants, batch-type experiments were performed to study adsorption/desorption of three sulfonamides (sulfadiazine -SDZ-, sulfamethazine -SMT- and sulfachloropyridazine -SCP-) in three agricultural soils. The study was carried out both for un-amended and amended soil samples, using different doses (0, 12, 24 and 48 Mg ha-1) of three different by-products (mussel shell, oak ash and pine bark). Adsorption on un-amended soils was rather low, with percentages between 11 and 45% for SDZ, 20-64% for SMT, and 19-65% for SCP. Both the Linear and Freundlich models fitted well to adsorption curves. In the case of un-amended soils, and regarding the Linear model, the values of the coefficient of distribution (Kd, expressed in L kg-1) were between 0.6 and 1.3 for SDZ, between 0.7 and 1.1 for SMT, and between 0.6 and 2.6 for SCP. As regards the Freundlich model, the values of the adsorption constant (KF, expressed in L1/n μmol1-1/n kg-1), were in the range 0.4-1.9 for SDZ, 0.9-2.9 for SMT, and 1.2-3.8 for SCP. Simultaneously, desorption percentages were high, reaching 13.7-47.7% for SDZ, 12.6-35.1% for SMT, and 13.7-34.3% for SCP, when the highest initial antibiotic concentration (50 μmol L-1) was added, thus indicating low retention and high mobility for these compounds in soils. Mussel shell and oak ash amendments did not increase retention of any of the three sulfonamides. However, the incorporation of pine bark resulted in an increase in the adsorption and decrease in desorption for all three antibiotics. Specifically, for soils amended with pine bark at 48 Mg ha-1, Kd values (expressed in L kg-1) were between 2.1 and 2.9 for SDZ, between 3.4 and 3.6 for SMT, and between 2.5 and 8.2 for SCP. Regarding KF (expressed in L1/n μmol1-1/n kg-1), its values ranged from 5.6 to 6.3 for SDZ, 6.2-8.8 for SMT, and 5.3-7.1 for SCP. These scores were clearly higher than those of un-amended soils, and pine bark amendment also resulted in lower desorption percentages, ranging 8.7-11.4% for SDZ, 4.0-10.7% for SMT, and 6.5-16.9% for SCP. This positive effect on the retention of sulfonamides due to pine bark can be attributed to its high organic carbon content (48.6%), as well as to its acidic pHw (4.0). Therefore, pine bark amendment can be considered an effective alternative to increase the retention of sulfonamides in soils, thus reducing their bioavailability and transport to other environmental compartments, and subsequent risks of negative impacts on human and environmental health.

Abstract
Veterinary antibiotics have been detected as contaminants of emerging concern in soil environment worldwide. Animal manure is frequently applied to agricultural fields to improve soil fertility, which can result in introducing large amount of antibiotics into soil environment. However, few attempts have been made to identify the spatial and temporal dynamics of veterinary antibiotics in soil at the hillslope scale with different land uses. This study was performed to explore the pattern and variability of veterinary antibiotics in the soil in response to rainfall events. Results showed that higher concentrations of veterinary antibiotics were generally found in cropland (292.6 ± 280.1 ng/g) and orchard (228.1 ± 230.5 ng/g) than in forestland (13.5 ± 9.9 ng/g). After rainfall events, antibiotics accumulated in the soil at the positions where manure was applied, especially under high-intensity rainfall conditions. However, the antibiotic concentration in soil slightly increased from the top to the bottom of hills, thus indicating the restricted contribution of runoff to antibiotic transport, especially under low-intensity rainfall conditions. In addition, most antibiotics were sequestered in the surface soil (0-10 cm), and higher antibiotic concentrations were observed in deep soil (20-40 cm) in cropland than orchard. The soil aggregate, organic matter, and clay content played important roles in antibiotic sequestration along the hillslope subject to low-, medium-, and large-amount rainfall events, respectively. This study identified that land use, rainfall conditions, and soil structures jointly affect the spatial and temporal variability of antibiotics in soils on hillslopes.

