Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations between prenatal antibiotics exposure and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in preschoolers, and the role of maternal vitamin D in these associations, remain to be explored. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the relationships between multiple maternal urinary antibiotics levels and preschoolers' ADHD symptoms, and to identify the potential modifying effects of maternal vitamin D. METHODS Based on a prospective birth cohort, the present study included 2033 motherchild pairs. Maternal urine and serum samples were collected during all three trimesters to measure the urinary concentrations of 43 antibiotics (including two metabolites) and the serum vitamin D levels. The ADHD symptoms of preschoolers were assessed using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-oriented ADHD problems scale in the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist. Multiple informant models in the form of logistic regression were conducted to investigate the associations between prenatal antibiotics exposure and preschooler ADHD symptoms, and these associations were stratified by child sex and maternal vitamin D status. RESULTS Compared with the lowest tertile concentrations, maternal exposure to the middle tertile concentrations of doxycycline and human antibiotics/preferred as human antibiotics (HAs/PHAs), and the highest tertile concentrations of doxycycline during the first trimester were associated with an increased risk of ADHD symptoms in children. An increased risk of ADHD symptoms was observed in girls exposed to the highest tertile levels of sulfamethazine during the second trimester. Furthermore, pregnant women with vitamin D deficiency have a greater risk of ADHD symptoms in their offspring after exposure to doxycycline in the first trimester. CONCLUSIONS Maternal exposure to doxycycline and HAs/PHAs during the first trimester increases the risk of ADHD symptoms in preschoolers. Mid-pregnancy sulfamethazine exposure increases the risk of ADHD symptoms in girls. Maternal vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy may exacerbate the adverse effects of doxycycline exposure on ADHD symptoms.

Association between maternal antibiotic exposure and emotional and behavioural problems in children at four years of age: A biomonitoring-based prospective study. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 284:116949. [PMID: 39208579 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116949] [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: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 08/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/24/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal exposure to multiple antibiotics exposure during pregnancy has attracted extensive attention, but biomonitoring studies linking prenatal antibiotic exposure to emotional and behavioural problems in children are limited. METHODS A total of 2475 pregnant women from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort were included, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was completed when their children turned four years of age. The levels of 41 maternal urinary antibiotics and two metabolites were measured during the first, second and third trimesters. Generalized estimating equations and binary logistic regression models were applied to analyse the associations between maternal antibiotic exposure and emotional and behavioural problems in children and to determine the sensitive period, respectively. A quantile-based g-computation (QGC) approach was employed to examine the combined effects of multiple antibiotics on emotional and behavioural problems in children. RESULTS Overall, florfenicol and preferred-as-veterinary antibiotic (PVA) exposure during pregnancy increased the risk of emotional problems in children, and ofloxacin exposure increased the risk of hyperactivity-inattention. Maternal exposure to trimethoprime, ciprofloxacin, florfenicol, other antibiotics and PVA exposure during the first trimester was positively associated with emotional problems in children. Second-trimester trimethoprime concentrations and third-trimester ciprofloxacin concentrations were positively associated with hyperactivity-inattention. Third-trimester veterinary antibiotic (VA) exposure was negatively associated with hyperactivity-inattention, and second-trimester VA and PVA exposure was negatively associated with peer problems. The QGC model revealed that mixed antibiotic exposure in the first trimester exacerbated the risk of childhood emotional problems (the contribution of ciprofloxacin is prominent), and mixed antibiotic exposure in the second trimester increased the risk of hyperactivity-inattention (the contribution of trimethoprime is prominent). CONCLUSION Maternal mixed antibiotic exposure during the first and second trimesters increases the risk of emotional problems and hyperactivity-inattention in children at four years of age.

