Abstract
The degradation of tilmicosin (TLM), a semi-synthetic 16-membered macrolide antibiotic, has been receiving increasing attention. Conventionally, there are three tilmicosin degradation methods, and among them microbial degradation is considered the best due to its high efficiency, eco-friendliness, and low cost. Coincidently, we found a new strain, Glutamicibacter nicotianae sp. AT6, capable of degrading high-concentration TLM at 100 mg/L with a 97% removal efficiency. The role of tryptone was as well investigated, and the results revealed that the loading of tryptone had a significant influence on TLM removals. The toxicity assessment indicated that strain AT6 could efficiently convert TLM into less-toxic substances. Based on the identified intermediates, the degradation of TLM by AT6 processing through two distinct pathways was then proposed.

Abstract
Tilmicosin, a macrolide antibiotic, has the potential to treat bacterial infections in donkeys. However, the pharmacokinetics of tilmicosin in donkeys have not been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of tilmicosin in donkey plasma, urine, and feces after a single intragastric administration to determine the suitability of tilmicosin for donkeys. A total of 5 healthy male donkeys with similar body weights were selected. The donkeys were administered a single dose of 10 mg · kg-1 body weight (BW) tilmicosin by gavage. The concentrations of tilmicosin in plasma, urine, and feces were determined. The results showed that after a single intragastric administration of 10 mg · kg-1 body weight, tilmicosin in donkey plasma reached a maximum concentration of 11.23 ± 5.37 mg · L-1 at 0.80 ± 0.10 h, with a half-life of 14.49 ± 7.13 h, a mean residence time of 28.05 ± 3.05 h, a Cl/F of 0.48 ± 0.18 L · kg-1 · h-1, and a Vd/F of 9.28 ± 2.63 Lkg-1. The percentage of tilmicosin excreted through the urine of donkeys is 2.47%, and the percentage excreted through the feces is 66.43%. Our study provides data to inform the use of tilmicosin in donkeys.

Residues of veterinary antibiotics in manures from pig and chicken farms in a context of antimicrobial use reduction by implementation of health and welfare plans. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 238:117242. [PMID: 37769831 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
The use of antibiotics in food-producing animals can induce the presence of residual substances in manure, which are then released into the environment and may contribute to soil and groundwater contamination. During the on-farm implementation of strategies to improve animal health and welfare in chicken and pig farms, the consequences of antibiotic use were evaluated in terms of the occurrence and levels of antibiotic residues in manure. A set of 35 broiler farms from Cyprus, Greece, the Netherlands and 40 pig farms from France and Italy provided a total of 350 manure samples. The primary objective was to develop a specific LC/MS/MS method capable of quantifying antibiotic residues in both types of manure. The method was able to detect fifteen antibiotics belonging to nine classes, with validated limits of quantification of 10-20 μg/kg, and accuracies ranging from 81% to 138%. With the exception of amoxicillin, which was never detected in any manure, all antibiotics used were detected in manure from treated animals with typical concentrations ranging from 10 to 99198 μg/kg for both chickens and pigs. The occurrence of residual antibiotics was higher in chicken than in pig manure, especially for fluoroquinolones and doxycycline which were detected in 89% and 100% of the chicken manure, respectively, and in 28% of the pig manure. The impact of the health plans on the antibiotic load manure was assessed by measuring for each farm the ratio of the sum of all antibiotic concentrations measured after and before the implementation of the plan. The results showed that, in addition to the frequency of treatments, the class of antibiotic used is an important factor to consider as it strongly influences the stability/instability of the compounds, i.e. their ability to persist in the manure of food-producing animals.

Occurrence profiling and environmental risk assessment of veterinary antibiotics in vegetable soils at Chongqing region, China. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 227:115799.

Abstract
Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) are emerging contaminants in soils as they may pose high risks to the ecosystem and human health. Identifying VAs accumulation in soils is essential for assessing their potential risks. Therefore, we investigated the distribution of VAs in soils from vegetable fields and evaluated their potential ecological and antimicrobial resistance risks in the Chongqing region of the Three Gorges Reservoir area, China. Results indicated that twenty-six species of VAs, including nine sulfonamides (SAs), seven quinolones (QNs), four tetracyclines (TCs), four macrolides (MLs), and two other species of VAs were detected in soils, with their accumulative levels ranging from 1.4 to 3145.7 μg kg-1. TCs and QNs were the dominant VAs species in soils with high detection frequencies (100% TCs and 80.6% for QNs) and accumulative concentration (up to 1195 μg kg-1 for TCs and up to 485 μg kg-1 for QNs). Risk assessment indices showed that VAs (specifically SAs, TCs, and QNs) in most vegetable soils would pose a medium to high risk to the ecosystem and antimicrobial resistance. Mixture of VAs posed a higher risk to soil organisms, antimicrobial resistance, and plants than to aquatic organisms. Modeling analysis indicated that socioeconomic conditions, farmers' education levels, agricultural practices, and soil properties were the main factors governing VAs accumulation and environmental risks. Farmers with a high educational level owned large-scale farms and were more willing to use organic fertilizers for vegetable production, which eventually led to high VAs accumulation in vegetable soil. These findings would provide a reference for sustainable agricultural and environmental production under the current scenario of chemical fertilizer substitution by organic products and green agricultural development.

Abstract
Albendazole (ABZ), a broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug frequently used in livestock against parasitic worms (helminths), enters the environment mainly via faeces of treated animals left in the pastures or used as dung for field fertilization. To obtain information about the subsequent fate of ABZ, the distribution of ABZ and its metabolites in the soil around faeces along with uptake and effects in plants were monitored under real agricultural conditions. Sheep were treated with a recommended dose of ABZ; faeces were collected and used to fertilize fields with fodder plants. Soil samples (in two depths) and samples of two plants, clover (Trifolium pratense) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa), were collected at distances 0-75 cm from the faeces for 3 months after fertilization. The environmental samples were extracted using QuEChERS and LLE sample preparation procedures. The targeted analysis of ABZ and its metabolites was conducted by using the validated UHPLC-MS method. Two main ABZ metabolites, ABZ-sulfoxide (anthelmintically active) and ABZ-sulfone (inactive), persisted in soil (up to 25 cm from faeces) and in plants for three months when the experiment ended. In plants, ABZ metabolites were detected even 60 cm from the faeces and abiotic stress was observed in the central plants. The considerable distribution and persistence of ABZ metabolites in soil and plants amplify the negative environmental impact of ABZ documented in other studies.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 854:158792.

Abstract
To control the concentrations of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in the surface water of urban and rural areas, it is important to explore the spatial variation in source-specific ecological risks and identify critical sources. Here, we focused on 22 PPCPs found in the effluent from wastewater treatment plants and surface water in Tianjin, and source-specific risk was quantitatively apportioned combining positive matrix factorization with ecological risk assessment. Results showed that rural areas exhibited a more severe contamination level than urban areas. Medical wastewater (30.1 %) accounted for the highest proportion, while domestic sewage posed the greatest threat to aquatic ecosystems. The incidence of potential risks (RQ > 0.01) caused by domestic sewage in urban areas (88.9 %) was higher than that in rural areas (75.9 %). However, PPCP risks caused by farmland drainage, aquaculture, and livestock discharge were mainly distributed in rural areas. The critical source identified in the entire region was domestic sewage (weight, 0.36), and its weight (0.51) in urban areas was greater than that in rural areas (0.32). The impact of aquaculture (weight, 0.16) in rural areas was noteworthy. These findings may contribute to developing environmental management strategies in key areas to help alleviate PPCP contamination worldwide.