Abstract
Antibiotics are the most consumed therapeutic classes worldwide and are released to the environment in their original form as well as potentially active metabolites and/or degradation products. Consequences of the occurrence of these compounds in the environment are primarily related to bacterial resistance development. This work presents a validated analytical method based on solid phase extraction (SPE) using HLB cartridges, followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for quantification of seven different fluoroquinolone antibiotics, namely ciprofloxacin (CPF), enrofloxacin (ENR), lomefloxacin (LOM), norfloxacin (NOR), ofloxacin (OFL), prulifloxacin (PLF) and moxifloxacin (MOX) and its application to detect the target compounds in influents and effluents of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Linearity was established through calibration curves in solvent and matrix match using internal calibration method in the range of 50-1300 ng L-1 and all the fluoroquinolones showed good linear fit (r2 ≥ 0.991). Accuracy ranged between 80.3 and 92.9%, precision was comprised between 7.2 and 14.6%, and 10.7 and 18.1% for intra- and inter-batch determinations, respectively. Method detection and quantification limits ranged from 6.7 to 59.0 ng L-1 and 22.3-196.6 ng L-1, respectively. Influents and effluents of fifteen WWTPs of North of Portugal were analyzed. OFL was the fluoroquinolone found at the highest concentration, up to 4587.0 ng L-1 and 987.9 ng L-1, in influent and effluent, respectively. NOR and PLF were not detected.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) has caused increasing concerns regarding its potential environmental risks. However, their effects on bacterial community and microbial interactions in wetland system remains unclear. To verify these issues, a lab-scale constructed wetland exposed to low concentration FQs mixture was carried out for two months. The results showed that the removal efficiencies of COD and TP were negatively affected. FQs significantly increased the bacterial diversity and altered the overall bacterial community structure. Proteobacteria significantly decreased while Firmicutes exhibited opposite tendency (P < 0.05). Dechloromonas and Delftia, involved in phosphorus removal, decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Molecular ecological network analysis suggested that FQs promoted the network complexity and microbial interactions. A super module emerged at FQs and among-module connections were weakened obviously. Additionally, Nodes of Betaproteobacteria lost most interactions while Clostridia acquired more interactions at the presence of FQs. This study provided insights into how the bacterial community and their molecular ecological network respond to FQs in constructed wetland system.

Abstract
Adsorption and desorption processes were studied for the antibiotics sulfamethoxypyridazine (SMP) and enrofloxacin (ENR) in 20 agricultural soils devoted to wheat-potato and vine cultivation. Batch experiments were used to conduct kinetic studies, as well as to evaluate adsorption and desorption for different concentrations of antibiotics. The results indicated that adsorption curves were linear for SMP, while presented a certain curvature in the case of ENR. The adsorption of both antibiotics was fitted to a linear equation and to the Freundlich model. In the case of the linear equation, the values of the distribution coefficient Kd were lower for SMP (0.9-26.0 L kg-1) than for ENR (121-2345 L kg-1). In the Freundlich model, the values of the adsorption constant KF ranged between 1.7 and 34.0 Ln μmol1-n kg-1 for SMP, and between 829 and 3019 Ln μmol1-n kg-1 for ENR. A multiple regression analysis showed that, in the case of SMP, 78% of the variance of the adsorption parameter Kd was explained by soil organic carbon (SOC) and exchangeable magnesium (Mge) contents, while for ENR no significant relation was found. In addition, for SMP, 66% of the variance of KF was explained by SOC, and for ENR 45% of the variability of KF was explained by nitrogen content. Desorption rates were higher for SMP (reaching up to 24%) than for ENR (which reached up to 7%). Desorption percentages showed a potential relation with the adsorption parameter Kd for both SMP and ENR. These results could be useful to elucidate the evolution and dynamics of these emerging pollutants in soils and other environmental compartments, which could be of aid in controlling public health risks associated to them.

Abstract
It is well-established that the spread of many multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria is predominantly clonal. Interestingly the international clones/sequence types (STs) of most pathogens emerged and disseminated during the last three decades. Strong experimental evidence from multiple laboratories indicate that diverse fitness cost associated with high-level resistance to fluoroquinolones contributed to the selection and promotion of the international clones/STs of hospital-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA), extended-spectrum β-lactamase-(ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Clostridioides difficile. The overwhelming part of the literature investigating the epidemiology of the pathogens as a function of fluoroquinolone use remain in concordence with these findings. Moreover, recent in vitro data clearly show the potential of fluoroquinolone exposure to shape the clonal evolution of Salmonella Enteritidis. The success of the international clones/STs in all these species was linked to the strains' unique ability to evolve multiple energetically beneficial gyrase and topoisomerase IV mutations conferring high-level resistance to fluorquinolones and concomittantly permitting the acquisition of an extra resistance gene load without evoking appreciable fitness cost. Furthermore, by analyzing the clonality of multiple species, the review highlights, that in environments under high antibiotic exposure virulence factors play only a subsidiary role in the clonal dynamics of bacteria relative to multidrug-resistance coupled with favorable fitness (greater speed of replication). Though other groups of antibiotics should also be involved in selecting clones of bacterial pathogens the role of fluoroquinolones due to their peculiar fitness effect remains unique. It is suggested that probably no bacteria remain immune to the influence of fluoroquinolones in shaping their evolutionary dynamics. Consequently a more judicious use of fluoroquinolones, attuned to the proportion of international clone/ST isolates among local pathogens, would not only decrease resistance rates against this group of antibiotics but should also ameliorate the overall antibiotic resistance landscape.

