Diogo BS, Rodrigues S, Golovko O, Antunes SC. From bacteria to fish: ecotoxicological insights into sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024:10.1007/s11356-024-34659-y. [PMID: 39138731 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-34659-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TRIM) are two of the most used antibiotics in the last 50 years, to prevent and treat bacterial infections; however, the available literature about toxicity to non-target organisms is quite discrepant and incomplete. This study aims to assess the SMX and TRIM ecotoxicological effects in standard species: Aliivibrio fischeri (bioluminescence inhibition), Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 (growth inhibition), Lemna minor (growth inhibition and biochemical biomarkers), Daphnia magna (immobilization/mortality, life history traits, and biochemical biomarkers), and Danio rerio (survival, hatching, abnormalities, and biochemical biomarkers). The species tested showed different acute sensitivities to SMX (A. fischeri < D. magna < E. coli < L. minor) and TRIM (L. minor < A. fischeri < D. magna < E. coli). Overall, TRIM reveals less toxicity than SMX, except for E. coli (Ecotoxicological approach based on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing - EcoAST procedure). Both antibiotics affect individually (e.g., growth and survival) and sub-individually (e.g., antioxidant defenses) L. minor, D. magna, and D. rerio. This study allowed us to generate relevant data and fill gaps in the literature regarding the effects of SMX and TRIM in aquatic organisms. The here-obtained results can be used to (i) complete and re-evaluate the Safety Data Sheet to improve the assessment of environmental safety and management of national and international entities; (ii) clarify the environmental risks of these antibiotics in aquatic ecosystems reinforcing the inclusion in the 4th Watch List of priority substances to be monitored in whole inland waters by the Water Framework Directive; and (iii) combat the development of antimicrobial resistance, as well as supporting the definition of environmental measurements in the context of European One Health Action Plan. However, it is essential to continue studying these antibiotics to better understand their toxicity at ecologically relevant concentrations and their long-term effects under different climatic change scenarios.

Efficient removal of ciprofloxacin from aqueous solution using Zn-C battery derived graphene oxide enhanced by hydrogen bonding, electrostatic and π-π interaction. Heliyon 2024; 10:e33317. [PMID: 39022076 PMCID: PMC11253669 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, graphene oxide (GO) derived from waste Zinc-Carbon (Zn-C) batteries was proposed for the efficient removal of antibiotics from the aqueous solution. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotic was selected as a typical contaminants. GO was prepared via an economical and environment-friendly route by using carbon rods from waste Zn-C batteries as the precursor. Characterization techniques were applied to determine the properties of as prepared GO. Effects of pH, contact time, and adsorbent dose on the adsorption were explored, and an optimum condition was established. Adsorption equilibrium was established in just 20 min for maximum removal of CIP (99.0%) at pH 5.7 for the adsorbent dose of 20 mg L-1 and at the initial concentration of CIP 2.0 mg L-1. The rapid and efficient removal of CIP was greatly influenced by the electrostatic attractions, pi-pi interactions and hydrogen bonding on the surface and edge of GO which was also proved by density functional theory (DFT). Langmuir model showed the best fit among the isotherm models and the calculated maximum adsorption capacity (qm) was 419.62 mg g-1 at 30°C. The kinetic studies also revealed that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model. The endothermic and spontaneous nature of adsorption was evaluated in thermodynamic studies.

Abstract
Specialized chemicals are used for intensifying food production, including boosting meat and crop yields. Among the applied formulations, antibiotics and pesticides pose a severe threat to the natural balance of the ecosystem, as they either contribute to the development of multidrug resistance among pathogens or exhibit ecotoxic and mutagenic actions of a persistent character. Recently, cold atmospheric pressure plasmas (CAPPs) have emerged as promising technologies for degradation of these organic pollutants. CAPP-based technologies show eco-friendliness and potency for the removal of organic pollutants of diverse chemical formulas and different modes of action. For this reason, various types of CAPP-based systems are presented in this review and assessed in terms of their constructions, types of discharges, operating parameters, and efficiencies in the degradation of antibiotics and persistent organic pollutants. Additionally, the key role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) is highlighted. Moreover, optimization of the CAPP operating parameters seems crucial to effectively remove contaminants. Finally, the CAPP-related paths and technologies are further considered in terms of biological and environmental effects associated with the treatments, including changes in antibacterial properties and toxicity of the exposed solutions, as well as the potential of the CAPP-based strategies for limiting the spread of multidrug resistance.

Abstract
Background Antibiotics are commonly used for controlling microbial growth in diseased organisms. However, antibiotic treatments during early developmental stages can have negative impacts on development and physiology that could offset the positive effects of reducing or eliminating pathogens. Similarly, antibiotics can shift the microbial community due to differential effectiveness on resistant and susceptible bacteria. Though antibiotic application does not typically result in mortality of marine invertebrates, little is known about the developmental and transcriptional effects. These sublethal effects could reduce the fitness of the host organism and lead to negative changes after removal of the antibiotics. Here, we quantify the impact of antibiotic treatment on development, gene expression, and the culturable bacterial community of a model cnidarian, Nematostella vectensis. Methods Ampicillin, streptomycin, rifampicin, and neomycin were compared individually at two concentrations, 50 and 200 µg mL-1, and in combination at 50 µg mL-1 each, to assess their impact on N. vectensis. First, we determined the impact antibiotics have on larval development. Next Amplicon 16S rDNA gene sequencing was used to compare the culturable bacteria that persist after antibiotic treatment to determine how these treatments may differentially select against the native microbiome. Lastly, we determined how acute (3-day) and chronic (8-day) antibiotic treatments impact gene expression of adult anemones. Results Under most exposures, the time of larval settlement extended as the concentration of antibiotics increased and had the longest delay of 3 days in the combination treatment. Culturable bacteria persisted through a majority of exposures where we identified 359 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs). The largest proportion of bacteria belonged to Gammaproteobacteria, and the most common ASVs were identified as Microbacterium and Vibrio. The acute antibiotic exposure resulted in differential expression of genes related to epigenetic mechanisms and neural processes, while constant application resulted in upregulation of chaperones and downregulation of mitochondrial genes when compared to controls. Gene Ontology analyses identified overall depletion of terms related to development and metabolism in both antibiotic treatments. Discussion Antibiotics resulted in a significant increase to settlement time of N. vectensis larvae. Culturable bacterial species after antibiotic treatments were taxonomically diverse. Additionally, the transcriptional effects of antibiotics, and after their removal result in significant differences in gene expression that may impact the physiology of the anemone, which may include removal of bacterial signaling on anemone gene expression. Our research suggests that impacts of antibiotics beyond the reduction of bacteria may be important to consider when they are applied to aquatic invertebrates including reef building corals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Doxycycline (DO) has been used in fish for a long time, but there are some factors that have not yet been clarified regarding its pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the PK and PK/PD targets of DO after 20 mg/kg intravascular (IV), intramuscular (IM) and oral (OR) gavage administration in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). METHODS Plasma samples were collected at specific time points and subsequently analysed by HPLC-ultraviolet. The PK/PD indices were calculated based on the MIC90 (Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas sobria) values obtained for the respective bacteria and the PK parameters obtained for DO following both IM and OR administration. RESULTS After IV administration, the elimination half-life (t1/2 ʎz), area under the concentration vs. time curve (AUC), apparent volume of distribution at steady-state and total body clearance of DO were 34.81 h, 723.82 h µg/mL, 1.24 L/kg and 0.03 L/kg/h, respectively. The t1/2λz of the DO was found to be 37.39 and 39.78 h after IM, and OR administration, respectively. The bioavailability was calculated 57.02% and 32.29%, respectively, after IM and OR administration. The MIC90 of DO against A. hydrophila and A. sobria was 4 µg/mL. The PK/PD integration showed that DO (20 mg/kg dose) for A. hydrophila and A. sobria with MIC90 ≤4 µg/mL achieved target AUC/MIC value after IM administration. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that when rainbow trout was treated with 20 mg/kg IV and IM administered DO, therapeutically effective concentrations were reached in the control of infections caused by A. hydrophila and A. sobria.