Prenatal antibiotics exposure and preschoolers' internalizing and externalizing problems: A biomonitoring-based prospective birth cohort study. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 919:170891. [PMID: 38346651 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170891] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomonitoring-based epidemiological studies on prenatal antibiotic exposure and behavioral problems in preschoolers are lacking. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between prenatal antibiotic exposure and internalizing and externalizing problems in preschoolers. METHODS Data from 2449 mother-child pairs were analyzed. Urine samples were repeatedly collected across three trimesters, and 43 antibiotics and 2 metabolites were measured, including preferred as veterinary antibiotics (PVAs), VAs, preferred as human antibiotics and human antibiotics. Preschoolers' internalizing and externalizing problems were evaluated by the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist. Poisson regression models with generalized estimating equations were used to estimate risk ratios (RRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for preschoolers' internalizing, externalizing and total problems across tertiles of antibiotic concentrations during three periods of pregnancy, and performed several subgroup analyses. RESULTS First-trimester urinary oxytetracycline (RR = 1.69, 95%CI: 1.20, 2.39, P-FDR = 0.011), tetracycline (RR = 1.91, 95%CI: 1.36, 2.68, P-FDR < 0.001), doxycycline (RR = 1.66, 95%CI: 1.28, 2.17, P-FDR < 0.001) and PVAs (RR = 1.79, 95%CI: 1.29, 2.48, P-FDR < 0.001) concentrations in the highest tertile were related to an elevated risk of internalizing problems compared with concentrations in the lowest tertile. First-trimester urinary doxycycline concentrations in the third tertile were also associated with an increased risk of externalizing problems compared with the first tertile (RR = 2.00, 95%CI: 1.28, 3.15, P-FDR = 0.042). Compared with concentrations in the lowest tertile, first-trimester urinary doxycycline (RR = 1.63, 95%CI: 1.19, 2.22, P-FDR = 0.028) and PVAs (RR = 1.67, 95%CI: 1.14, 2.43, P-FDR = 0.047) concentrations in the middle tertile were related to an increased risk of total problems. Furthermore, the type of main caregiver and children's outdoor activities time modified the relationships between specific prenatal antibiotic exposure and preschoolers' behavioral problems. CONCLUSIONS Exposure to specific antibiotics during the first trimester may be related to an increased risk of internalizing and externalizing problems in preschoolers.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:6350-6371. [PMID: 38148462 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-31475-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
Few studies have explored the relationship between antibiotic exposure and sleep in newlyweds. We applied the actor-partner interdependence moderation model to estimate the relationships of antibiotic exposure with nighttime sleep duration (weekday, weekend, and average sleep durations) and daytime sleepiness in newlyweds. We found that 99.0% of the 2698 enrolled individuals were exposed to at least one antibiotic. Among the newlyweds, exposure to florfenicol (β, - 0.077; 95% confidence interval [CI], - 0.143, - 0.011), exposure to chloramphenicols (- 0.086 [- 0.160, - 0.011]), and exposure to veterinary antibiotics (VAs) (- 0.106 [- 0.201, - 0.010]) were negatively associated with weekday sleep duration. Florfenicol, chloramphenicols, and VAs were also inversely related to average sleep duration in the newlyweds. Ciprofloxacin and cyadox exposure was significantly associated with an increase of 0.264 (0.030, 0.497) and (0.375 [0.088, 0.663]) Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores in the newlyweds, respectively. Gender moderated the actor-partner effects of erythromycin and tetracyclines on the newlyweds' weekday sleep duration and ESS scores. Overall, exposure to florfenicol, chloramphenicols, and VAs shortened weekday and average sleep durations of newlyweds. Exposure to ciprofloxacin and cyadox promoted daytime sleepiness. Gender moderated the actor-partner effects of specific antibiotics on the weekday sleep duration and ESS scores of the newlyweds.

Preconception exposure to environmental antibiotics among childbearing couples in Anhui and health risk assessment: A multicenter population-based representative study. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 265:115514. [PMID: 37783111 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115514] [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: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
Only few studies have assessed the health effects due to preconception exposure to antibiotics among childbearing couples. This study investigated the status of preconception exposure to antibiotics among childbearing couples in Anhui, associated with health risks, and influencing factors. Overall, 1500 childbearing couples were randomly selected from the Reproductive Health of Childbearing Couples - Anhui Cohort (RHCC-AC). The urinary levels of 40 antibiotics and 2 metabolites were determined, and specific gravity (SG) adjusted concentrations of antibiotics were measured to assess health risks. Generalized linear models were used to assess the associations of urinary SG-adjusted concentration of antibiotics with demographic parameters and diet frequency. The total detection rates of all antibiotics were 98.9 % and 99.3 % in wives and husbands, respectively. The detection rates of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) and preferred as VAs (PVAs) were above 90 %. Among eight antibiotics, sulfonamides (95.1 %) and fluoroquinolones (87.6 %) had the highest detection rates in couples. Approximately four-fifths of couples were simultaneously exposed to at least three different antibiotics, and more than half of them were exposed to low concentrations of antibiotics. 8.9 % and 9.2 % of wives and husbands had hazard index value of antibiotics exposure greater than 1. Antibiotic concentrations were associated with residence, sampling season, and diet frequency. In Anhui, nearly 98 % of childbearing couples have environmental exposure to antibiotics, and VAs and PVAs are the primary antibiotics. More than 8 % of couples had health risks due to antibiotic exposure. Several potential determinants of urinary antibiotics deserve more attention in future research.