Abstract
Large amounts of antimicrobials are used in salmonid aquaculture in Chile. Most are used in marine aquaculture, but appreciable amounts are also employed in freshwater aquaculture. Much research and many publications have examined transferable antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from marine salmon farms, but much less attention has been paid to this area in freshwater salmon farming. A recent paper by Domínguez et al. (2019) has as least in part remedied this situation. We now comment on some of its interpretations and have attempted to point out its areas of strength and weakness in light of the published scientific literature. Seen in this setting, the important results presented by Domínguez et al. (2019) underline the need for increased awareness of the challenge to animal and human health posed by excessive use of antimicrobials in aquaculture.

Abstract
In the last years, the European Commission has adopted restrictive directives on food quality and safety in order to protect animal and human health. Veterinary drugs represent an important risk and the need to have sensitive and fast analytical techniques to detect and quantify them has become mandatory. Over the years, the availability of different modes, interfaces, and formats has improved the versatility, sensitivity, and speed of capillary electrophoresis (CE) techniques. Thus, CE represents a powerful tool for the analysis of a large variety of food matrices and food-related molecules with important applications in food quality and safety. This review focuses the attention of CE applications over the last decade on the detection of different classes of drugs (used as additives in animal food or present as contaminants in food products) with a potential risk for animal and human health. In addition, considering that the different sample preparation procedures have strongly contributed to CE sensitivity and versatility, the most advanced sample pre-concentration techniques are discussed here.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues in soil may cause potential risks to human health and soil ecosystems. To avoid these potential risks, comprehensive study of the adsorption, transport and biodegradation of antibiotics in soil is very imperative. This review provided current views about the most recent studies, which have been conducted toward the adsorption, transport and biodegradation of antibiotics in soil. The influencing factors affecting the adsorption behaviors of antibiotics in soil, including the antibiotics properties (e.g., molecular structure, hydrophobicity, polarity, polarizability, and spatial configuration) and the soil characteristics (e.g., soil type, soil pH, coexisting ions, and soil organic matter), were discussed. The effects of fertilizer colloids, porous media, and pH of soil on the transport behaviors of antibiotics were analyzed. The biodegradation of antibiotics in soil were also highlighted by investigating the effects of soil microbiome, soil pH, soil temperature, and interactions between antibiotics. Prospects of antibiotics adsorption, transport and biodegradation were also proposed.

Evaluation of physiological changes induced by the fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin in the freshwater macrophyte species Lemna minor and Lemna gibba. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2019; 72:103242.

Abstract
The worldwide increase in the consumption of antibiotics is becoming a concern for the scientific community, since the presence of their residues in the wild poses specific challenges, especially in ecotoxicological terms. Currently, antibiotics are used for a wide range of purposes, being used against bacterial diseases but also as growth promoters. As a result, their environmental presence can affect wild organisms, especially those from the aquatic environment. This scenario leads to the need of characterizing the toxicity of antibiotics, especially towards non-target organisms. In this study we selected two species of aquatic macrophytes, Lemna minor and Lemna gibba, which are standard plant species inscribed in ecotoxicological testing guidelines. In this work we characterized the toxic effects of the quinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin (in levels of 0.005, 0.013, 0.031, 0.078, and 0.195 mg/L), focusing on its potential toxicity towards photosynthetic mechanisms, and pro-oxidant effects. These objectives were attained by measuring the concentrations of chlorophyll a and b, and carotenoids levels. The determination of the quantum yield allowed assessing the effects of ciprofloxacin on the photochemical efficiency of the Photosystem II (PSII). The pro-oxidant effects induced by ciprofloxacin were evaluated by measuring oxidative stress biomarkers, such as catalase activity, and also by determining lipoperoxidation levels. The obtained results showed no differences in terms of the content of both chlorophylls a and b, or any change in the photochemical efficiency of the PSII; however, the global carotenoids content of L. gibba were significantly decreased. The activity of the anti-oxidant enzyme catalase was also significantly increased in L. minor. L. gibba showed a decrease in lipid peroxidation levels, but only for the two lowest concentrations of ciprofloxacin. The global set of data shows the activation of the anti-oxidant defensive system of both plant species, a response that was likely activated by the pro-oxidant character of ciprofloxacin. Our data demonstrate the interference of this therapeutic compound at different levels of plant metabolism, at ecologically relevant concentrations. In fact, the obtained results are of ecological relevance since they illustrate deleterious effects that may compromise the physiology of aquatic non-target plant species.