Abstract
This study evaluated the impacts of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) on antioxidant, immune, histopathological dynamic changes, and gut microbiota of zebrafish. SMX was carried out five groups: 0 (C), 3 mg/L (T3), 6 mg/L (T6), 12 mg/L (T12), and 24 mg/L (T24), with 5 replicates per group for an 8-weeks chronic toxicity test. It was found that SMX is considered to have low toxicity to adult zebrafish. SMX with the concentration not higher than 24 mg/L has no obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of fish. Under different concentrations of SMX stress, oxidative damage and immune system disorder were caused to the liver and gill, with the 12 and 24 mg/L concentration being the most significant. At the same time, it also causes varying degrees of pathological changes in both intestinal and liver tissues. As the concentration of SMX increases, the composition and abundance of the gut microbiota in zebrafish significantly decrease.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities lead to the spread of chemicals and biological materials, including plastic waste, toxic metals, and pharmaceuticals, of which the impact on the Mediterranean Sea is of high concern. In this context, the EU Interreg Italy-Albania-Montenegro Project "ADRINET (Adriatic Network for Marine Ecosystem) _244" (2018-2020) arises. It aims to carry out biomonitoring campaigns in the main commercial interest of fish and cephalopod species, such as Sparus aurata, Dicentrarchus labrax, Sepia spp., and Loligo spp. sampled in three different subregions of the Mediterranean Sea. The presence of the main environmental contaminants, such as cadmium, microplastics, and antibiotics was investigated in these seafood samples. Contamination by cadmium and antibiotics in the seafood investigated in our study was negligible. However, a high value of microplastics was detected in the stomach and gut of Sparus aurata and Dicentrarchus labrax. Overall, even though the presence of microplastics needs to be investigated by further studies, the results confirmed that the environmental conditions of the three bays investigated by the ADRINET project partners (Italy, Albania, Montenegro) are positive and not affected by intensive anthropogenic activity.

Abstract
As typical antibiotics, tetracycline (TC) and sulfadiazine (SDZ) enter the human body through the food chain. Therefore, it is necessary to understand their individual and combined toxicity. In this study, the effects of TC, SDZ, and their mixture on cell viability, cell membrane damage, liver cell damage, and oxidative damage were evaluated in in vitro assays with human liver cells Huh-7. The results showed cytotoxicity of TC, SDZ, and their mixture, which induced oxidative stress and caused membrane and cell damage. The effect of antibiotics on Huh-7 cells increased with increasing concentration, except for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity that commonly showed a threshold concentration response and cell viability, which commonly showed a biphasic trend, suggesting the possibility of hormetic responses where proper doses are included. The toxicity of TC was commonly higher than that of SDZ when applied at the same concentration. These findings shed light on the individual and joint effects of these major antibiotics on liver cells, providing a scientific basis for the evaluation of antibiotic toxicity and associated risks.

Abstract
Antibiotics are being increasingly detected in aquatic environments, and their potential ecological risk is of great concern. However, most antibiotic toxicity studies involve single-exposure experiments. Herein, we studied the effects and mechanisms of repeated versus single clarithromycin (CLA) exposure on Microcystis aeruginosa. The 96 h effective concentration of CLA was 13.37 μg/L upon single exposure but it reduced to 6.90 μg/L upon repeated exposure. Single-exposure CLA inhibited algal photosynthesis by disrupting energy absorption, dissipation and trapping, reaction center activation, and electron transport, thereby inducing oxidative stress and ultrastructural damage. In addition, CLA upregulated glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Repeated exposure caused stronger inhibition of algal growth via altering photosynthetic pigments, reaction center subunits biosynthesis, and electron transport, thereby inducing more substantial oxidative damage. Furthermore, repeated exposure reduced carbohydrate utilization by blocking the pentose phosphate pathway, consequently altering the characteristics of extracellular polymeric substances and eventually impairing the defense mechanisms of M. aeruginosa. Risk quotients calculated from repeated exposure were higher than 1, indicating significant ecological risks. This study elucidated the strong influence of repeated antibiotic exposure on algae, providing new insight into antibiotic risk assessment.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 146:109418. [PMID: 38301811 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109418] [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: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
The rice fish system represents an innovative and sustainable approach to integrated farming, combining rice cultivation with fish rearing in the same ecosystem. However, one of the major challenges in this system is the pesticidal pollution resulting from various sources, which poses risks to fish health and overall ecosystem balance. In recent years, dietary polyphenols have emerged as promising bioactive compounds with potential chemo-preventive and therapeutic properties. These polyphenols, derived from various plant sources, have shown great potential in reducing the toxicity of pesticides and improving the health of fish within the rice fish system. This review aims to explore the novel aspects of using dietary polyphenols to mitigate pesticidal toxicity and enhance fish health in the rice fish system. It provides comprehensive insights into the mechanisms of action of dietary polyphenols and their beneficial effects on fish health, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification properties. Furthermore, the review discusses the potential application methods of dietary polyphenols, such as direct supplementation in fish diets or through incorporation into the rice fields. By understanding the interplay between dietary polyphenols and pesticides in the rice fish system, researchers can develop innovative and sustainable strategies to promote fish health, minimize pesticide impacts, and ensure the long-term viability of this integrated farming approach. The information presented in this review will be valuable for scientists, aqua-culturists, and policymakers aiming to implement eco-friendly and health-enhancing practices in the rice fish system.

Abstract
Fluoxetine (FLX) is one of the most persistent pharmaceuticals found in wastewater due to increased use of antidepressant drugs in recent decades. In this study, a nanocomposite of ternary ZnCoAl layered double hydroxide supported on activated carbon (LAC) was used as an adsorbent for FLX in wastewater effluents. The nanocomposite was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and surface area analysis (BET). The adsorption investigations showed that the maximum removal capacity was achieved at pH 10, with a 0.1 g/L adsorbent dose, 50 mL volume of solution, and at a temperature of 25 °C. The FLX adsorption process followed the Langmuir-Freundlich model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 450.92 mg/g at FLX concentration of 50 µg/mL. Density functional theory (DFT) computations were used to study the adsorption mechanism of FLX and its protonated species. The safety and toxicity of the nanocomposite formed from the adsorption of FLX onto LAC (FLX-LAC) was investigated in male albino rats. Acute toxicity was evaluated using probit analysis after 2, 6, and 24 h to determine LD50 and LD100 values in a rat model. The FLX-LAC (20 mg/kg) significantly increased and lengthened the sleep time of the rats, which is important, especially with commonly used antidepressants, compared to the pure standard FLX (7 mg/kg), regular thiopental sodium medicine (30 mg/kg), and LAC alone (9 mg/kg). This study demonstrated the safety and longer sleeping duration in insomniac patients after single-dose therapy with FLX-LAC. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like FLX were found to have decreased side effects and were considered the first-line mood disorder therapies.

