Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is extensively utilized in livestock breeding, aquaculture, and medical industry. TC residues seriously harm food security, the environment, and human health. There is an urgent need to exploit a highly efficient and sensitive testing method to monitor TC residue levels in aquatic environments. In this study, graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-CNQDs) were successfully synthesized by a one-step microwave-assisted method using citric acid and urea as precursors. The as-prepared g-CNQDs with size of 1.25-3.75 nm exhibited bright yellow fluorescence at 523 nm when excited at 397 nm. Interestingly, this characteristic fluorescence emission of g-CNQDs could be selectively and efficiently quenched by TC. Based on this phenomenon, for TC detection was successfully explored and applied in real water samples. Wide linear scope of 7-100 μM, low detection limit (LOD) of 0.48 μM, satisfactory recovery of 97.77%-103.4%, and good relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.05-5.87% were obtained. Mechanism investigations revealed that the static quenching and the inner filter effect (IFE) were responsible for this fluorescence quenching between g-CNQDs and TC. This work not only provided a facile approach for g-CNQDs synthesis but also constructed a g-CNQDs-based fluorescent sensor platform for the highly sensitive and selective detection of TC in aquatic environments.

Vergara-Luis I, Rutkoski CF, Urionabarrenetxea E, Almeida EA, Anakabe E, Olivares M, Soto M, Prieto A. Antimicrobials in Eisenia fetida earthworms: A comprehensive study from method development to the assessment of uptake and degradation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 922:171214. [PMID: 38408672 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
In this work, an accurate analytical method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of twenty-seven antimicrobials (AMs) in earthworms using liquid chromatography coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometry detector (UHPLC-MS/MS). Adequate apparent recoveries (80-120 %) and limits of quantification (LOQ) (1 μg·kg-1 - 10 μg·kg-1) were obtained, with the exception of norfloxacin (34 μg·kg-1). The method was applied to evaluate the accumulation of sulfamethazine (SMZ) and tetracycline (TC) in earthworms after performing OECD-207 toxicity test, in which Eisenia fetida (E. fetida) organisms were exposed to soils spiked with 10 mg·kg-1, 100 mg·kg-1 or 1000 mg·kg-1 of SMZ and TC, individually. The results confirmed the bioaccumulation of both AMs in the organisms, showing a greater tendency to accumulate SMZ since higher bioconcentration factor values were obtained for this compound at the exposure concentrations tested. In addition, the degradation of both AMs in both matrices, soils and earthworms was studied using liquid chromatography coupled to a q-Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry detector. Thirteen transformation products (TPs) were successfully identified, eight of them being identified for the first time in soil/earthworm (such as 4-Amino-3-chloro-n-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide or 4-(dimethylamino)-1,11,12a-trihydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-3,7,10,12-tetraoxo-3,4,4a,5,5a,6,7,10,12,12a-decahydrotetracene-2-carboxamide, among others) and their formation/degradation trend over time was also studied. Regarding the biological effects, only SMZ caused changes in earthworm growth, evidenced by weight loss in earthworms exposed to concentrations of 100 mg·kg-1 and 1000 mg·kg-1. Riboflavin decreased at all concentrations of SMZ, as well as at the highest concentration of TC. This indicates that these antibiotics can potentially alter the immune system of E. fetida. This research represents a significant advance in improving our knowledge about the contamination of soil by AM over time. It investigates the various ways in which earthworms are exposed to AMs, either by skin contact or ingestion. Furthermore, it explores how these substances accumulate in earthworms, the processes by which earthworms break them down or metabolise them, as well as the resulting TPs. Finally, it examines the potential effects of these substances on the environment.

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

Abstract
Abuse of glucocorticoid veterinary drugs in dairy industry can potentially threat milk safety and consequently influence human health. Here a reliable method for determination of 58 glucocorticoid drug residues in milk was established by combining solid phase extraction with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The analytes were extracted with acetonitrile and cleanup with EMR-Lipid lipid removal column. The analytes were chromatographically separated using Poroshell EC-C18 column and acquired by electrospray ionization with multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The limit of quantification (S/N ≥ 10) ranged from 0.2 to 2.0 µg/kg and the limit of detection (S/N ≥ 3) ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 µg/kg. Average recoveries were from 71% to 113%, the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 15%, and the correlation coefficients (R2) of calibration curves exceeded 0.99. The method was applied to detect twenty milk products obtained from local supermarkets including ten pasteurized milk and ten UHT milk. Two endogenous glucocorticoids, i.e. hydrocortisone and cortisone were detected but not exceed the maximum residue limits (MRLs).