Abstract
Antibiotics are not efficiently removed in conventional wastewater treatments. In fact, different advanced oxidation process (AOPs), including ozone, peroxide, UV radiation, among others, are being investigated in the elimination of microcontaminants. Most of AOPs proved to be efficient on the degradation of antibiotics, but the mineralization is on the one hand not evaluated or on the other hand not high. At this work, the UV-based hybrid process, namely Photo-assisted electrochemical oxidation (PEO), was applied, aiming the mineralization of microcontaminants such as the antibiotics Amoxicillin (AMX), Norfloxacin (NOR) and Azithromycin (AZI). The influence of the individual contributions of electrochemical oxidation (EO) and the UV-base processes on the hybrid process (PEO) was analysed. Results showed that AMX and NOR presented higher mineralization rate under direct photolysis than AZI due to the high absorption of UV radiation. For the EO processes, a low mineralization was found for all antibiotics, what was associated to a mass-transport limitation related to the low concentration of contaminants (200 µg/L). Besides that, an increase in mineralization was found, when heterogeneous photocatalysis and EO are compared, due to the influence of UV radiation, which overcomes the mass-transport limitations. Although the UV-based processes control the reaction pathway that leads to mineralization, the best results to mineralize the antibiotics were achieved by PEO hybrid process. This can be explained by the synergistic effect of the processes that constitute them. A higher mineralization was achieved, which is an important and useful finding to avoid the discharge of microcontaminants in the environment.

Abstract
The use of fluoroquinolones for the treatment of infections in humans and animals has increased in Argentina, and they can be found in large amounts in water bodies. The present study investigated the occurrence and associated ecological risk of 5 fluoroquinolones in rivers and farm wastewaters of San Luis, Santa Fe, Córdoba, Entre Ríos, and Buenos Aires provinces of Argentina by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to fast-scanning fluorescence detection and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry detection. The maximum concentrations of ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, ofloxacin, enoxacin, and difloxacin found in wastewater were 1.14, 11.9, 1.78, 22.1, and 14.2 μg L-1 , respectively. In the case of river samples, only enrofloxacin was found, at a concentration of 0.97 μg L-1 . The individual risk of aquatic organisms associated with water pollution due to fluoroquinolones was higher in bacteria, cyanobacteria, algae, plants, and anurans than in crustaceae and fish, with, in some cases, risk quotients >1. The proportion of samples classified as high risk was 87.5% for ofloxacin, 63.5% for enrofloxacin, 57.1% for ciprofloxacin, and 25% for enoxacin. Our results suggest that the prevalence of fluoroquinolones in water could be potentially risky for the aquatic ecosystem, and harmful to biodiversity.

Abstract
Antibiotics in manure, soil, wastewater, and groundwater samples from the livestock and poultry farms in Xuzhou City were investigated in the present study. The concentrations of antibiotics in all matrices varied greatly among farms. Total concentrations of fluoroquinolones and macrolides were much higher than those of sulfonamides in manures and soil samples. Total concentrations of antibiotics in wastewater of livestock farms were higher than those of poultry farm. Josamycin (JM) and tilmicosin (TIL) accounted for more than 74% of the nine macrolides in all groundwater samples. Sulfamethizole (SMT), fleroxacin (FLE), cinoxacin (CIN) and JM were the main antibiotics detected in manure and soil samples, while sulfamethoxypyridazine (SMP), sulfameter (SME), SMT, FLE, JM and TIL accounted for a large proportion of antibiotics in surface and groundwater. The risk assessment of target antibiotics revealed that JM in wastewater showed relatively high RQs for aquatic organisms.

Abstract
Antibiotics, the most frequently prescribed drugs of modern medicine, are extensively used for both human and veterinary applications. Antibiotics from different wastewater sources (e.g., municipal, hospitals, animal production, and pharmaceutical industries) ultimately are discharged into wastewater treatment plants. Sorption and biodegradation are the two major removal pathways of antibiotics during biological wastewater treatment processes. This review provides the fundamental insights into sorption mechanisms and biodegradation pathways of different classes of antibiotics with diverse physical-chemical attributes. Important factors affecting sorption and biodegradation behavior of antibiotics are also highlighted. Furthermore, this review also sheds light on the critical role of extracellular polymeric substances on antibiotics adsorption and their removal in engineered biological wastewater treatment systems. Despite major advancements, engineered biological wastewater treatment systems are only moderately effective (48-77%) in the removal of antibiotics. In this review, we systematically summarize the behavior and removal of different antibiotics in various biological treatment systems with discussion on their removal efficiency, removal mechanisms, critical bioreactor operating conditions affecting antibiotics removal, and recent innovative advancements. Besides, relevant background information including antibiotics classification, physical-chemical properties, and their occurrence in the environment from different sources is also briefly covered. This review aims to advance our understanding of the fate of various classes of antibiotics in engineered biological wastewater treatment systems and outlines future research directions.