Abstract
This study shows how wild fishes from urbanized rivers could be involved in the spread of antibiotic-resistant Enterobacterales. Antibiotic resistance profiles and molecular detection of clinical integron (IntI1) were carried out on 105 Enterobacterales isolated from 89 wildfish (skin or gut) belonging to 8 species. The proportion of isolates resistant to at least one antibiotic was independent of fish species and reached 28.3% within the Escherichia coli (E. coli) population and 84.7% in the non-E.coli Enterobacterales. Bacteria involved in nosocomial infections were isolated, such as E. coli, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter, as well as the environmental bacteria (Lelliottia, Butiauxella, and Kluyvera).

Abstract
The symbiotic community of microorganisms in the gut plays an important role in the health of the host. While many previous studies have been performed on the interactions between the gut microbiome and the host in mammals, studies in fish are still lacking. In this study, we investigated changes in the intestinal microbiome and pathogen susceptibility of zebrafish (Danio rerio) following chronic antibiotics exposure. The chronic antibiotics exposure assay was performed on zebrafish for 30 days using oxytetracycline (Otc), sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (Smx/Tmp), or erythromycin (Ery), which are antibiotics widely used in the aquaculture industry. The microbiome analysis indicated that Fusobacteria, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla in the gut microbiome of the zebrafish used in this study. However, in Smx/Tmp-treated zebrafish, the compositions of Fusobacteria and Proteobacteria were changed significantly, and in Ery-treated zebrafish, the compositions of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were altered significantly. Although alpha diversity analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the richness, beta diversity analysis revealed a community imbalance in the gut microbiome of all chronically antibiotics-exposed zebrafish. Intriguingly, in zebrafish with dysbiosis in the gut microbiome, the pathogen susceptibility to Edwardsiella piscicida, a representative Gram-negative fish pathogen, was reduced. Gut microbiome imbalance resulted in a higher count of goblet cells in intestinal tissue and an upregulation of genes related to the intestinal mucosal barrier. In addition, as innate immunity was enhanced by the increased mucosal barrier, immune and stress-related gene expression in the intestinal tissue was downregulated. In this study, we provide new insight into the effect of gut microbiome dysbiosis on pathogen susceptibility.

Abstract
Sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) and zinc (Zn) are widespread harmful materials in aquatic ecosystems and cause toxic effects to aquatic animals under their individual exposure. Although they often co-exist in aquatic environments, little is known about their joint effects and mechanism influencing aquatic animals. Herein, SMZ induced mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunction, inhibited autophagy flux, and induced lipotoxicity. However, SMZ-induced changes of these physiological and metabolic processes above were reversed by Zn exposure, indicating the antagonism between Zn and SMZ. SOD1-knockdown abrogated the reversing effects of Zn on mitochondria dysfunction and autophagy flux blockage induced by SMZ, suggesting that SOD1 was essential for Zn to reverse SMZ-induced mitochondria dysfunction and autophagy impairment. Our further investigation found that Zn regulated STAT3 translocation to lysosomes and mitochondria to attenuate SMZ-induced lipotoxicity, and SOD1 was required for these processes. Mechanistically, STAT3 was associated with ATP6V1 A in a coiled-coil domain-dependent manner, and pS710-STAT3-and pY753-STAT3-independent manners. Moreover, SMZ suppressed autophagic degradation of damaged mitochondria via inhibiting interaction between STAT3 and ATP6V1 A and increasing pS710-STAT3 level; SMZ impaired mitochondrial β-oxidation via decreasing pY753-STAT3 level and STAT3 mitochondrial localization. Zn reversed these SMZ-induced effects to alleviate SMZ-induced lipotoxicity. Taken together, our data showed that SMZ impaired mitochondrial β-oxidation and lysosomal acidification via the downregulation of SOD1, leading to lipotoxicity, and that Zn reversed SMZ-induced changes of these important biological processes and attenuated SMZ-induced lipotoxicity. Thus, our study identified previously unidentified mechanisms for the antagonistic mechanisms of Zn and SMZ on aquatic animals, which provided novel insights into the environmental risk assessments of the joint exposure between heavy metals and antibiotics in the aquatic organisms.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2023; 265:106760.

Abstract
The incorrect use of antibiotics and pesticides poses significant risks of biological toxicity. Their simultaneous exposure could jeopardize fish health and hinder sustainable aquaculture. Here, we subjected grass carp to waterborne cypermethrin (0.65 μg/L) or/and sulfamethoxazole (0.30 μg/L) treatments for a duration of 6 weeks. We closely monitored the effects on intestinal function, the intestinal microbiome, and the liver metabolome. The results revealed that exposure to waterborne cypermethrin or/and sulfamethoxazole compromised intestinal barrier function and decreased the expression of intestinal tight junction proteins. Additionally, heightened levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the intestines and reduced antioxidant levels indicated systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, with more severe effects observed in the combined exposure group. 16S rRNA sequencing of intestinal tissues suggested Firmicutes play a key role in the intestinal microbiota. GC/MS metabolomics of the liver showed more differential metabolites (56) in the co-exposure group compared to cypermethrin (45) or sulfamethoxazole (32) alone, indicating greater toxicological effects with combined exposure. Our analyses also suggest that ATP-binding cassette transporters could serve as a novel endpoint for assessing the risk of pesticide and antibiotic mixtures in grass carp. In summary, this study underscores the potential ecological risks posed by antibiotics and pesticides to aquatic environments and products. It emphasizes the importance of the gut-liver axis as a comprehensive pathway for assessing the toxicity in fish exposed to environmental contaminants.

Abstract
Global prevalence of antibiotic residues (ABX) in rivers requires ecotoxicological impact assessment. River microbial communities serve as effective bioindicators for this purpose. We quantified the effects of eight commonly used ABXs on a freshwater river microbial community using Biolog EcoPlates™, enabling the assessment of growth and physiological profile changes. Microbial community characterization involved 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The river community structure was representative of aquatic ecosystems, with the prevalence of Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. Our findings reveal that all ABXs at 100 µg/mL reduced microbial community growth and metabolic capacity, particularly for polymers, carbohydrates, carboxylic, and ketonic acids. Chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and gentamicin exhibited the highest toxicity, with chloramphenicol notably impairing the metabolism of all studied metabolite groups. At lower concentrations (1 µg/mL), some ABXs slightly enhanced growth and the capacity to metabolize substrates, such as carbohydrates, carboxylic, and ketonic acids, and amines, except for amoxicillin, which decreased the metabolic capacity across all metabolites. We explored potential correlations between physicochemical parameters and drug mechanisms to understand drug bioavailability. Acute toxicity effects at the river-detected low concentrations (ng/L) are unlikely. However, they may disrupt microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems. The utilization of a wide array of genetically characterized microbial communities, as opposed to a single species, enables a better understanding of the impact of ABXs on complex river ecosystems.

Abstract
In this study, the occurrence and removal of ten selected antibiotics from aquaculture wastewater by the process solar + Fe(VI)+oxone were investigated. The detection levels of the antibiotics in the aquaculture wastewater samples were at ng/L. The degradation of the selected antibiotics under the process solar + Fe(VI)+oxone followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. As the most abundant antibiotic in the studied aquaculture wastewater, norfloxacin (NFX) was used as the model compound to study the reaction mechanism and detoxification ability of the treatment system, as well as the effects of reaction parameters and environmental factors. The active species including O2•-, O21, and Fe(V)/Fe(IV) contributed to NFX degradation in the process solar + Fe(VI)+oxone. Decarboxylation, the piprazine ring opening, defluorination of the benzene ring, oxygen addition and the cleavage of the quinolone/benzene ring were main degradation pathways of NFX. Around 20% mineralization was reached and the inhibition rate of the bacteria (Escherichia Coli) growth was reduced from 95.5% to 47.1% after the NFX degradation for 60 min. Despite the suppression of NFX degradation by NO2-, PO43- and humic acid, the NFX degradation in three aquaculture wastewater samples was faster than that in ultrapure water due to the positive effect of Br-and other factors. The above results demonstrate the treatment process solar-driven Fe(VI)/oxone has a good potential in antibiotics removal from the aquaculture wastewater.