Abstract
The growth performance and blood indices of medicated and non-medicated broiler chickens have been the subject of this research coupled with a paucity of comparative information on what can actually happen to broiler chickens if not medicated when reared under humid tropical conditions. One hundred unsexed day-old broilers were randomly and equally allotted into two treatment groups of TM (medicated) and TN (non-medicated) in a completely randomized design each treatment with five replicates having ten birds each. The birds were reared on deep litter system for 56 d which was divided into two phases of 28 d each (starter and finisher), during which data were collected with respect to daily feed intake, final body weight, body weight gained (BWG), mortality rate while blood analysis was carried out on 28th and 56th d for starter and finisher phases, respectively. Non-medicated group served as control. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) and feed conversion efficiency (FCE), were later calculated. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance statistically. There was no significant difference between the medicated and non-medicated broilers for daily feed intake, final body weight, and BWG and also for the blood parameters investigated at starter phase. However, at finisher phase, no significant difference was observed in the daily feed intake of Tm and Tn but there was significant (P < 0.05) difference in the final body weight, BWG, FCR, FCE, and mortality rate between the two groups. Birds on Tm attained higher weight significantly (P < 0.05) than those on TN. BWG, FCR, and FCE followed the same trend and also the mortality rate. White blood cells count of TN was higher significantly (P < 0.05) than TM while TM birds recorded higher packed cell volume, red blood counts, and hemoglobin concentration (Hb) significantly (P < 0.05) than TM birds. Effect of medication was much noticeable at finisher phase as it improved the growth rate though mortality rate was close to that of TN group. These results suggest that broilers can be produced free of medication with good feeding without loss of birds while the growth rate can be enhanced with the use of prebiotics and prebiotics.

Abstract
The persistence of antimicrobial drugs in aquatic environments has raised critical concerns about their possible impact on drinkable water quality and human health. The Nile River is experiencing water pollution owing to increasing discharges of highly contaminated home and industrial effluents and inadequate water management systems. Investigations of the presence of three antimicrobial agents, ciprofloxacin (CIP), sulfamethoxazole (SMZ), and albendazole (ALB), in the Egyptian aquatic system are recommended using a chromatographic method because of their reported existence in the African aquatic environment. In this study, an integrated framework, Efficient Valid Green (EVG), for analytical techniques is proposed and displayed via its radar chart. The EVG framework is achieved through three main pillars: efficiency, validation, and greenness. The proposed EVG-HPLC method was developed and optimized using the AQbD methodology via a face-centered composite (FCC) design by identifying the proper critical method parameters (CMPs) that influence critical quality attributes (CQAs). The method was fully validated according to ICH guidelines, including a factorial robustness study within concentration ranges of 1-100 μg mL-1, 2-100 μg mL-1, and 10-100 μg mL-1 for CIP, SMZ, and ALB, respectively. The proposed method was evaluated in terms of greenness using AGREE (score 0.55) and ComplexGAPI metrics. The optimized chromatographic conditions included a C18 column and a mobile phase of water : acetonitrile : methanol in a ratio of 60 : 19 : 21, v/v/v, respectively, with an aqueous solution of pH 3.5 adjusted with phosphoric acid at a flow rate of 1.57 mL min-1 at 285 nm. The raw water samples collected from Nile River freshwater at different locations were treated using Oasis® PRiME HLB cartridges with satisfactory recoveries for the three analytes (>90%), and the three drugs were detected using the proposed EVG-HPLC method.

Abstract
Baiyangdian Lake is a typical and largest multi-habitat lake in the North plain of China. To understand the generation and transmission of antibiotics resistance genes (ARGs) in multi-habitat lakes, the contents of nutrients (TC, TOC, TN, TP and TS), heavy metals (Zn, Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb, As, Cd and Hg), 22 antibiotics, 16S-rRNA(16S), Class I integron (intI1) and 20 ARGs were determined. Samples were taken from the Fuhe river, river estuaries, reed marshes, living area, fish ponds and open water of Baiyangdian Lake. The results showed that quinolones were the main pollutants in six habitats, and the content range was ND-104.94 ng/g. Thereinto, aac (6') -IB, blaTEM-1, ermF, qnrA, qnrD, tetG, sul1, sul2 and tetM were detected in all the analyzed samples. The absolute abundance of sul1 was the highest (5.25 × 105 copies/g-6.21 × 107 copies/g) in most of the samples. In these different habitats, the abundance of antibiotics and ARGs in river estuary was the highest, and that in reed marshes was the lowest. There was a significant positive correlation between the abundance of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cd, Hg) and the absolute abundance of 11 ARGs (P < 0.01). Redundancy analysis showed that Cu, Zn, intI1, TP and macrolides were the important factors affecting the distribution of ARGs. Our finding provides a more likely driving and influencing factor for the transmission of ARGs in lakes with complex and diverse habitats.