Abstract
Extensive fluoroquinolone antibiotics use results in their widespread occurrence in various environments including soil, which threatens the soil ecology and public health. The fate of fluoroquinolones in agricultural soil and the efficacy of enhanced degradation in the presence of an agricultural crops and antibiotic degrading bacteria could be better understood. The current study examined ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR), and levofloxacin (LEV) biodegradation in a Maury Silt Loam soil in greenhouse conditions by bacterial-assisted removal of individual and mixed antibiotics in wheat rhizospheres. Fluoroquinolones were added at rates of 5, 50, and 100 mg kg-1. Three bacterial isolates were applied at 106 CFU g-1 soil individually and in consortium. Antibiotics appeared in wheat tissue, with more accumulation in roots than shoots. Low recoveries (<50%) of CIP, ENR, and LEV were observed at all levels and treatments in a bacteria and wheat-free control compared to the initial concentrations applied Contaminated soil with wheat had greater antibiotic recovery than the wheat-free control. Antibiotic recovery with bacterial inoculum was less than that of the indigenous bacteria. The least antibiotic recovery occurred with wheat and bacterial inoculum together. At concentrations of 5 and 50 mg kg-1, but not at 100 mg kg-1, CIP, ENR, and LEV were below detection limits in soil after 30 days through the combination of wheat and bacteria compared to the control. This synergistic removal of the fluoroquinolone antibiotics is proposed to be due to enhanced antibiotic bioavailability, which suggests it as an environment-friendly approach to biodegradation.

Abstract
The prevalence and persistence of antibiotics in soils has become an emerging environmental issue and an increasing threat to soil security and global public health. The problem is more severe in areas undergoing rapid urbanization; however, the ecological risks of antibiotics, seasonal variability, and associated soil microbial responses in peri-urban soils have not been well-explored. The seasonal soil sampling campaigns were conducted in a typical peri-urban watershed in eastern China to investigate distribution of antibiotics. The results demonstrated higher mean concentrations of most antibiotic compounds in winter than in summer in peri-urban soils. The seasonal variations of norfloxacin, enrofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin were more significant than those of other antibiotics, due to their higher migration ability and bioavailability. An ecological risk assessment demonstrated that chlortetracycline, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, and ofloxacin can pose high risks to soil microorganisms. Furthermore, the coexistence of multiple antibiotics obviously poses higher risks than individual compounds. A redundancy analysis demonstrated that tetracyclines mainly showed negative correlations with Firmicutes and Chloroflexi, and quinolones showed obviously negative correlations with Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, and Nitrospirae, suggesting potential inhibition from antibiotics on biological activities or biodegradation processes. However, the persistence of antibiotics in soil results in a significant decrease in bacterial diversity and a change in dominant species. Our results provide an overview of the seasonal variability of antibiotics and the associated effects on bacterial communities in peri-urban soils. The results can provide scientific guidance on decreasing soil contamination with antibiotics to enhance soil security in similar areas.

Abstract
In this study, a magnetic molecular sieve material (Fe3O4@MCM-48) was synthesized by a combination of solvothermal and self-assembly methods. The physicochemical properties of the magnetic molecular sieve material were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, magnetic hysteresis loop measurements, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The as-synthesized nanocomposite showed various advantages, including easy magnetic-assisted separation, high specific surface area, and a highly interwoven and branched mesoporous structure. The Fe3O4@MCM-48 nanocomposite was then used as an effective adsorbent material for magnetic solid-phase extraction of fluoroquinolones (FQs) from water samples. The FQs in the extract were determined via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Adsorption and desorption factors that affected the extraction performance were systematically optimized using spiked purified water samples. Good linearity (with R2 > 0.99) was shown by this FQ detection system for FQ concentrations from 5 to 1000 ng L-1. Moreover, low detection limits (0.7-6.0 ng L-1) and quantitation limits (2.5-20.0 ng L-1) and satisfactory repeatability (relative standard deviation < 10%, n = 6) were achieved for water samples. The developed method was also validated for the analysis of FQs in meat and milk samples. Finally, FQs in food and drinking water samples were successfully determined using the developed method.