Abstract
Human rotavirus (HRV) is an enteric virus that causes infantile diarrhea. However, the risk factors contributing to HRV colonization in young adults have not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we compared the differences in dietary habits and composition of gut microbiota between asymptomatic HRV-infected young adults and their healthy counterparts and investigated potential risk factors contributing to HRV colonization. Our results indicated that asymptomatic HRV-infected adults had an excessive intake of milk and dairy and high levels of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) and preferred veterinary antibiotic (PVAs) residues in urine samples. Their gut microbiota is characterized by abundant Gram-negative (G-) bacteria and high concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Several opportunistic pathogens provide discriminatory power to asymptomatic, HRV-infected adults. Finally, we observed an association between HRV colonization and disrupted gut microbiota caused by the exposure to VAs and PVAs. Our study reveals the traits of disrupted gut microbiota in asymptomatic HRV-infected adults and provides a potential avenue for gut microbiota-based prevention strategies for HRV colonization.

ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2023; 45:3865-3889. [PMID: 36595097 DOI: 10.1007/s10653-022-01467-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Emerging studies have shown that environmental contaminants were related to decreased handgrip strength. Nevertheless, no prior research has investigated the relationship of exposure to environmental antibiotics with grip strength. Thus, we explored the relationship between urinary antibiotic burden and grip strength among the elderly in China. This study consisted of 451 men and 539 women from the baseline survey of a cohort study. Commonly used antibiotics for humans and animals were detected in 990 urine samples through a biomonitoring method. Grip strength was measured by an electronic dynamometer. We examined the associations of antibiotic exposure with low grip strength (LGS), grip strength, and grip strength index, respectively. Results suggested that 34.9% of participants developed LGS, and 93.0% of individuals were exposed to 1-10 antibiotics. Among women, oxytetracycline (Quartile 2: odds ratio: 2.97, 95% confidence interval: 1.36-6.50), florfenicol (Quartile 3: 2.60 [1.28-5.27]), fluoroquinolones (Quartile 4: 1.88 [1.07-3.30]), and chloramphenicols (Quartile 3: 2.73 [1.35-5.51]) could enhance LGS risk. Among men, ofloxacin (Quartile 2: 3.32 [1.45-7.59]) increased LGS risk, whereas tetracycline (Quartile 2: 0.31 [0.11-0.88]) was implicated in reduced LGS risk. In participants < 70 years, ofloxacin (Quartile 2: 3.00 [1.40-6.42]) could increase LGS risk. For participants who were 70 years of age or older, veterinary antibiotics (Quartile 3: 1.73 [1.02-2.94]) were linked to a 73% increased risk of LGS. Our findings suggested that antibiotics mainly pertained to LGS, and there were gender and age disparities in associations between antibiotic exposure and muscle strength indicators in the elderly Chinese population.

Abstract
Objective Rotavirus (RV), one of non-enveloped double-strained RNA viruses, can cause infantile diarrheal illness. It is widely accepted that RV is transmitted mainly via feces-oral route. However, infected asymptomatic adults are becoming the source of infection. It is necessary to explore the underlying mechanism of RV replication in adult's intestine. Methods After recruiting healthy volunteers and RV asymptomatic carriers, we firstly investigated the association of animal-derived food intake with antibiotic level in urine samples. Secondly, we compared the difference in the structure of gut microbiota, and identified the taxa that most likely explained the difference. Finally, we investigated the impact of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), produced by gram-negative bacteria, on RV replication in vivo and in vitro. Results We found that 10% of participants were RV asymptomatic carriers in our study. High intake of animal-derived food was positively correlated to antibiotic level in urine samples. The disrupted gut microbiota in RV carriers was characterized by high abundance of antibiotic resistant gram-negative bacteria and high level of LPS. The disrupted gut microbiota caused by penicillin treatment was benefit to RV replication in vivo. LPS enhanced RV thermal stability in vitro. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the imbalanced gut microbiota caused by antibiotic exposure plays an important role in RV replication, and brings risk to health complications.