Abstract
Antibiotics are used extensively throughout the world and their presence in the environment has caused serious pollution. This review summarizes natural methods and enhanced technologies that have been developed for antibiotic degradation. In the natural environment, antibiotics can be degraded by photolysis, hydrolysis, and biodegradation, but the rate and extent of degradation are limited. Recently, developed enhanced techniques utilize biological, chemical, or physicochemical principles for antibiotic removal. These techniques include traditional biological methods, adsorption methods, membrane treatment, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), constructed wetlands (CWs), microalgae treatment, and microbial electrochemical systems (such as microbial fuel cells, MFCs). These techniques have both advantages and disadvantages and, to overcome disadvantages associated with individual techniques, hybrid techniques have been developed and have shown significant potential for antibiotic removal. Hybrids include combinations of the electrochemical method with AOPs, CWs with MFCs, microalgal treatment with activated sludge, and AOPs with MFCs. Considering the complexity of antibiotic pollution and the characteristics of currently used removal technologies, it is apparent that hybrid methods are better choices for dealing with antibiotic contaminants.

Abstract
The generalized use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine may cause the development of antibiotic resistance, namely, in farmed fish, and subsequently, transmission of such resistance to humans. To overcome this serious problem, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of antibiotic removal processes from water, and a route for attaining that goal is the use of hydrophobic ionic liquids. LC-MS/MS is an analytical technique with proven utility for pharmaceutical identification and quantification. A methodology for the identification and quantification of five antibiotics, namely ampicillin, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, enrofloxacin and oxytetracycline, from four families, namely β-lactams, phenicols, quinolones and tetracyclines, was developed and validated using one SPE extraction and clean-up step for detection analysis by LC-MS/MS. The selected linear range for each analyte is as follows: 5-200 ng mL-1 for ampicillin; 0.1-200 ng mL-1 for amoxicillin and chloramphenicol; and 1-200 ng mL-1 for enrofloxacin and oxytetracycline, respectively. The limits of detection for each target analyte vary between 0.01 ng mL-1 and 0.81 ng mL-1, and the limits of quantification for each target analyte vary between 0.1 ng mL-1 and 5 ng mL-1 for the five antibiotics under study. The extraction recovery value range is between 89.91% and 100.33%. The validation proved that the developed methodology is suitable for the identification and quantification of ampicillin, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, enrofloxacin and oxytetracycline. After validation, this new assay was successfully applied to a liquid-liquid extraction process using a hydrophobic ionic liquid.

Abstract
To control the drug residues in foods, the national Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) have been determined by the international organizations; however, no regulation has been complied for MRL in food animals in Iran. This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis about studies of antibiotic residues in slaughtered poultry carcasses, in Iran. The information was first collected and analyzed throughout six international databases, and four Iranian national databases. According to the data, the total prevalence of antibiotic residues was obtained as 39.41%, 5.40%, and 0.30% using four-plate test (FPT), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Enzyme-linked immuno_sorbent assay (ELISA) methods, respectively. The highest prevalence of the residues was shown in the liver by both methods of HPLC (47.75%) and ELISA (14.35%). Moreover, the total mean of antibiotics was recorded as 71.03 ppb and 65.86 ppb in different tissues using the HPLC and ELISA method, respectively. Based on this study, we can conclude that the prevalence of antibiotic residue in poultry meat in Iran is high and that this level does not cause health problems for consumers. It is highly recommended to execute tight surveillance strategies from the government in antibiotic monitoring.

Abstract
The increasing pollution of urban drinking water sources by antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) threatens human health worldwide. However, the distribution and influencing factors of ARGs, especially how to reveal the risks of ARGs in this environment remains unclear. Hence, Chaohu Lake was selected as an example to investigate the characteristics of ARGs and explore the interactions among physicochemical factors, microorganisms, and ARGs by metagenomic approach. In this work, 75 ARG subtypes with an average of 30.4 × /Gb (ranging from 15.2 ×/Gb to 57.9 ×/Gb) were identified, and multidrug and bacA were most frequent in Chaohu Lake. Non-random co-occurrence patterns and potential host bacteria of ARGs were revealed through co-occurrence networks. Microbial community and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were the major direct factors in ARG profiles. The dissemination of ARGs was mainly driven by plasmids. Considering the interactions among MGEs, human bacterial pathogens, and ARGs, antibiotic resistome risk index (ARRI) was proposed to manifest the risks of ARGs. Overall, our work systemically investigated the composition and associated factors of ARGs and built ARRI to estimate the potential risks of ARGs in a typical urban drinking water source, providing an intuitive indicator for managing similar lakes.