Abstract
Our main goal was to investigate the potential accumulation of fluoroquinolones (FQs) in agricultural soils over extended periods of land use, predicting leaching and estimating risk quotients for soil microorganisms. Short to long-term of poultry litter fertilization (<1-30 years) were evaluated for enrofloxacin (ENR) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) input, in addition to the emergence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes. High FQs concentration (range 0.56-100 mg kg-1) were measured in poultry litter samples. In soils, FQs occurrence and risks have changed over the years. An accumulation trend was observed between short and medium-term fertilized soils (ST and MT soils), reaching a range of 330-6138 μg kg-1 ENR and 170-960 μg kg-1 CIP in MT soil, followed by decreased concentrations in long-term fertilized soils (LT soils). The environmental risk assessment showed a high ENR risk quotient (RQ ≥ 1) in ST and MT soils ranging (7-226) and high CIP risk (9-53) in LT soils. The detection of qnrS genes in the area with the lowest FQs concentration emphasizes the importance of a broader approach to environmental assessment, in which not only target compounds are considered. FQs soil-water migration model pointed out a high leaching risk in ST soil. To reduce risks, management measures to decrease antibiotic environmental load should be taken before poultry litter application. In addition, the high weathering of tropical soils contributing to possible fate of antibiotics to water resources through drainage basins should be considered.

Abstract
Long-term manure application gives rise to the uptake of antibiotics by plants and antibiotics subsequent entry into the food chain, representing an important alternative pathway for human exposure to antibiotics. The antibiotics can cause negative effects on crop growth and productivity. The bioaccumulation and translocation of 14 target antibiotics in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) and their effects on peanut relative biomass in fields with long-term (≥15 years) manure application were studied. The results showed that all the target antibiotics were found in manures and rhizosphere soils, and most of them were found in all peanut tissues (roots, shells, kernels, stem, and leaves). The antibiotic concentrations in peanut tissues were varied with the characteristics of antibiotics in soils. Tetracyclines were the dominating antibiotic compounds in all peanut tissues, accounting for 61%-80% of total antibiotics due to their relatively high concentration in rhizosphere soil. Most tetracyclines and quinolones preferentially accumulated in the roots and translocated to other peanut tissues than sulfonamides and macrolides. Furthermore, the influence of antibiotics in soil and crops on relative biomass of crop tissues varied with tissues and antibiotic types. Antibiotics significantly inhibited the tissue relative biomass in most cases, although stimulation of some antibiotics to crop biomass was also observed. We found that 18.3% of the variance of the peanut relative biomass was explained by antibiotics in soils and tissues. The estimated threshold of daily intake values suggests that the consumption of peanut kernels grown in field conditions with long-term manure application presents a moderate risk to human health.

Abstract
Karst aquifers are highly susceptible to contamination because compounds in water from the land surface are able to enter aquifers directly through sinkholes and travel rapidly through conduits. To investigate the occurrence and profiles of antibiotics in the typical karst river system in Kaiyang, southwest China, 34 aqueous samples were collected periodically to delineate seasonal trends in antibiotic levels. Thirty-five antibiotics, including nine sulfonamides, four tetracyclines, five macrolides, 16 quinolones and chloramphenicol, were analysed via solid phase extraction combined with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 25 antibiotics were detected with the highest detection frequency reaching 94.1%, indicating the ubiquity of antibiotics in the study area. The total concentration of antibiotics ranged from 0.37 to 508.6 ng/L, with the dominating proportion including macrolides and quinolones based on the distribution profiles and seasonal variation. Due to the natural attenuation, the total concentration of antibiotics gradually decreased with the flow direction in the southern part of the river. The total concentrations of antibiotics in the mainstream were significantly higher in the dry season than in the rainy seasons. However, the distribution profiles were susceptible to anthropogenic activities, such as the leakage of septic tank wastewater. The dendrogram and heatmap revealed that three clusters of sample sites represented tributaries and the upstream areas, the downstream areas, and the potential pollutant source, and three clusters of antibiotics represented different concentration patterns. The high ecological risks of tetracycline, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin for algae and ofloxacin for plants were determined. These findings contributed to the establishment of a database for future monitoring and control of antibiotics in karst areas.

Abstract
Antibiotics, as emerging contaminants, are of global concern due to the development of antibiotic resistant microorganisms. Current wastewater treatment technology cannot efficiently remove sewage antibiotics and therefore new low-cost technologies are needed. Adsorption is a widely used process for removal of substances, and the search for efficient, low-cost adsorbents is ongoing. In this work, termite feces treated with H2SO4 (FT/H2SO4) were used as a low-cost adsorbent for removal of norfloxacin (NOR) present in aqueous medium. Termite feces were treated with H2SO4 at a ratio of 1:1 for 24 h, at 100 °C. The parameters contact time, initial NOR concentration, medium pH and temperature were evaluated. The optimum adsorption pH was 8.0. The pseudo-second-order model was found to best represent the kinetics of NOR adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity, calculated from the Sips isotherm model, was 104.4 mg/g at 55 °C. The positive values of ΔH0 (change in enthalpy) confirm the endothermic nature of the adsorption. The results show that FT/H2SO4 is an efficient adsorbent for removal of NOR present in aqueous medium. The adsorption capacity is higher than those reported in the literature for other low-cost adsorbents.