Association between antibiotic exposure and the risk of infertility in women of childbearing age: A case-control study. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 249:114414.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Based on self-report questionnaires, two previous epidemiological studies investigated the association between the exposure of women to antibiotics and their fertility. However, biomonitoring studies on low-dose antibiotic exposure, mainly from food and water, and its relation to the risk of infertility are missing. METHODS Based on a case-control study design, 302 women with infertility (144 primary infertility, 158 secondary infertility) and 302 women with normal fertility, all aged 20-49 years, were recruited from Anhui Province, China, in 2020 and 2021. A total of 41 common antibiotics and two antibiotic metabolites in urine samples were determined by liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-QqQ-MS/MS). RESULTS Twenty-eight antibiotics with detection rates from 10% to 100% in both cases (median concentration: ∼2.294 ng/mL) and controls (∼1.596 ng/mL) were included in the analysis. Logistic regression analysis revealed that after controlling for confounding factors, high concentrations of eight individual antibiotics (sulfamethoxazole, sulfaclozine, sulfamonomethoxine, penicillin G, chlorotetracycline, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and cyadox) and four antibiotic classes (sulfonamides, tetracyclines, quinoxalines, and veterinary antibiotics) were related to a high risk of female infertility, with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 1.30 to 2.86, except for chlorotetracycline (OR = 6.34), while another nine individual antibiotics (sulfamethazine, azithromycin, cefaclor, amoxicillin, oxytetracycline, pefloxacin, sarafloxacin, enrofloxacin, and florfenicol) and classes of chloramphenicol analogs and human antibiotics were related to a reduced risk of infertility, with ORs ranging from 0.70 to 0.20. Based on restricted cubic spline models after controlling for confounding factors, we observed that the relationship between all of the above protective antibiotics and infertility was nonlinear: A certain concentration could reduce the risk of female infertility while exceeding a safe dose could increase the risk of infertility. CONCLUSION These results provide preliminary evidence that the effects of antibiotics on female fertility vary based on the active ingredient and usage and imply the importance of exposure dose. Future studies are needed to verify these results by controlling for multiple confounding factors.

Exposure to Veterinary Antibiotics via Food Chain Disrupts Gut Microbiota and Drives Increased Escherichia coli Virulence and Drug Resistance in Young Adults. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11091062. [PMID: 36145494 PMCID: PMC9500718 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11091062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Exposure to veterinary antibiotics (VAs) and preferred as veterinary antibiotics (PVAs) via the food chain is unavoidable for their extensive use not only for treating bacterial infections, but also for use as growth promoters in livestock and aquaculture. One of the consequences is the disturbance of gut microbiota. However, its impact on the virulence and drug resistance of opportunistic pathogens is still unclear. In this study, a total of 26 antibiotics were detected in the urine of 300 young undergraduates in Anhui Province. We found that excessive intake of milk was positively correlated to high levels of VAs and PVAs. It led to the dysbiosis of gut microbiota characterized by high abundance of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria. The increase in Proteobacteria was mainly due to a single operational taxonomic unit (OTU) of Escherichia coli (E. coli). We isolated several E. coli strains from participants and compared their drug resistance and virulence using PCR assay and virulence-related assays. We observed that exposure to high levels of VAs and PVAs induced more resistant genes and drove E. coli strain to become more virulent. At last, we conducted transcriptome analysis to investigate the molecular mechanism of virulent and drug-resistant regulators in the highly virulent E. coli strain. We noted that there were multiple pathways involved in the drug resistance and virulence of the highly virulent strain. Our results demonstrated that participants with high-level VAs and PVAs exposure have a disrupted gut microbiota following the appearance of highly drug-resistant and virulent E. coli and, therefore may be at elevated risk for long-term health complications.