Abstract
Landfill are important reservoirs of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). They harbor diverse contaminants, such as heavy metals and persistent organic chemicals, complex microbial consortia, and anaerobic degradation processes, which facilitate the occurrence, development, and transfer of ARGs and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB). The main concern is that antibiotics and developed ARGs and ARB may transfer to the local environment via leachate and landfill leakage. In this paper, we provide an overview of established studies on antibiotics and ARGs in landfills, summarize the origins and distribution of antibiotics and ARGs, discuss the linkages among various antibiotics, ARGs, and bacterial communities as well as the influencing factors of ARGs, and evaluate the current treatment processes of antibiotics and ARGs. Finally, future research is proposed to fill the current knowledge gaps, which include mechanisms for the development and transmission of antibiotic resistance, as well as efficient treatment approaches for antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
The high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technique is widely applied to routine analysis in many matrices. Despite the enormous application of LC/MS, this technique is subjected to drawbacks called matrix effects (MEs) that could lead to ion suppression or ion enhancement. This phenomenon can exert a deleterious impact on the ionization efficacy of an analyte and subsequently on the important method performance parameters. LC-MS susceptibility to MEs is the main challenge of this technique in the analysis of complex matrices such as biological and food samples. Nowadays, the assessment, estimation, and overcoming of the MEs before developing a method is mandatory in any analysis. Two main approaches including the post-column infusion and post-extraction spike are proposed to determine the degree of MEs. Different strategies can be adopted to reduce or eliminate MEs depending on the complexity of the matrix. This could be done by improving extraction and clean-up methods, changing the type of ionization employed, optimization of liquid chromatography conditions, and using corrective calibration methods. This review article will provide an overview of the MEs as the Achilles heel of the LC-MS technique, the causes of ME occurrence, their consequences, and systemic approaches towards overcoming MEs during LC-MS-based multi-analyte procedures.

Mass Spectrometric Quantification of the Antimicrobial Peptide Pep19-2.5 with Stable Isotope Labeling and Acidic Hydrolysis. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13091342.

Abstract
Sepsis is the number one cause of death in intensive care units. This life-threatening condition is caused by bacterial infections and triggered by endotoxins of Gram-negative bacteria that leads to an overreaction of the immune system. The synthetic anti-lipopolysaccharide peptide Pep19-2.5 is a promising candidate for the treatment of sepsis as it binds sepsis-inducing lipopolysaccharides and thus prevents initiation of septic shock. For clinical evaluation precise quantification of the peptide in blood and tissue is required. As the peptide is not extractable from biological samples by commonly used methods there is a need for a new analysis method that does not rely on extraction of the peptide. In order to quantify the peptide by mass spectrometry, the peptide was synthesized containing 13C9,15N1-labeled phenylalanine residues. This modification offers high stability during acidic hydrolysis. Following acidic hydrolysis of the samples, the concentration of 13C9,15N1-labeled phenylalanine determined by LC-MS could be unambiguously correlated to the content of Pep19-2.5. Further experiments validated the accuracy of the data. Moreover, the quantification of Pep19-2.5 in different tissues (as studied in Wistar rats) was shown to provide comparable results to the results obtained with radioactively-labeled (14C) Pep19-2.5- Radioactive labeling is considered as the gold standard for quantification of compounds that refrain from reliable extraction methods. This novel method represents a valuable procedure for the determination of Pep19-2.5 and sticky peptides with unpredictable extraction properties in general.

Abstract
Recently, magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) have integrated molecular imprinting technology (MIT) and magnetic separation technology and become a novel material with specific recognition and effective separation of target molecules. Based on their special function, they can be widely used to detect contaminants such as antibiotics. The antibiotic residues in the environment not only cause harm to the balance of the ecosystem but also induce bacterial resistance to specific antibiotics. Given the above consideration, it is especially important to develop sensitive and selective methods for measuring antibiotics in the complex matrix. The combination of MMIPs and conventional analytical methods provides a rapid approach to separate and determine antibiotics residues. This article gives a systematic overview of synthetic approaches of the novel MMIPs materials, briefly introduces their use in sample pretreatment prior to antibiotic detection, and provides a perspective for future research.

Abstract
Human and veterinary pharmaceuticals are being increasingly used for disease treatment; hence, their distribution and factors influencing them in the aquatic environment need to be investigated. This study observed the effect of human and animal populations, usage, purchasing criteria (prescription vs. non-prescription), and land use to identify the spatio-temporal distribution of eight pharmaceuticals at twenty-four sites of the tributaries of the Han River watershed. In rural areas, the mean concentration (detection frequency) of non-prescription pharmaceuticals (NPPs) was higher (lower) compared to that of prescription pharmaceuticals (PPs); in urban areas, a reverse trend was observed. Pharmaceutical concentrations in urban and rural areas were mainly affected by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and non-point sources, respectively; concentrations were higher downstream (4.9 times) than upstream of the WWTPs. The concentration distribution (according to the target) was as follows: human–veterinary > human > veterinary. Correlation between total concentration and total usage of the pharmaceuticals was high, except for NPPs. Most livestock and land use (except cropland) were significantly positively correlated with pharmaceutical concentrations. Concentrations were mainly higher (1.5 times) during cold seasons than during warm seasons. The results of this study can assist policymakers in managing pharmaceutical pollutants while prioritizing emerging pollutants.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of antibiotics in agricultural soils of Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, which is a major agricultural producing area and economically developed region in China. In this study, 105 soil samples including 13 groups of soil profile samples (0-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm) and 23 paired surface soil samples of greenhouse and open-field were collected from four provinces/municipality in 2018. The occurrence of 20 antibiotics, including four tetracyclines (TCs), seven quinolones (QNs), six sulfonamides (SAs) and three macrolides (MLs) were measured. The concentrations of total antibiotics fell in the range of 1.62-575 μg kg-1, with the mean value of 68.8 μg kg-1. TCs and QNs were dominant antibiotics in soil, accounting for 99.6% of the total concentration. Regional differences of antibiotic residues in soil were found among the four regions as well as between different cropping systems. The levels of antibiotics in greenhouse soils (3.52-575 μg kg-1) were higher than those in open-field soils (1.62-142 μg kg-1). In soils of greenhouse of 1-6 years old, the levels of antibiotics were higher than those with longer history (7-30 years). Antibiotics were mainly distributed in the depth of 0-20 cm. The total concentrations of antibiotics/QNs followed the order of 0-20 cm > 40-60 cm > 20-40 cm, due to probably their interactions with total organic carbon and associated bacterial communities. The results in the study will provide data supports for the formulation of soil antibiotic contamination prevention and control measures.