Wei XL, Xu YC, Tan XY, Lv WH, Zhang DG, He Y, Luo Z. Enrofloxacin (ENR) exposure induces lipotoxicity by promoting mitochondrial fragmentation via dephosphorylation of DRP1 at S627 site. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 340:139892. [PMID: 37611774 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139892] [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: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
Enrofloxacin (ENR) is a kind of widespread hazardous pollutant on aquatic ecosystems and causes toxic effects, such as disorders of metabolism, on aquatic animals. However, its potential mechanisms at an environmental concentration on metabolic disorders of aquatic organisms remain unclear. Herin, we found that hepatic lipotoxicity was induced by ENR exposure, which led to ENR accumulation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial fragmentation, and fatty acid transfer blockage from lipid droplets into fragmented mitochondria. ENR-induced lipotoxicity and mitochondrial β-oxidation down-regulation were mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, dynamin-like protein 1 (DRP1) mediated ENR-induced mitochondrial fragmentation and changes of lipid metabolism. Mechanistically, ENR induced increment of DRP1 mitochondrial localization via dephosphorylating DRP1 at S627 and promoted its interaction with mitochondrial fission factor (MFF), leading to mitochondria fragmentation. For the first time, our study provides an innovative mechanistic link between hepatic lipotoxicity and mitochondrial fragmentation under ENR exposure, and thus identifies previously unknown mechanisms for the direct relationship between environmental ENR concentration and lipotoxicity in aquatic animals. Our study provides innovative insights for toxicological mechanisms and environmental risk assessments of antibiotics in aquatic environment.

Abstract
We further developed previous work on MXene materials prepared using molten salt methodology. We substituted single, with mixed salts, and reduced the melting point from >724 °C to <360 °C. Cobalt (Co) compounds were simultaneously etched and doped while the MXene material was created using various techniques in which Co compounds occur as Co3O4. The synthesized Co3O4/MXene compound was used as a peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator that would generate free radicals to degrade antibiotic ornidazole (ONZ). Under optimal conditions, almost 100% of ONZ (30 mg/L) was degraded within 10 min. The Co3O4/MXene + PMS system efficiently degraded ONZ in natural water bodies, and had a broad pH adaptation range (4-11), and strong anion anti-interference. We investigated how the four active substances were generated using radical quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. We identified 12 ONZ intermediates by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and propose a plausible degradative mechanism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION If the use of intermittent catheterization has revolutionized the prognosis of neuro-urology patients, it seems necessary to question the ecological cost of single-use catheters, in a process of decarbonization of the health sector. The aim of this work is to identify the environmental impact of intermittent catheterization and potential solutions to reduce it. METHODS A review of the literature on the environmental impact of intermittent catheterizations was conducted. Potential solutions to reduce this impact and possible alternatives were then studied based on data from the literature. RESULTS Only two studies were identified. The first estimated the amount of waste generated by intermittent catheterization in the USA to be between 4400 and 38,964 tons per year. The second study showed a higher overall environmental impact of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) catheters than polyvinyl chloride (PVC) catheters and catheters made from polyolefin material. Reuse of catheters would reduce the amount of waste, but the paucity of data does not allow us to determine if the incidence of urinary tract infection would be affected. Alternative micturition methods, in addition to the complications they may cause, require the use of collection bags or pads, which also have an environmental impact. Other treatments for dysuria exist, but the evidence is limited and does not cover all patient populations. CONCLUSION With limited alternatives, it appears essential to develop more environmentally friendly catheters.

Abstract
The mucosal microbiome plays a role in regulating host health. The research conducted in humans and mice has governed and detailed the information on microbiome-host immunity interactions. Teleost fish, different from humans and mice, lives in and relies on the aquatic environment and is subjected to environmental variation. The growth of teleost mucosal microbiome studies, the majority in the gastrointestinal tract, has emphasized the essential role of the teleost microbiome in growth and health. However, research in the teleost external surface microbiome, as the skin microbiome, has just started. In this review, we examine the general findings in the colonization of the skin microbiome, how the skin microbiome is subjected to environmental change and the reciprocal regulation with the host immune system, and the current challenges that potential study models can address. The information collected from teleost skin microbiome-host immunity research would help future teleost culturing from the potential parasitic infestation and bacterial infection as foreseeing growing threats.

Abstract
Antibiotics, due to their stability and persistence in the environment, can have chronic impacts on various ecosystems and organisms. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying antibiotic toxicity at environmental concentrations, particularly the neurotoxic effects of sulfonamides (SAs), remain poorly understood. In this study, we assessed the neurotoxicity of six SAs including the sulfadiazine (SD), sulfathiazole (ST), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfisoxazole (SIZ), sulfapyridine (SPD), and sulfadimethoxine (SDM) by exposing zebrafish to environmentally relevant concentrations (ERCs). The SAs exhibited concentration-dependent effects on zebrafish behavior, including spontaneous movement, heartbeat, survival rate, and body metrics, ultimately leading to depressive-like symptoms and sublethal toxicity during early life stages. Notably, even the lowest SA concentration (0.05 μg/L) induced neurotoxicity and behavioral impairment in zebrafish. We observed a dose-dependent increase in melancholy behavior as indicated by increased resting time and decreased motor activity in zebrafish larvae. Following exposure to SAs from 4 to 120 h post-fertilization (hpf), key genes involved in folate synthesis [sepiapterin reductase a (spra), phenylalanine hydroxylase (pah), tyrosine hydroxylase (th), and tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (tryptophan 5-monooxygenase) a tryptophan hydroxylase (tph1a)] and carbonic anhydrase (CA) metabolism [carbonic anhydrase II (ca2), carbonic anhydrase IV a (ca4a), carbonic anhydrase VII (ca7), and carbonic anhydrase XIV (ca14)] were significantly downregulated or inhibited at different concentrations. Our findings demonstrate that acute exposure to six SAs at environmentally relevant concentrations induces developmental and neurotoxic effects in zebrafish, impacting folate synthesis pathways and CA metabolism. These results provide valuable insights into the potential role of antibiotics in depressive disorders and neuroregulatory pathways.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is an antibiotic commonly used in human and veterinary medicine. It is present in the aquatic environment, but we still know very little about its effect on non-targeted organisms. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of long-term exposure to environmental CIP concentrations (1, 10, and 100 μg.L-1) in males and females of Rhamdia quelen. After 28 days of exposure, we collected the blood for the analysis of hematological and genotoxic biomarkers. Additionally, we measured 17 β-estradiol and 11 keto-testosterone levels. After the euthanasia, we collected the brain and the hypothalamus to analyze acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and neurotransmitters, respectively. The liver and gonads were assessed for biochemical, genotoxic, and histopathological biomarkers. At 100 μg.L-1 CIP, we observed genotoxicity in the blood, nuclear morphological changes, apoptosis, leukopenia, and a reduction of AChE in the brain. In the liver was observed oxidative stress and apoptosis. At 10 μg.L-1 CIP, leukopenia, morphological changes, and apoptosis were presented in the blood and a reduction of AChE in the brain. Apoptosis, leukocyte infiltration, steatosis, and necrosis occurred in the liver. Even at the lowest concentration (1 μg.L-1), adverse effects such as erythrocyte and liver genotoxicity, hepatocyte apoptosis, oxidative stress, and a decrease in somatic indexes were observed. The results showed the importance of monitoring CIP concentrations in the aquatic environment that cause sublethal effects on fish.