Urinary tetracycline antibiotics exposure during pregnancy and maternal thyroid hormone parameters: A repeated measures study. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 838:156146. [PMID: 35605876 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.156146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on potential maternal thyrotoxicity related to tetracycline antibiotics exposure during pregnancy are lacking. Based on a large prospective cohort study, this study aimed to examine the associations between tetracycline antibiotics exposure in maternal urine and maternal thyroid hormone parameters. METHODS Based on the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort study, urine and serum samples of 2969 pregnant women were collected in the first, second and third trimesters. Tetracycline antibiotics, including oxytetracycline, chlorotetracycline, tetracycline and doxycycline in urine samples, as well as free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), total triiodothyronine (TT3) and total thyroxine (TT4) levels in serum samples, were measured. Linear mixed models and multivariate linear regression models were employed to examine associations between tetracycline antibiotics exposure during pregnancy and maternal thyroid hormone parameters. RESULTS The detection rates of four individual tetracycline antibiotics and all antibiotics (sum of four individual tetracycline antibiotics) in the three trimesters were 5.0%-52.3%, and the 95th percentile concentration ranged from 0.11 to 4.84 ng/mL. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the repeated measures analyses indicated that pregnant women exposed to doxycycline and all antibiotics during the entire pregnancy were negatively associated with serum FT4 and TT4 levels but positively associated with serum TSH and TT3 levels. Trimester-stratified analyses found that doxycycline and all antibiotics exposure during the first trimester were negatively associated with serum FT4 and TT4 levels, while doxycycline was positively associated with TSH levels. In the third trimester, a significant association was only found between all antibiotics and TSH levels. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that exposure of pregnant women to tetracycline antibiotics is associated with maternal thyroid hormone parameters, and the first trimester might be the most critical window. More studies are needed to substantiate our findings and determine the underlying biological mechanisms.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 242:113889. [PMID: 35853362 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Growing evidence has indicated the association of clinical antibiotic use with abnormal blood lipid levels; however, no epidemiological study has examined the relationship of antibiotic exposure, probably derived from food chains, with blood lipid levels. This study investigated the relationships of urinary antibiotic levels with blood lipid levels and dyslipidemias in the older population. Baseline data of 960 participants from the Cohort of Elderly Health and Environment Controllable Factors were used in the present study. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was performed to detect antibiotic residues in the urine samples of the participants. Our findings revealed that each 1 μg/g increase in enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin levels was associated with an increase of 0.084 (95 % confidence interval (CI): 0.030, 0.139) and 0.049 (95 % CI: 0.012, 0.086) in triglyceride levels, respectively. Enrofloxacin was associated with an increased risk of hypertriglyceridemia. Each 1 μg/g increase in the enrofloxacin level corresponded to an increase of 0.052 (95 % CI: 0.006, 0.098) in the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level. Furthermore, florfenicol exposure increased the risks of both hyperbetalipoproteinemia and hypoalphalipoproteinemia. By contrast, each 1 μg/g increase in sulfaclozine and doxycycline levels was associated with a - 0.062 (95 % CI: -0.111, -0.020), and - 0.083 (95 % CI: -0.160, -0.007) decrease in total cholesterol levels, respectively. Sulfaclozine was closely related to a decreased risk of hypercholesterolemia. Stratification analysis revealed specific differences in the correlation between antibiotic exposure and lipid levels based on the waist circumference (WC) values of the participants. Except for sulfaclozine and doxycycline, other antibiotics exerted adverse effects on lipid levels and increased dyslipidemia prevalence. The older participants with higher WC values were vulnerable to antibiotic exposure. Therefore, an appropriate understanding of the epidemiological attributes of antibiotic residues is indispensable to prevent abdominal obesity in the older population.