Sorption behaviors of antimicrobial and antiparasitic veterinary drugs on subtropical soils. CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 214:111-122. [PMID: 30261417 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.09.083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2018] [Revised: 09/12/2018] [Accepted: 09/15/2018] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Brazil is one of the world's largest producers of animal protein, requiring the large-scale use of veterinary drugs. The administration of antimicrobials and antiparasitics is a common practice. However, there is a lack of information on how these drugs impact the environment. Antimicrobials are capable of altering the soil microbial population and are responsible for the development of multidrug-resistant microbial strains. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the fate and transport of these compounds in the environment, and one parameter used for this purpose is the soil-water partition coefficient. In this work, an assessment was made of the soil sorption behaviors of 18 drugs from seven different families, including antimicrobials (sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, amphenicols, and macrolides) and antiparasitic drugs (milbemycin, avermectins, and benzimidazoles). Seven subtropical soils of different textural classes were tested. The Freundlich sorption coefficients, expressed as μg1-1/n (cm3)1/n g-1, were in the following ranges: 0.45 to 19 (sulfonamides), 72 to 2410 (fluoroquinolones), 9 to 58 (thiabendazole), 0.03 to 0.48 (florfenicol), 105 to 424 (moxidectin), 14 to 184 (avermectins), and 1.5 to 74 (macrolides). The results showed that the drugs belonging to the same family, with chemical structures in common, presented similar behaviors regarding sorption and desorption, for the different soils tested and are generally in agreement with soils from temperate regions. The data set obtained in this work give an overview of the fate of the veterinary drugs in Brazilian subtropical soils with different textures and composition and can be very helpful for exposure risk assessments.

Abstract
This study focused on the occurrence of seventeen veterinary antibiotics and six resistant bacterias in soils from the vegetable farms fertilized with animal manure in China. Seventeen veterinary antibiotics, including sulfonamides, quinolones, tetracyclines, macrolides and amphenicols, were detected by high performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometer in all the 53 soil samples collected in four provinces during August 2016. The concentrations of target antibiotics in the soil samples ranged from not detectable to 415.00 μg/kg dry weight with the mean residual levels of the five classes followed order: tetracyclines (82.75 μg/kg) > quinolones (12.78 μg/kg) > macrolides (12.24 μg/kg) > sulfonamides (2.61 μg/kg) > amphenicols (0.06 μg/kg). Moreover, the highest antibiotic levels were found mainly in soil from organic vegetable farms. Risk assessment by using the methods of risk quotient, suggested that oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin could pose severe ecological risk in sampled soils. Resistant strains were isolated in 30 samples, with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia found the dominant bacterial hosts with resistance genes. Antibiotic resistance genes, including tetA, tetB, qnrS, oqxA, sul1, sul2, ermA and floR, were detected in the strains resistant to: tetracyclines, quinolones, sulfonamides, macrolides and amphenicols resistance, respectively. Overall, there was a correlation between the results of antibiotic risk assessment with the detection of resistance genes from isolated strains in the soils.

Abstract
Porous carbon materials derived from biopolymers are attractive sorbents for the removal of emerging pollutants from water, due to their high specific surface area, high porosity, tunable surface chemistry, and reasonable cost. However, carrageenan biopolymers were scarcely investigated as a carbon source to prepare porous carbon materials. Herein, hydrochars (HCs) and porous activated carbons (ACs) derived from natural occurring polysaccharides with variable sulfate content (κ-, ι- and λ-carrageenan) were prepared and investigated in the uptake of ciprofloxacin, which is an antibiotic detected in water sources and that poses serious hazards to public health. The materials were prepared using hydrothermal carbonization and subsequent chemical activation with KOH to increase the available surface area. The activated carbons were markedly microporous, presenting high specific surface area, up to 2800 m²/g. Activated carbons derived from κ- and λ-carrageenan showed high adsorption capacity (422 and 459 mg/g, respectively) for ciprofloxacin and fast adsorption kinetics, reaching the sorption equilibrium in approximately 5 min. These features place the ACs investigated here among the best systems reported in the literature for the removal of ciprofloxacin from water.