Abstract
Avermectin pollution is an important problem that cannot be ignored in aquatic system in recent years. It has brought great trouble to freshwater aquaculture, especially fishery aquaculture. Plant-derived quercetin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and is widely used as a dietary additive, but its protective effect on immune damage induced by avermectin in freshwater carp remains unclear. This study evaluated the role of dietary additive quercetin supplementation in chronic avermectin exposure of carp spleen. Sixty carp were divided into 4 groups (n = 15/ group), including control group, avermectin treatment group, quercetin treatment group, quercetin and avermectin co-treatment group. Carp were exposed to a 1/10 96 h LC50 dose of avermectin for 30 d and fed a carp diet containing 400 mg/kg quercetin twice a day (3% body weigh/ carp). The results showed that chronic avermectin exposure caused the loose parenchymal structure of carp spleen tissue and the increase of inflammatory cells, accompanied by increased transcription levels of pro-inflammatory il-1β, il-6, tnf-α and decreased levels of anti-inflammatory factors il-10 and tgf-β1, ROS accumulation in spleen tissue. MDA content increased and T-AOC, CAT and GSH levels decreased. Quercetin down-regulates the NF-κB pathway by inhibiting the expression of iNOS and activating p38 MAPK, blocking the transcription of inflammatory factors, and alleviating the inflammation of carp spleen caused by chronic avermectin exposure. In addition, quercetin inhibits the over-activation of Nrf2/Keap-1 signaling axis, blocks ROS accumulation, and restores the spleen REDOX homeostasis. In conclusion, quercetin, as a dietary additive for carp feed, can effectively improve the immune damage caused by avermectin pollution in aquatic environment, resist spleen inflammation and oxidative stress, and provide a theoretical basis for clinical development of freshwater carp feed.

Effects of Resource Availability and Antibiotic Residues on Intestinal Antibiotic Resistance in Bellamya aeruginosa. Microorganisms 2023; 11:microorganisms11030765.

Abstract
Widespread and inappropriate use of antibiotics has been shown to increase the spread of antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic environments and organisms. Antibiotic use for the treatment of human and animal diseases is increasing continuously globally. However, the effects of legal antibiotic concentrations on benthic consumers in freshwater environments remain unclear. In the present study, we tested the growth response of Bellamya aeruginosa to florfenicol (FF) for 84 days under high and low concentrations of sediment organic matter (carbon [C] and nitrogen [N]). We characterized FF and sediment organic matter impact on the bacterial community, ARGs, and metabolic pathways in the intestine using metagenomic sequencing and analysis. The high concentrations of organic matter in the sediment impacted the growth, intestinal bacterial community, intestinal ARGs, and microbiome metabolic pathways of B. aeruginosa. B. aeruginosa growth increased significantly following exposure to high organic matter content sediment. Proteobacteria, at the phylum level, and Aeromonas at the genus level, were enriched in the intestines. In particular, fragments of four opportunistic pathogens enriched in the intestine of high organic matter content sediment groups, Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas caviae, Aeromonas veronii, and Aeromonas salmonicida, carried 14 ARGs. The metabolic pathways of the B. aeruginosa intestine microbiome were activated and showed a significant positive correlation with sediment organic matter concentrations. In addition, genetic information processing and metabolic functions may be inhibited by the combined exposure to sediment C, N, and FF. The findings of the present study suggest that antibiotic resistance dissemination from benthic animals to the upper trophic levels in freshwater lakes should be studied further.

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

Iftikhar N, Konig I, English C, Ivantsova E, Souders CL, Hashmi I, Martyniuk CJ. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) Alters Immune and Apoptotic Endpoints in Developing Zebrafish (Danio rerio). TOXICS 2023; 11:178. [PMID: 36851053 PMCID: PMC9959310 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11020178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a broad-range bacteriostatic antibiotic widely used in animal and fish farming and is also employed in human medicine. These antibiotics can ultimately end up in the aquatic ecosystem and affect non-target organisms such as fish. To discern the effect of SMX on developing zebrafish embryos and larvae, we investigated a broad range of sub-lethal toxicity endpoints. Higher concentrations of SMX affected survivability, caused hatch delay, and induced malformations including edema of the yolk sac, pericardial effusion, bent tail, and curved spine in developing embryos. Lower levels of SMX provoked an inflammatory response in larvae at seven days post fertilization (dpf), as noted by up-regulation of interferon (ifn-γ) and interleukin 1β (il-1β). SMX also increased the expression of genes related to apoptosis, including BCL2-Associated Agonist of Cell Death (bad) and BCL2 Associated X, Apoptosis Regulator (bax) at 50 µg/L and decreased caspase 3 (casp3) expression in a dose-dependent manner. SMX induced hyperactivity in larval fish at 500 and 2500 µg/L based upon the light/dark preference test. Collectively, this study revealed that exposure to SMX can disrupt the immune system by altering host defense mechanisms as well as transcripts related to apoptosis. These data improve understanding of antibiotic chemical toxicity in aquatic organisms and serves as a baseline for in-depth environmental risk assessment of SMX and antibiotics.

Chronic intake of an enriched diet with spirulina (Arthrospira maxima) alleviates the embryotoxic effects produced by realistic concentrations of tetracycline in Danio rerio. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 859:159731. [PMID: 36356765 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is one of the most consumed antibiotics worldwide. Due to its high consumption, recent studies have reported its presence in aquatic environments and have assessed its effects on fish, algae, and daphniids. However, in most of those works, authors have tested TC toxicity at concentrations higher than the ones reported in the water matrix. Herein, we aimed to assess the likely embryotoxic and oxidative damage induced by environmentally relevant concentrations of TC in embryos of Danio rerio. Moreover, we seek to determine whether or not an enriched diet with spirulina can alleviate the embryotoxic damage produced by TC. Our findings indicated that TC at concentrations of 50 to 500 ng/L induced pericardial edema, tail deformities, and absence of head and fin in embryos after 96 h of exposure. Moreover, this antibiotic prompted the death of embryos in a concentration-dependent manner. According to our integrated biomarker response index, TC induced oxidative damage on Danio rerio embryos, as star plots showed a tendency to lipoperoxidation, hydroperoxides, and protein carbonyl content. Spirulina reduced the toxicity of TC by diminishing the levels of oxidative damage biomarkers, which resulted in a decrease in the rate of death and malformed embryos. Overall, TC at concentrations of ng/L prompted oxidative stress and embryotoxicity in the early life stages of Danio rerio; nonetheless, the algae spirulina was able to reduce the severity of those effects.

Abstract
Antibiotics are emerging environmental contaminants with wide attention due to their high consumption and pseudo-persistence in the environment. They have been shown to induce obesity or obesity-related metabolic diseases in experimental animals, but the underlying toxicological mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the disruptive effects of four commonly used antibiotics, namely doxycycline (DC), enrofloxacin (ENR), florfenicol (FF) and sulfamethazine (SMT) on lipid metabolism were investigated in zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae and murine preadipocyte cell line. Triglyceride (TG) content was reduced after 1 ng/L DC or ENR exposure but was increased at higher concentrations up to 100 mg/L. FF increased and SMT reduced TG content but did not show any concentration dependence. None of the antibiotics had any significant effect on total cholesterol (TC) content in zebrafish except 100 μg/L SMT. Expression levels of 8 lipid metabolism-related genes were also quantified. SMT was most disruptive by up-regulating six genes, followed by FF which up-regulated four genes and down-regulated one gene, whereas DC and ENR both up-regulated one gene. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, ENR, FF, and SMT in general increased TG content, while 100 mg/L FF reduced TG substantially. DC did not show any effect up to 10 mg/L, at which TG increased significantly. FF and SMT increased TC slightly at low concentrations but reduced it at high concentrations, whereas TC, DC and ENR had no effect at any tested concentrations. Gene expression measurement also indicated that SMT was most disruptive, followed by FF, DC, and ENR. Reporter gene assays showed that only SMT inhibited the transcriptional activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). The above experimental results and clustering analysis demonstrate that the four antibiotics exerted disruption on lipid metabolism through different mechanisms, and one of the mechanisms for SMT may be inhibition of PPARγ transcriptional activity.