Abstract
RATIONALE Direct analysis in real time (DART) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) detection has become one of the most broadly used analytical approaches for the direct molecular characterization of food samples with regard to their chemical quality, safety, origin, and authentication. The major advantages of DART-MS for food analysis include high chemical sensitivity and specificity, high speed and throughput of analysis, simplicity, and the obviation of tedious sample preparation and solvents. METHODS The recent applications of DART coupled with different mass analyzers, including quadrupole, ion trap, Orbitrap, and time of flight, are discussed. In addition, sample pretreatment methods that have been coupled with DART-MS are discussed. RESULTS We summarize the applications of DART-MS in food science and industry published in the period from 2005 to this date. The applications and analytical characteristics are systematically categorized across the three major types of foods: solid foods, liquid foods, and viscous foods. CONCLUSIONS DART-MS has proved its high suitability for the direct, rapid, and high-throughput molecular analysis of very different food samples with minimal or no sample preparation, thus offering a high-speed alternative to liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) approaches that are traditionally employed in food analysis.

Abstract
Metabolomics is a high precision analytical approach to obtaining detailed information of varieties of metabolites produced in biological systems, including foods. This study reviews the use of metabolomic approaches such as liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS), gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS), matrix assisted laser desorption /ionization tandem time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for investigating the presence of foodborne pathogens and their metabolites. Pathogenic fungi and their notable metabolites (mycotoxins) have been studied more extensively using metabolomics as compared to bacteria, necessitating further studies in this regard. Nevertheless, such identified fungal and bacteria metabolites could be used as biomarkers for a more rapid detection of these pathogens in food. Other important compounds detected through metabolomics could also be correlated to functionality of these pathogenic strains, determined by the composition of the foods in which they exist, thereby providing insights into their metabolism. Considering the prevalence of these food pathogens, metabolomics still has potentials in the determination of food-borne pathogenic microorganisms especially for the determination of pathogenic bacteria toxins and is expected to generate research interests for further studies and applications.

Abstract
Antibiotics, although being amazing compounds, need to be monitored in the environment and foodstuff. This is primarily to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance that may make them ineffective. Unsurprisingly, advances in analyticalsciences that can improve their determination are appreciated. Electrochemical techniques are known for their simplicity, sensitivity, portability and low-cost; however, they are often not selective enough without recurring to a discriminating element like an antibody. Molecular imprinting technology aims to create artificial tissues mimicking antibodies named molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), these retain the advantages of selectivity but without the typical disadvantages of biological material, like limited shelf-life and high cost. This manuscript aims to review all analytical methodologies for antibiotics, using MIPs, where the detection technique is electrochemical, like differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), square-wave voltammetry (SWV) or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). MIPs developed by electropolymerization (e-MIPs) were applied in about 60 publications and patents found in the bibliographic search, while MIPs developed by other polymerization techniques, like temperature assisted ("bulk") or photopolymerization, were limited to around 40. Published works covered the electroanalysis of a wide range of different antibiotics (β-lactams, tetracyclines, quinolones, macrolides, aminoglycosides, among other), in a wide range of matrices (food, environmental and biological).

Abstract
Background:
This study reports an easy method of a veterinary drug investigation in
raw milk, based on QuECHERS extraction followed by RP-HPLC-UV analysis. Use of this
benchtop system was motivated by its availability and moderate cost relatively to other sophisticated
methods such as LC-MS which are more efficient.
Methods:
This developed method has been optimized and then after validation according to EU
legislation, it demonstrated good linearity with R²>0.997, acceptable peak resolution within a short
time (<9.5 min) and good recovery of the analyzed drugs (OXY, ALZ and IVR, respectively
87.08, 99.02 and 92.01 %). Additionally, we applied the method to the analysis of cow milk, collected
in Nouakchott, capital of Mauritania.
Results:
The obtained results indicated a mixed level of drug use according to targeted molecules.
In 42% of sampled farms, the anti-parasitics IVR and ALZ were detected whereas the antibiotic
OXY was detected in 50%.
Conclusion:
This investigation shows that 17% of the sampled farms exceeded European standards
for IVR drug.