Abstract
To identify the dominant sources of contamination in peri-urban land, this study investigated the concentrations and distributions of antibiotics and metals in agricultural soil of this area. An index of landscape development intensity (LDI) was used to characterize the distribution of human disturbance-related land use. The results showed that total antibiotic concentration in the soil reached 395.55 μg/kg and that chlortetracycline was the predominant antibiotic compound, with a relatively high mean concentration of 30.62 μg/kg. In soils, the mean concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Pb were 38.41, 127.88, and 56.61 mg/kg and those of Al, Fe, and K were 83.73, 24.17, and 23.42 g/kg, respectively. A redundancy analysis showed that the landscape pattern in a 300-m buffer zone can well explain the variation in the concentrations of antibiotics and metals (24%, p < 0.05). The LDI in the 300-m buffer zone significantly correlated with the concentrations of total antibiotics and total amounts of Cu and Zn in the soil, suggesting that the risk of soil contamination increases with the intensity of anthropogenic activities. A structural equation modeling analysis indicated that Al, Cu, and Zn could significantly aggravate accumulation of tetracycline antibiotics in the soil, whereas there were only significantly direct paths from Cu to ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin. Overall, the results showed that aggravated co-contamination of antibiotics and metals occurs in agricultural soil under intensive human disturbance.

Abstract
The availability and persistence of various antibiotics in soil and soil amended with composted poultry manure were investigated through laboratory incubation assays. Six veterinary antibiotics (one fluoroquinolone, two tetracyclines, two sulfonamides and one lincosamide) and one active metabolite (ciprofloxacin) were studied. The incubation assays were conducted at a controlled temperature of 25 °C with different water regimes, such as constant moisture content (80% of water holding capacity) and drying-rewetting cycles. The studied antibiotics were determined in soil and soil aqueous phase samples by LC-MS/MS using internal standards. The results indicated that the highest levels found in the soil aqueous phase were for sulfamethoxazole, followed by sulfamethazine and lincomycin, being very low the levels of chlortetracycline, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin (≤1.8%). A positive correlation was observed between the antibiotic concentrations and the content of the dissolved organic carbon in soil aqueous phase with the incubation time. An increase in the apparent sorption coefficients of these antibiotics, except chlortetracycline and lincomycin, was observed when the soil was amended with composted manure. Except for fluoroquinolones, with remaining residues around 70% after 90 days of incubation, a fast dissipation of antibiotics was observed during the assay, with half-lives ranging from 8 to 27 days. These values increased between 6% and 53% in manure amended soil; nevertheless, half-lives remained short (9 days and 27 days for lincomycin and sulfamethazine, respectively). Similar results were obtained with soil under drying-rewetting cycles showing somewhat lower values in soil aqueous phase and slightly shorter half-lives in some cases. The results obtained pointed out that the route of entry of antibiotics into the soil, through recycled water or manure, may have an important effect on their behavior, particularly regarding their availability in soil.

Abstract
Antibiotics are increasingly recognized as anthropogenic contaminants in soils, and they can persist through a complex vicious cycle of transformation and bioaccumulation. In this study, we quantified 11 quinolones (QNs), 5 sulfonamides (SAs), 5 macrolides (MLs), and 4 tetracyclines (TCs) in soils at three soil layers (0-10, 10-20, 20-40 cm) in a typical peri-urban catchment in the Yangtze River Delta, Eastern China. The results showed that total antibiotic levels were significantly higher in cropland topsoil (p < 0.05) compared to orchards and forests (p < 0.05). Moreover, a significant seasonal variation for antibiotic concentrations in croplands' topsoil were observed in the summer (50.59 ± 84.55 ng/g) and winter (112.44 ± 140.58 ng/g). Chlortetracycline (15.30 ± 45.44 ng/g), enrofloxacin (0.43 ± 0.93 ng/g), sulfamethazine (0.05 ± 0.02 ng/g) and clarithromycin (0.03 ± 0.03 ng/g) were detected with the highest frequencies within TCs, QNs, SAs, and MLs, respectively. Concentrations of TCs, QNs, and SAs decreased with increasing soil depth. The concentrations of TCs, QNs, and SAs were significantly affected by the intensity of human activities. According to the results of redundancy analysis (RDA), anthropogenic effects on the distribution of antibiotics in soils in winter were so strong that they dwarfed the effects of environmental factors. In summer, human activities and their interactions with environmental factors were the dominant contributors to variations in soil antibiotics. In addition, the results of RDA suggested that soil pH and organic matter closely correlated with the levels of antibiotics, and Actinobacteria was the predominant contributor to the biodegradation of antibiotics in this study area.