Environmental antibiotics exposure in school-age children in Shanghai and health risk assessment: A population-based representative investigation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 824:153859. [PMID: 35176387 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The widespread use of antibiotics has left extensive residues in the environment and food. Antibiotics can accumulate in human body. As the potential health risks of antibiotic exposure in children are of a great concern in recent years, our study aimed to describe the status of antibiotic exposure in primary school students in Shanghai, China, and to explore the relationships of dietary patterns with internal antibiotic levels. METHODS The Shanghai Children's Health, Education, and Lifestyle Evaluation (SCHEDULE) Survey was a cross-sectional study with a staged, cluster random sample of all primary school students in Shanghai, China. In the present study, we randomly selected 2199 children aged 6-12 years old. A total of 10 antibiotics in urine samples were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Multivariable survey logistic regression models were used to investigate dietary patterns associated with detection rates of antibiotics. RESULTS The detection rates of individual antibiotics ranged from 4.3% to 30.7%. 68.7% of children were exposed to at least one antibiotic. There was a significant difference in child exposure to overall antibiotics by residential locations (60.9% in urban vs. 71.1% in suburban areas). Principal component analyses suggested that higher unhealthy dietary pattern scores were significantly associated with increased detection rates of tetracyclines [1.27 (95% CI: 1.18, 1.38)] and sulfonamides [1.20 (95% CI: 1.05, 1.36)]. In addition, 9.05% of children had a hazard index (HI) value greater than 1, which was mainly contributed by ciprofloxacin. CONCLUSIONS School-age children were widely exposed to antibiotics in Shanghai. Unhealthy diet was associated with a higher level of antibiotic exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Based on a medical record or questionnaire survey approach, previous epidemiological studies have investigated associations between maternal antibiotic exposure during pregnancy and childhood allergic diseases. However, biomonitoring studies on the prenatal low-dose antibiotic exposure, mainly from the environment and contaminated food, and in relation to children allergic diseases, are missing. OBJECTIVES This research aimed to examine the associations between prenatal low-dose antibiotic exposure measured at multiple time points and children current allergic diseases at 4 years of age. METHODS The current study including 2453 mother-child pairs was based on the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort study. Selected 41 antibiotics and their two metabolites, which including human antibiotics (HAs), preferred as human antibiotics (PHAs), veterinary antibiotics (VAs) and preferred as veterinary antibiotics (PVAs), in urine samples from 2453 pregnant women were biomonitored through liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. Information on children current allergic diseases were collected via validated questionnaires. Generalized estimating equation were used to explore the associations between the repeated measurements of maternal urinary antibiotic over three trimesters and current allergic diseases in children. RESULTS The detection rates of nine individual antibiotics in the three trimester during pregnancy are greater than 10%, and the 90th percentile concentration of the detected antibiotics ranges from 0.07 to 22.34 µg/g, and the 95th percentile concentration ranges from 0.17 to 59.57 µg/g. Among the participants, each one-unit concentration increment of sulfamethazine (adjusted OR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.49, P-FDR=0.014) in the first trimester and ciprofloxacin (adjusted OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.07, 1.28, P-FDR=0.008) in the second trimester were associated with an increased risk of current eczema in children. In the third trimester, each one-unit concentration increment of oxytetracycline (adjusted OR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.30, 2.78, P-FDR=0.014) was associated with an increased risk of current asthma in children. Gender-stratified analyses demonstrated that no gender differences were observed in the associations between prenatal antibiotic exposure and current allergic diseases in children. CONCLUSIONS Maternal exposure to certain specific VAs or PVAs (sulfamethazine, ciprofloxacin and oxytetracycline) in different trimesters was associated with an increased risk of current asthma and current eczema in 4-year-old children. No gender differences were found in these associations. Further studies are warranted to confirm our findings and explore the potential mechanisms.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 210:111863. [PMID: 33406447 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2020] [Revised: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental and epidemiological studies have linked antibiotics use to gut dysbiosis-mediated risk of chronic metabolic diseases. However, whether adiposity is linked to antibiotic exposure in elderly remains inadequately understood. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between internal exposure of antibiotics and adiposity in elderly by using a biomonitoring method. METHODS We included 990 participants (≥60 years) from the baseline survey of the Cohort of Elderly Health and Environment Controllable Factors in Lu'an city, China, from June to September 2016. Forty-five antibiotics and two metabolites in urine were monitored through liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Creatinine-corrected urinary concentrations were used to assess antibiotic exposure levels. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and body fat percentage (BFP) were used as indicators of adiposity. Multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the association of antibiotic concentrations with obesity-related indices. Subsequently, a gender-stratified analysis was performed. RESULTS Of the included elderly, 50.7% were defined as having overweight/ obesity, 59.8% as having central preobesity/obesity, and 37.5% as having slightly high/high BFP. Linear regression analysis revealed that a 1-unit increase in the logarithmic transformation of norfloxacin concentrations was related with an increase of 0.29 kg/m2 (95% CI: 0.02-0.04), 0.99 cm (95% CI:0.24-1.75), and 0.69% (95% CI:0.21-1.17) in BMI, WC, and BFP, respectively. Compared with the control group, exposure to doxycycline (tertile 2: odds ratio, 2.06 [95% CI: 1.12-3.76]) and norfloxacin (tertile 2: 2.13 [1.05-4.29]; tertile 3: 2.07 [1.03-4.17]) had BMI-based overweight/obesity risk. Additionally, ciprofloxacin (tertile 2: 2.06 [1.12-3.76]), norfloxacin (tertile 3: 2.95 [1.34-6.49]), and florfenicol (tertile 3: 1.84 [1.07-3.14]) were related to WC-based central preobesity/obesity risk. Norfloxacin (tertile 3: 2.54 [1.23-5.24]) was positively associated with a slightly high/high BFP risk. Gender-stratified analysis demonstrated an increased adiposity risk in women compared with men. CONCLUSIONS Our research provided an evidence that exposure to specific types of antibiotics (tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones) probably from the food chain contributed to obesity in elderly. Prospective cohort studies with larger sample size are warrented to explore the causation.