Environmental Dissemination of Selected Antibiotics from Hospital Wastewater to the Aquatic Environment. Antibiotics (Basel) 2020; 9:antibiotics9070431. [PMID: 32708321 PMCID: PMC7400012 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics9070431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2020] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The environmental dissemination of selected antibiotics from hospital wastewater into municipal wastewater and lastly to a receiving water body was investigated. Selected antibiotics (azithromycin (AZM), ciprofloxacin (CIP), clindamycin (CDM), doxycycline (DXC) and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ)) present in effluents of academic hospital wastewater, influents, sewage sludge, and effluents of municipal wastewater, receiving water, and its benthic sediment samples were quantified using the Acquity® Waters Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography System hyphenated with a Waters Synapt G2 coupled to a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The overall results showed that all assessed antibiotics were found in all matrices. For solid matrices, river sediment samples had elevated concentrations with mean concentrations of 34,834, 35,623, 50,913, 55,263, and 41,781 ng/g for AZM, CIP, CDM, DXC, and SMZ, respectively, whereas for liquid samples, hospital wastewater and influent of wastewater had the highest concentrations. The lowest concentrations were observed in river water, with mean concentrations of 11, 97, 15, and 123 ng/L, except for CDM, which was 18 ng/L in the effluent of wastewater. The results showed that the highest percentages of antibiotics removed was SMZ with 90%, followed by DXC, AZM and CIP with a removal efficiency of 85%, 83%, and 83%, respectively. The antibiotic that showed the lowest removal percentage was CDM with 66%. However, the calculated environmental dissemination analysis through the use of mass load calculations revealed daily release of 15,486, 14,934, 1526, 922, and 680 mg/d for SMZ, CIP, AZM, DXC, and CDM, respectively, indicating a substantial release of selected antibiotics from wastewater to the river system, where they are possibly adsorbed in the river sediment. Further research into the efficient removal of antibiotics from wastewater and the identification of antibiotic sources in river sediment is needed.

Abstract
Volume overload is a critical limitation in Reversed Phase (RP)-HPLC purification of pharmaceutical compounds. Limited solubility of these materials in most injection solvents leads to large injection volumes in order to maximize throughput. However, peak distortion due to volume overload limits injection amounts, and results in suboptimal use of chromatographic instruments. Volume loading for RP gradient separations was significantly increased by inserting a silica column ahead of the RP separation column. The sole purpose of this column is to dilute the plug of strong injection solvent so that the actual sample constituents are retained when the diluted injection plug arrives at the RP column. This is similar to the concept of a "retention gap" in GC, yet this has never been applied to liquid chromatographic separations. Injection volumes were increased by almost a factor of 3 when using appropriately sized silica columns. A discussion of critical parameters that determine the effectiveness of this approach is provided. The concept is easily applied and does not require any system modifications. It is therefore well suited for open access applications where more instrument intensive approaches, such as "At-Column Dilution", would be less desirable. We will also show that the generic concept which we have titled "In-Column Dilution" can easily be applied to increase the detection sensitivity for analytical application as well by allowing injection of larger sample volumes without peak deterioration for purifications.

Abstract
This study conducted a national scale survey to assess the levels and distributions of 13 commonly used antibiotics and nine antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the greenhouse and open-field agricultural soils in China. The concentrations of antibiotics in the greenhouse and open-field soils were 428 ng/g (n = 51) and 193 ng/g (n = 51), respectively. The abundances of ARGs ranged from 1.15 × 10-7 to 9.78 × 10-2 copies/16S rRNA copies and from <LOD to 4.92 × 10-2 copies/16S rRNA copies in the greenhouse and open-field soils, respectively. The levels of antibiotics in the greenhouse were significantly higher than those in the open-field soils (p < 0.05). The concentrations of antibiotics in eastern and northern China were higher than those in the other regions of China. The abundances of ARGs were relatively higher in Guangdong, Shandong, Beijing, and Liaoning provinces. The sulII, tetA, tetG, tetO, and tetX in the greenhouse soils and sulII, tetG, and tetX in the open-field soils were significantly correlated with the levels of total antibiotics. The intI1 played a key role in the transfer of three classes of ARGs, especially in the greenhouse soils. These may indicate that the ARGs in the greenhouse could be easily affected by antibiotics and intI1 genes compared with those in the open-field soils. This study provides useful information to evaluate pollution of ARGs and contamination management in greenhouse agriculture in China.