Abstract
A comprehensive, large-scale coastal investigation of antibiotics in seawater from Bohai Bay is lacking. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the occurrence and ecological risks of 45 antibiotics belonging to 5 classes in seawater from Bohai Bay, as well as their inter-relation with trace elements and other contaminants. The results show that tetracyclines (TCs) were detected in the highest concentration among the five classes (in the range of 0.6−2.0 μg/L). The total concentrations of the five classes of antibiotics were detected in the following order: tetracyclines (TCs) > quinolones (QAs) > sulfonamides (SAs) > macrolides (MAs) > lactams (LAs). Higher antibiotic concentrations were detected at the sampling sites closest to the coast or the shipping port. Among seven trace elements, four were quantitatively detected, with Zn representing the highest concentration. Antibiotic residuals were found to be positively correlated with total organic carbon (TOC), conductivity (Ec) and suspended solids (SS); pH and NH4+-N usually showed a negative correlation with antibiotics; TN and TP also exhibited relationships with antibiotics. The risk quotient (RQ) was calculated for different antibiotics at different sites. It was found that antibiotics pose higher risks to algae than to invertebrates or fish; sulfamethoxazole, enrofloxacin and ofloxacin were all found to pose high risk to algae at some of the sampling sites. Structural equation model (SEM) results show that trace elements, antibiotic levels and EC50 are the main factors affecting the ecological risks of antibiotics.

Abstract
Microplastics could accumulate and enrich antibiotics in the aquatic environment. Despite this, the joint effects of microplastics and antibiotics on aquatic organisms are not clear. Here, we investigated the changes of microbial interactions in both gill and gut of marine medaka exposed to polystyrene microbeads (PS) and/or tetracycline for 30 days by using co-occurrence network analysis based on 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences. We found that the single and combined effects of PS and tetracycline were more profound on the gut than on the gill microbiome. SourceTracker analysis showed that the relative contributions from the gill microbiome to the gut microbiome increased under combined exposure. Moreover, the combined exposure reduced the complexity and stability of the gut microbial network more than those induced by any single exposure, suggesting the synergistic effects of PS and tetracycline on the gut microbiome. The PS and tetracycline combined exposure also caused a shift in the keystone taxa of the gut microbial network. However, no similar pattern was found for gill microbial networks. Furthermore, single and combined exposure to PS and/or tetracycline altered the associations between the gut network taxa and indicator liver metabolites. Altogether, these findings enhanced our understanding of the hazards of the co-occurring environmental microplastics and antibiotics to the fish commensal microbiome.

Abstract
Phytoremediation has been a potential solution for the removal of pharmaceuticals from water. Here, we evaluated the toxicological safety of ciprofloxacin-contaminated water treated by 96 h with Salvinia molesta. The Neotropical catfish Rhamdia quelen was used as a model, and the potential of the phytoremediation technique for mitigating the drug accumulation in the fishes was also studied. Fish exposed to Cipro (1 and 10 µg·L-1) in untreated water showed toxic responses (alteration of hematological, genotoxicity, biochemical, and histopathological biomarkers) and accumulated Cipro in their muscles at concentrations high for human consumption (target hazardous quotient > 1). Fish exposed to water treated with S. molesta showed no toxic effect and no accumulation of Cipro in their tissues. This must be related to the fact that S. molesta removed up to 97% of Cipro from the water. The decrease in Cipro concentrations after water treatment with S. molesta not only prevented the toxic effects of Cipro on R. quelen fish but also prevented the antimicrobial accumulation in fish flesh, favouring safe consumption by humans. For the very first time, we showed the potential of phytoremediation as an efficiently nature-based solution to prevent environmental toxicological effects of antimicrobials to nontarget organisms such as fish and humans. The use of S. molesta for Cipro-removal from water is a green technology to be considered in the combat against antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
A new strain of Paenibacillus polymyxa S3 with antagonistic effects on 11 major fish pathogens (especially Aeromonas hydrophila), but had no toxicity to grass carp, was screened from the sediment of fishponds. In vivo colonization studies showed that strain S3 could be colonized and distributed in the gill and abdomen of the grass carp. Bioassay results showed that the weight growth rate of grass carp in the strain S3 oral group (16.01%) and strain S3 immersion group (16.44%) was significantly higher than those of the control group (8.61%). At the same time, the activities of ACP, AKP, CAT and GSH-Px in the serum of grass carp in oral and immersion groups were significantly higher than those of the control group. In addition, the treatment with strain S3 could significantly upregulate the expression of the antioxidant-related genes and immune-related genes Keap1, Nrf2, C3, LZM, IgM, TLR-4 and MyD-88 in grass carp tissues. The challenge test showed that strain S3 treatment significantly increased the survival rate of grass carp infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. Whole genome sequencing analysis showed that strain S3 had 16 active metabolite gene clusters, indicating that it had abundant gene resources, which provided important support for its development for fish microecological preparations. In summary, a new strain of Paenibacillus polymyxa S3 with antibacterial activity against a variety of fish pathogens was screened in this study and its probiotic function was evaluated, proving its potential value in fisheries.

Abstract
Antibiotic contamination could cause serious risks of ecotoxicity and resistance gene induction. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as Fenton, photocatalysis, activated persulfate, electrochemistry and other AOPs technologies have been proven effective in the degradation of high-risk, refractory organic pollutants such as antibiotics. However, due to the limited mineralization ability, a large number of degradation intermediates will be produced in the oxidation process. The residual or undiscovered ecological risks of degradation products are potential safety hazards and problems necessitating comprehensive studies. In-depth investigations especially on the full assessments of ecotoxicity and resistance genes induction capability of antibiotic degradation products are important issues in reducing the environmental problems of antibiotics. Therefore, this review presents an overview of the current knowledge on the efficiency of different AOPs systems in reducing antibiotics toxicity and antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Treatment of recalcitrant and xenobiotic pharmaceutical compounds in polluted waters have gained significant attention of the environmental scientists. Antibiotics are diffused into the environment widely owing to their high usages, very particularly in the last two years due to over consumption during covid 19 pandemic worldwide. Quinolones are very effective antibiotics, but do not get completely metabolized due to which they pose severe health hazards if discharged without proper treatment. The commonly reported treatment methods for quinolones are adsorption and advanced oxidation methods. In both the treatment methods, metal organic frameworks (MOF) have been proved to be promising materials used as stand-alone or combined technique. Many composite MOF materials synthesized from renewable, natural, and harmless materials by eco-friendly techniques have been reported to be effective in the treatment of quinolones. In the present article, special focus is given on the abatement of norfloxacin and ofloxacin contaminated wastewater using MOFs by adsorption, oxidation/ozonation, photocatalytic degradation, electro-fenton methods, etc. However, integration of adsorption with any advanced oxidation methods was found to be best remediation technique. Of various MOFs reported by several researchers, the MIL-101(Cr)-SO3H composite was able to give 99% removal of norfloxacin by adsorption. The MIL - 88A(Fe) composite and Fe LDH carbon felt cathode were reported to yield 100% degradation of ofloxacin by photo-Fenton and electro-fenton methods respectively. The synthesis methods and mechanism of action of MOFs towards the treatment of norfloxacin and ofloxacin as reported by several investigation reports are also presented.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 311:119985.