Penot M, Linard C, Taudon N. A Validated Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling-Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method to Quantify Doxycycline Levels in Urine: An Application to Monitor the Malaria Chemoprophylaxis Compliance. JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL METHODS IN CHEMISTRY 2020; 2020:8868396. [PMID: 33489416 PMCID: PMC7787799 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8868396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 11/12/2020] [Accepted: 11/26/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Because of logistics and cost constraints, monitoring of the compliance to antimalarial chemoprophylaxis by the quantitation of drugs in biological samples is not a simple operation on the field. Indeed, analytical devices are fragile to transport and must be used in a perfectly controlled environment. This is also the case for reagents and supplies, and the waste management is constraining. Thus, samples should be repatriated. They should be frozen after collection and transported with no rupture in the cold chain. This is crucial to generate available and interpretable data but often without any difficulties. Hence, to propose an alternative solution easier to implement, a quantitation method of determining doxycycline in urine has been validated using a volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS®) device. As blotting paper, the device is dried after collection and transferred at room temperature, but contrarily to dried spot, the collection volume is perfectly repeatable. Analysis of VAMS® was performed with a high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a core-shell C18 column. The mean extraction recovery was 109% (mean RSD, 5.4%, n = 6) for doxycycline and 102% (mean RSD, 7.0%) for the internal standard. No matrix effect has been shown. Within-run as within-day precision and accuracy were, respectively, below 14% and ranged from 96 to 106%. The signal/concentration ratio was studied in the 0.25-50 µg/mL range, and recoveries from back-calculated concentrations were in the 96-105% range (RSD < 11.0%). The RSD on slope was 10%. To achieve the validation, this new quantitation method was applied to real samples. In parallel, samples were analyzed directly after a simple dilution. No statistical difference was observed, confirming that the use of VAMS® is an excellent alternative device to monitor the doxycycline compliance.

Urinary antibiotic exposure across pregnancy from Chinese pregnant women and health risk assessment: Repeated measures analysis. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2020; 145:106164. [PMID: 33035894 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2020.106164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2020] [Revised: 09/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Multiple antibiotics are widely used in clinic practice and livestock husbandry, but exposure data based on repeated measurements are scarce among pregnant women. Here, we biomonitored 41 antibiotics and their two metabolites in urine samples from 3235 pregnant women over three trimesters. Spearman's correlation coefficient, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), percentile analysis and linear mixed models were employed to evaluate the correlations, variability, co-exposure patterns and predictors of antibiotics, respectively. Pregnant urinary creatinine-adjusted concentrations of antibiotics were used to estimate daily exposure dose and assessed health risks. The target antibiotics were detected in more than 90% of urine samples, primarily as preferred as veterinary antibiotics (PVAs), and the 95th percentile urinary concentrations of each individual antibiotics were range from below the limits of detection to 5.74 ng/mL. We observed considerable within-subject variation (ICC: 0.05-0.63) of urinary antibiotics concentrations during pregnancy. More than half pregnant women were co-exposed to two or more antibiotics of different usage classes, while both co-exposure to high percentiles of three usage antibiotics at one trimester or exposure to single usage antibiotics at high-dose through three trimesters were infrequent in the study population, and most pregnant women were continuously exposed to low-dose PVAs across pregnancy. A total of 4.5% samples were showed hazard index values exceeding 1 during entire pregnancy. Urinary levels of antibiotics associated with residence, maternal age and education, pre-pregnancy BMI, household income and gestational week, especially vary by sampling seasons. Taken together, most pregnant women were frequently exposure to low-dose PVAs across pregnancy and some were in a health risk associated with the disturbance of gut microbiota. Multiple measurements of urinary antibiotic concentrations are essential to more accurate charactering the exposure levels during pregnancy. Several predictors of urinary antibiotics should be taken into consideration in future researches.