Abstract
Heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and other wastes released into the environment can significantly influence environmental antibiotic resistance. We investigated the occurrence of 22 antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and 10 heavy metal concentrations, and the relationship between ARGs and heavy metals in surface sediment from seven sites of Lake Taihu. The results showed significant correlations (p < 0.05) between sediment ARG levels, especially for tetracycline and sulfonamides (e.g., tet(A), tet(D), tet(E), tet(O), sul1, sul2 and int-1) and specific heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cr, Cu, Zn, among others) in the Lake. In the surface sediments, heavy metals showed an interaction with resistance genes, but the strength of interaction was diminished with increasing depth. For most of the heavy metals, the concentration of elements in the top sediments was higher than that in other depths. Tetracycline resistance genes (tet(A), tet(B), tet(D), tet(E) and tet(O), β-lactam resistance genes (SHV, TEM, CTX, OXA and OXY) and sulfonamide resistance genes (sulA, sul1, sul2, sul3 and int-1) were detected. They showed a trend which inferred a statistically significant increase followed by decreases in the relative abundance of these ARGs (normalized to 16S rRNA genes) with increasing depth. This study revealed that tet(A), tet(O), TEM, OXY, int-1, sul1 and sul3 were widespread in surface sediments with high abundance, indicating that these genes deserve more attention in future work.

Abstract
A convenient and high-performance AuNPs@aptamer-modified mercaptosiloxane-based hybrid affinity monolithic column with an unusually high coverage density of aptamers was facilely prepared and used for on-column selective recognition of ochratoxin A (OTA). Due to the high surface-to-volume ratio of AuNPs, the robust conjugation of Au-SH and large specific surface area of hybrid-silica monolith, high coverage density of 5'-SH-aptamers up to 3494 pmol μL-1 was achieved, which was 2.5-10 folds higher than that of other previously reported affinity monoliths modified with AuNPs@Apt. Using OTA as the model analyte, the highly selective recognition of OTA was carried out via online coupling with HPLC, and the cross-reactivity towards analogues, such as OTB and aflatoxin B1, was weak. High recovery yields of OTA were achieved at more than 92% (n = 3) even when OTB was added at a high concentration level up to 50 ng mL-1. For sample analysis, efficient discrimination of OTA was successfully obtained with a sensitive detection limit of 25 pg mL-1. The recoveries of OTA with different fortified levels were achieved at 88.6%-94.1% and 88.2%-94.3% for beer and wine samples, respectively. This protocol provides a facile approach for fabricating a desirable affinity monolith modified with abundant aptamers for highly selective and sensitive on-column extraction of target analyte OTA.

Abstract
The potential threat of antibiotics to the environment and human health has raised significant concerns in recent years. The consumption and production of antibiotics in China are the highest in the world due to its rapid economic development and huge population, possibly resulting in the high detection frequencies and concentrations of antibiotics in aquatic environments of China. As a water resource, lakes in China play an important role in sustainable economic and social development. Understanding the current state of antibiotics in lakes in China is important. Closed and semi-closed lakes provide an ideal medium for the accumulation of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This review summarizes the current levels of antibiotic exposure in relevant environmental compartments in lakes. The ecological and health risks of antibiotics are also evaluated. This review concludes that 39 antibiotics have been detected in the aquatic environments of lakes in China. The levels of antibiotic contamination in lakes in China is relatively high on the global scale. Antibiotic contamination is higher in sediment than water and aquatic organisms. Quinolone antibiotics (QNs) pose the greatest risks. The contents of antibiotics in aquatic organisms are far lower than their maximum residual limits (MRLs), with the exception of the organisms in Honghu Lake. The lakes experience high levels of ARG contamination. A greater assessment of ARG presence and antibiotic exposure are urgent.

Abstract
Antimicrobial and antibiotics resistance caused by misuse or overuse of antibiotics exposure is a growing and significant threat to global public health. The spread and horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) by the selective pressure of antibiotics in an aquatic environment is a major public health issue. To develop a better understanding of potential ecological risks die to antibiotics and ARGs, this study mainly summarizes research progress about: (i) the occurrence, concentration, fate, and potential ecological effects of antibiotics and ARGs in various aquatic environments, (ii) the threat, spread, and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of ARGs, and (iii) the relationship between antibiotics, ARGs, and ARB. Finally, this review also proposes future research direction on antibiotics and ARGs.

[PMID: 29573149 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.201701510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2017] [Revised: 03/07/2018] [Accepted: 03/08/2018] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Seven drugs from different classes, namely, fluoroquinolones (enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, sarafloxacin), sulfonamides (sulfadimidine, sulfamonomethoxine), and macrolides (tilmicosin, tylosin), were used as test compounds in chickens by oral administration, a simple extraction step after cryogenic freezing might allow the effective extraction of multi-class veterinary drug residues from minced chicken muscles by mix vortexing. On basis of the optimized freeze-thaw approach, a convenient, selective, and reproducible liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method was developed. At three spiking levels in blank chicken and medicated chicken muscles, average recoveries of the analytes were in the range of 71-106 and 63-119%, respectively. All the relative standard deviations were <20%. The limits of quantification of analytes were 0.2-5.0 ng/g. Regardless of the chicken levels, there were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in the average contents of almost any of the analytes in medicated chickens between this method and specific methods in the literature for the determination of specific analytes. Finally, the developed method was successfully extended to the monitoring of residues of 55 common veterinary drugs in food animal muscles.