Abstract
Quinolone antibiotics (QNs) pollution in lake environments is increasingly raising public concern due to their potential combined toxicity and associated risks. However, the spatiotemporal distribution and trophodynamics of QNs in transit-station lakes for water diversion are not well documented or understood. In this study, a comprehensive investigation of QNs in water, sediment, and aquatic fauna, including norfloxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR), and ofloxacin (OFL), was conducted in Luoma Lake, a major transit station for the eastern route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China. The target QNs were widely distributed in the water (∑QNs: 70.12 ± 62.79 ng/L) and sediment samples (∑QNs: 13.35 ± 10.78 ng/g dw) in both the non-diversion period (NDP) and the diversion period (DP), where NOR and ENR were predominant. All the QNs were detected in all biotic samples in DP (∑QNs: 80.04 ± 20.59 ng/g dw). The concentration of ∑QNs in the water in NDP was significantly higher than those in DP, whereas the concentration in the sediments in NDP was comparable to those in DP. ∑QNs in the water-sediment system exhibited decreasing trends from northwest (NW) to southeast (SE) in both periods; however, the Koc (organic carbon normalized partition coefficients) of individual QNs in DP sharply rose compared with those in NDP, which indicated that water diversion would alter the environmental fate of QNs in Luoma Lake. In DP, all QNs, excluding NOR, were all biodiluted across the food web; whereas their bioaccumulation potentials in the SE subregion were higher than those in the NW subregion, which was in contrast to the spatial distribution of their exposure concentrations. The estimated daily QN intakes via drinking water and aquatic products suggested that residents in the SE side were exposed to greater health risks, despite less aquatic pollution in the region.

Abstract
In this study, biochar derived from bamboo pretreated with aluminum salt was synthesized for the removal of two sulfonamide antibiotics, sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulfapyridine (SPY), from wastewater. Batch sorption experiments showed that Al-modified bamboo biochar (Al-BB-600) removed both sulfonamides effectively with the maximum sorption capacity of 1200-2200 mg/kg. The sorption mechanism was mainly controlled by hydrophobic, π-π, and electrostatic interactions. Fixed bed column experiments with Al-modified biochar packed in different dosages (250, 500 and 1000 mg) and flow rates (1, 2 and 4 mL/min) showed the dosage of 1000 mg and flow rate of 1 mL/min performed the best for the removal of both SMX and SPY from wastewater. Among the breakthrough (BT) models used to evaluate the fixed bed filtration performance of Al-BB-600, the Yan model best described the BT behavior of the two sulfonamides, suggesting that the adsorption process involved multiple rate-liming factors such as mass transfer at the solid surface and diffusion Additionally, the Bed Depth Service Time (BDST) model results indicated that Al-BB-600 can be efficiently used in fixed bed column for the removal of both SMX and SPY in scaled-up continuous wastewater flow operations. Therefore, Al-modified biochar can be considered a reliable sorbent in real-world application for the removal of SMX and SPY from wastewater.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical drugs in the aquatic medium may pose significant risk to non-target organisms. In this study, the potential toxicity of a mixture of three compounds commonly detected in marine waters (ibuprofen, ciprofloxacin and flumequine) was assessed, by studying bioaccumulation, oxidative stress and neurotoxicity parameters (catalase CAT, superoxide dismutase SOD, glutathione reductase GR, glutathione S-transferase GST, lipid peroxidation LPO, glutathione peroxidase GPX, metallothionein MT and acetylcholinesterase AChE) in the clam Scrobicularia plana. Temporal evolution of selected endpoints was evaluated throughout an exposure period (1, 7 and 21 days) followed by a depuration phase. The accumulation of all drugs was fast, however clams showed the ability to control the internal content of drugs, keeping their concentration constant throughout the exposure and reducing their content after 7 days of depuration. The induction of biochemical alterations (SOD, CAT, LPO, MT, AChE) was observed in gills and digestive gland probably related to an imbalance in the redox state of clams as a consequence of the exposure to the drug mixture. These alterations were also maintained at the end of the depuration week when the high levels of SOD, CAT, GST and LPO indicated the persistence of oxidative stress and damage to lipids despite the fact that clams were no longer exposed to the mixture.

Abstract
For the first time, both spatial and temporal effects of fish feed on changes in abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were investigated in South Korea via quantifying ARGs and analyzing physicochemical parameters in the influent (IN) and effluent before (BF) and 30 min after (AF) the fish feeding time of sixteen flow-through fish farms. The absolute abundance of ARGs in AF samples was 5 times higher than in BF and 12 times higher than in IN samples. Values of physicochemical parameters such as ammonia, total nitrogen, suspended solids and turbidity in the effluent significantly increased by 21.6, 4.2, 2.6 and 1.65 times, respectively, after fish feeding. Spatially, the fish farms on Jeju Island exhibited higher relative abundance (3.02 × 10-4 - 6.1 × 10-2) of ARGs compared to the farms in nearby Jeollanam-do (3.4 × 10-5 - 8.3 × 10-3). Seasonally, samples in summer and autumn showed a higher abundance of ARGs than in winter and spring. To assess risk to the food chain as well as public health, further studies are warranted to explore the pathogenic potential of these ARGs.

Abstract
p-Toluene sulfonamide (p-TSA), a small molecular drug with antineoplastic activity is widely gaining interest from researchers because of its pharmacological activities. In this study, we explored the potential cardio and neural toxicity of p-TSA in sublethal concentrations by using zebrafish as an in vivo animal model. Based on the acute toxicity assay, the 96hr LC50 was estimated as 204.3 ppm, suggesting the overall toxicity of p-TSA is relatively low in zebrafish larvae. For the cardiotoxicity test, we found that p-TSA caused only a minor alteration in treated larvae after no overall significant alterations were observed in cardiac rhythm and cardiac physiology parameters, as supported by the results from expression level measurements of several cardiac development marker genes. On the other hand, we found that acute p-TSA exposure significantly increased the larval locomotion activity during the photomotor test while prolonged exposure (4 days) reduced the locomotor startle reflex activities in zebrafish. In addition, a higher respiratory rate and blood flow velocity was also observed in the acutely treated fish groups compared to the untreated group. Finally, by molecular docking, we found that p-TSA has a moderate binding affinity to skeletal muscle myosin II subfragment 1 (S1), ATPase activity, actin- and Ca2+-stimulated myosin S1 ATPase, and v-type proton ATPase. These binding interactions between p-TSA and proteins offer insights into the potential molecular mechanism of action of p-TSA on observed altered responses toward photo and vibration stimuli and minor altered vascular performance in the zebrafish larvae.

Evaluation of Locomotion Complexity in Zebrafish after Exposure to Twenty Antibiotics by Fractal Dimension and Entropy Analysis. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11081059.

Abstract
Antibiotics are extensively used in aquaculture to prevent bacterial infection and the spread of diseases. Some antibiotics have a relatively longer half-life in water and may induce some adverse effects on the targeted fish species. This study analyzed the potential adverse effects of antibiotics in zebrafish at the behavioral level by a phenomic approach. We conducted three-dimensional (3D) locomotion tracking for adult zebrafish after acute exposure to twenty different antibiotics at a concentration of 100 ppb for 10 days. Their locomotor complexity was analyzed and compared by fractal dimension and permutation entropy analysis. The dimensionality reduction method was performed by combining the data gathered from behavioral endpoints alteration. Principal component and hierarchical analysis conclude that three antibiotics: amoxicillin, trimethoprim, and tylosin, displayed unique characteristics. The effects of these three antibiotics at lower concentrations (1 and 10 ppb) were observed in a follow-up study. Based on the results, these antibiotics can trigger several behavioral alterations in adult zebrafish, even in low doses. Significant changes in locomotor behavioral activity, such as total distance activity, average speed, rapid movement time, angular velocity, time in top/bottom duration, and meandering movement are highly related to neurological motor impairments, anxiety levels, and stress responses were observed. This study provides evidence based on an in vivo experiment to support the idea that the usage of some antibiotics should be carefully addressed since they can induce a significant effect of behavioral alterations in fish.

Abstract
As an emerging pollutant, the increasing use of antibiotics in wastewater posed a serious threat to non-target organisms in the environment. Duckweed (Spirodela polyrrhiza) is a common higher aquatic plant broadly used in phytotoxicity tests for xenobiotic substances. The aim of this study was to evaluate the chronic toxicity of norfloxacin (NOR) on Spirodela polyrrhiza during 18 days of exposure. Our study investigated the addition of NOR into the medium with environment-related concentrations (0, 0.1, 10, and 1000 μg L-1). Subsequently, biomarkers of toxicity such as growth, pigment, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, indicators of oxidative stress, and osmotic regulatory substances content were analyzed in duckweed. In response to NOR exposure, obvious chlorosis, declines in growth and photosynthetic pigment, and photosystem II inhibition were noted in a concentration dependent manner. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant activity content increased in the treated fronds, which indicated that oxidative stress was specifically affected by NOR exposure. A slight increase in osmotic regulatory substances in NOR treated setups than in the control represented the increasing stress resistance. These results suggest NOR exerts its toxic effects on the aquatic plant Spirodela polyrrhiza.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 824:153967. [PMID: 35182634 PMCID: PMC8849850 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2021] [Revised: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
In coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), among many protocols, lopinavir and ritonavir in individual or combined forms with other drugs have been used, causing an increase in the concentration of antiviral drugs in the wastewater and hospital effluents. In conventional wastewater treatment plants, the removal efficiency of various antiviral drugs is estimated to be low (<20%). The high values of predicted no-effect concentration (PNEC) for lopinavir and ritonavir (in ng∙L-1) reveal their high chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms. This indicates that lopinavir and ritonavir are current priority antiviral drugs that need to be thoroughly monitored and effectively removed from any water and wastewater samples. In this study, we attempt to explore the impacts of two photo-induced processes (photolysis and photocatalysis) on the toxicity of treated water and wastewater samples containing lopinavir and ritonavir to zebrafish (Danio rerio) and marine bacteria (Allivibrio fischeri). The obtained results reveal that traces of lopinavir in water under photo-induced processes may cause severe problems for Danio rerio, including pericardial edema and shortening of the tail, affecting its behavior, and for Allivibrio fischeri as a result of the oxygen-depleted environment, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Hence, lopinavir must be removed from water and wastewater before being in contact with light. In contrast, the photo-induced processes of ritonavir-containing water and wastewater reduce the toxicity significantly. This shows that even if the physicochemical parameters of water and wastewater are within the standard requirements/limits, the presence of traces of antiviral drugs and their intermediates can affect the survival and behavior of Danio rerio and Allivibrio fischeri. Therefore, the photo-induced processes and additional treatment of water and wastewater containing ritonavir can minimize its toxic effect.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:44513-44522. [PMID: 35133590 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-18995-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Currently, there is a relatively lack of relevant research on the interference effect of quinolone antibiotics on the endocrine of aquatic animals. In this study, the toxicity of norfloxacin (NOR) on the endocrine system of juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was evaluated, as well as the hematocyte parameters. Specifically, two important endocrine axes were assessed: the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis and hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Norfloxacin was used as a representative of quinolone antibiotics. According to the concentration of water pollution areas and considering the bad situation that may be caused by wastewater discharge, a control, 100 ng/L NOR, and 1 mg/L NOR treatment groups were set up. The juvenile carp, as the test animal, was subjected to an exposure experiment for 42 days. Thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and related genes in HPT axis and sex hormones (11-ketotestosterone [11-KT] and progesterone [PROG]) and related genes in HPG axis and blood count are tested. It was found that the T4 iodine level and conversion process were enhanced after NOR treatment, which in turn led to the increase of T3 content and biological activity in the blood. One hundred nanograms per liter NOR can inhibit the level of sex hormones and inhibit the expression of HPG axis-related genes. In the 1 mg/L NOR treatment group, long-term exposure over a certain concentration range may lead to the development of adaptive mechanisms, making the changes in hormones and related genes insignificant. In conclusion, this study provides reference data for the endocrine interference of quinolone antibiotics on aquatic organisms, and has ecological significance for assessing the health of fish populations of quinolone antibiotics. However, the specific sites and mechanisms of action related to the effects of NOR on the endocrine system remain unclear and require further study.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is commonly detected in water worldwide, however, the ecotoxicological effects to aquatic biota is still not fully understood. In this study, using multiple biomarkers, it was investigated sublethal effects of short-term exposure to Cipro concentrations (1, 10 and 100 μg.L-1) in the Neotropical catfish Rhamdia quelen compared to non-exposure treatment (Control). After 96 h of exposure, the fishes were anesthetized for blood collection to hematological and genotoxicity biomarkers analysis. After euthanasia, the brain and muscle were sampled for biochemical biomarkers analyses. Gills, liver and posterior kidney for genotoxicity, biochemical and histopathological biomarkers analysis and anterior intestine for histopathological biomarkers analysis. Genotoxicity was observed in all tissues, regardless of the Cipro concentrations. Hematological alterations, such as reduction of the number of erythrocytes and leucocytes, as well as in hematocrit concentration and histopathological damages, such as reduction of microridges in gill epithelium and necrosis in liver and posterior kidney, occurred mainly at 100 μg.L-1. In addition, at 100 μg.L-1, Cipro increased antioxidant system activity (Catalase in liver and posterior kidney). These results demonstrated that under short-term exposure, Cipro causes toxic effects in R. quelen that demands attention and surveillance of environmental aquatic concentrations of this antibiotic.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) (human use) and enrofloxacin (ENR) (veterinary use) are synthetic anti-infectious medications that belong to the second generation of fluoroquinolones. They have a wide antimicrobial spectrum and strong bactericidal effects at very low concentrations via enzymatic inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are required for DNA replication. They also have high bioavailability, rapid absorption with favorable pharmacokinetics and excellent tissue penetration, including cerebral spinal fluid. These features have made them the most applied antibiotics in both human and veterinary medicine. ENR is marketed exclusively for animal medicine and has been widely used as a therapeutic veterinary antibiotic, resulting in its residue in edible tissues and aquatic environments, as well as the development of resistance and toxicity. Estimation of the risks to humans due to antimicrobial resistance produced by CIP and ENR is important and of great interest. Moreover, in rare cases due to their overdose and/or prolonged administration, the development of CIP and ENR toxicity may occur. The toxicity of these fluoroquinolones antimicrobials is mainly related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress (OS) generation, besides metabolism-related toxicity. Therefore, CIP is restricted in pregnant and lactating women, pediatrics and elderly similarly ENR do in the veterinary field. This review manuscript aims to identify the toxicity induced by ROS and OS as a common sequel of CIP and ENR. Furthermore, their metabolism and the role of metabolizing enzymes were reported.