Abstract
Poultry production is among the most rapidly growing industries around the globe, and poultry is one of the major sources of meat. Poultry farmers use disease preventive and growth promoter antibiotics for faster growth of chickens in the shortest possible time to increase the rate of feed assimilation and to lower the incidence of mortality caused by a pathogen attack. Antibiotics may result in dysfunctionality of beneficial gut microbiota and increase resistance among microbial pathogens in poultry. Residues of these antibiotics in poultry meat have been determined in many of the studies globally and are considered one of the possible causes of antibacterial resistance in human pathogens. The presence of residues of antibiotics in poultry meat and meat products beyond maximum permissible limits is a matter of serious concern. Heat treatments can reduce the risk of some sulfonamides, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolones but do not guarantee the complete elimination or degradation of these antibiotic residues present in broiler meat. Some of the developed countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and the European Union have already prohibited the application of antibiotics for preventive, as well as growth-promoting purposes. Training farmers to monitor withdrawal periods, banning the use of antibiotics as growth promoters, and adopting the veterinary feed directive of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are important parameters to mitigate the emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria related to poultry production.

CHEMOSPHERE 2018; 192:234-243. [PMID: 29107874 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2017.10.131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2017] [Revised: 10/16/2017] [Accepted: 10/24/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the migration of antibiotics (norfloxacin, NOR; and sulfamethoxazole, SMX) under simulated resuspension conditions across the sediment-water interface were quantified for two locations in China: point A, located in Meiliang Bay of Lake Taihu, and point B, located in Dapukou of Lake Taihu. The concentrations of suspended solids (SS) in the overlying water amounted to 100, 500, and 1000 mg/L during background, moderate, and strong simulated wind-wave disturbances, respectively. At each SS level, the initial concentrations of the two antibiotics were set to 1, 5, and 10 mg/L. The results showed that both resuspended SS and the initial concentration of antibiotics could influence the migration of NOR in the water-sediment system. Specifically, both higher SS and initial antibiotic concentrations were associated with higher rates of migration and accumulation of NOR from water to sediment. In contrast, the migration of SMX in the water-sediment system was not impacted by SS or initial antibiotic concentration. The adsorption capacities of sediments for NOR and SMX were significantly different at both locations, possibly reflecting differences in cation exchange capacity (CEC) and organic material (OM) contents. In general, higher CEC and OM values were found in sediments with a higher adsorption capacity for the antibiotics. When CEC and OM values of sediments were higher, the adsorption capacity reached up to 51.73 mg/kg. Large differences in the migration from water to sediment were observed for the two antibiotics, with NOR migration rates higher than those of SMX. The accumulation of NOR in surface sediment during resuspension was about 14 times higher than that of SMX. The main reason for this is that the chemical adsorption of NOR is seldom reversible. Overall, this study demonstrates that resuspension of NOR and SMX attached to sediments under simulated wind-wave disturbances can promote the migration of the antibiotics from water to sediment; these results could be useful for assessing the migration and fate of commonly used antibiotics in water-sediment systems.

Abstract
This study focused on the occurrence and spatial distribution of 13 common antibiotics in the agricultural soils of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), China. Antibiotics were detected in all the 241 soil samples (i.e., 100% detection rate) with the total concentrations ranging from 4.55 to 2,010 ng/g dry weight. The concentrations of three antibiotic classes decreased in the order: quinolones (mean 48.8 ng/g) > tetracyclines (mean 34.9 ng/g) > sulfonamides (mean 2.35 ng/g). Ciprofloxacin was the prevalent compound with a mean concentration of 27.7 ng/g, followed by oxytetracycline (mean of 18.9 ng/g). A distinct spatial distribution was observed, where high concentrations of antibiotics were detected in the sites adjacent to the livestock and poultry farms. The potential sources of antibiotics in the agricultural soils were the application of manure and wastewater irrigation in this region. Risk assessment for single antibiotic compound indicated that tetracyclines and quinolones could pose a potential risk, in which doxycycline and ciprofloxacin had the most severe ecological effect in the agricultural soils. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), such as tetA, sulI, and qnrS, were detected in 15 analyzed soil samples, and sulI showed significant correlations with quinolones, tetracyclines, copper, and zinc. Further studies on the distribution of other ARGs in agricultural soil at a region-scale are needed for the risk management of extensively used antibiotics and major ARGs.
