Abstract
Antibiotics' widespread and abusive use in aquaculture and livestock leads to extensive environmental dissemination and dispersion, consequently increasing antibiotic-resistant bacteria in marine ecosystems. Hence, there is an increased need for efficient methods for identifying and quantifying antibiotic residues in soils and sediments. From a review of the last 20 years, we propose and compare different chromatographic techniques for detecting and quantifying antibiotics in sediment samples from marine ecosystems, particularly in mangrove forest sediments. The methods typically include three stages: extraction of antibiotics from the solid matrix, cleaning, and concentration of samples before quantification. We address the leading causes of the occurrence of antibiotics in marine ecosystem sediments and analyze the most appropriate methods for each analytical stage. Ultimately, selecting a method for identifying antibiotic residues depends on multiple factors, ranging from the nature and physicochemical properties of the analytes to the availability of the necessary equipment and the available resources.

Abstract
A recognition motif is vital in determining the specificity and sensitivity of the fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) for detecting chemical contaminants in food. Four candidates (Gyrase, GyrBA, TopIV, and QepA) were prepared for this study. The applicability of QepA was confirmed through DNA cleavage assay, inhibition effects, and mechanism investigations using molecular docking, compared to other counterparts. Finally, a novel FPA based on QepA and a CIP-FITC tracer for the detection of fluoroquinolones (FQs) in eggs was developed. The limits of detection (LODs) for eight fluoroquinolones ranged from 2.2 to 5.1 ng g-1, with enrofloxacin, danofloxacin, and difloxacin meeting the maximum residue limits (MRLs). The spiked recoveries ranged from 65.8 to 103.6% with coefficients of variation (CVs) of 5.4-12.8%. Therefore, a new recognition motif for FQs that did not belong to conventional antibodies was identified, and QepA-based FPA could be a potential tool for rapid, homogeneous, and sensitive monitoring of the residue of FQs in eggs.

Abstract
Environmental protection and food safety are closely related to the healthy development of human society; there is an urgent need for relevant analytical methods to determine environmental pollutants and harmful substances in food. Molecular imprinting-based ratiometric fluorescence (MI-RFL) sensors, constructed by combining molecular imprinting recognition and ratiometric fluorescence detection, possess remarkable advantages such as high selectivity, anti-interference ability, high sensitivity, non-destruction and convenience, and have attracted increasing interest in the field of analytical determination. Herein, recent advances in MI-RFL sensors for environmental and food analysis are reviewed, aiming at new construction strategies and representative determination applications. Firstly, fluorescence sources and possible sensing principles are briefly outlined. Secondly, new imprinting techniques and dual/ternary-emission fluorescence types that improve sensing performances are highlighted. Thirdly, typical analytical applications of MI-RFL sensors in environmental and food samples are summarized. Lastly, the challenges and perspectives of the MI-RFL sensors are proposed, focusing on improving sensitivity/visualization and extending applications.

Digestate from Agricultural Biogas Plants as a Reservoir of Antimicrobials and Antibiotic Resistance Genes-Implications for the Environment. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:2672. [PMID: 36768038 PMCID: PMC9915926 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20032672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Antimicrobials and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in substrates processed during anaerobic digestion in agricultural biogas plants (BPs) can reach the digestate (D), which is used as fertilizer. Antimicrobials and ARGs can be transferred to agricultural land, which increases their concentrations in the environment. The concentrations of 13 antibiotics in digestate samples from biogas plants (BPs) were investigated in this study. The abundance of ARGs encoding resistance to beta-lactams, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin antibiotics, and the integrase genes were determined in the analyzed samples. The presence of cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium, zinc, and mercury was also examined. Antimicrobials were not eliminated during anaerobic digestion. Their concentrations differed in digestates obtained from different substrates and in liquid and solid fractions (ranging from 62.8 ng/g clarithromycin in the solid fraction of sewage sludge digestate to 1555.9 ng/L doxycycline in the liquid fraction of cattle manure digestate). Digestates obtained from plant-based substrates were characterized by high concentrations of ARGs (ranging from 5.73 × 102 copies/gDcfxA to 2.98 × 109 copies/gDsul1). The samples also contained mercury (0.5 mg/kg dry mass (dm)) and zinc (830 mg/kg dm). The results confirmed that digestate is a reservoir of ARGs (5.73 × 102 to 8.89 × 1010 copies/gD) and heavy metals (HMs). In addition, high concentrations of integrase genes (105 to 107 copies/gD) in the samples indicate that mobile genetic elements may be involved in the spread of antibiotic resistance. The study suggested that the risk of soil contamination with antibiotics, HMs, and ARGs is high in farms where digestate is used as fertilizer.

Analytical key issues and challenges in the LC-MS/MS determination of antibiotics in wastewater. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1239:340739.

Abstract
The research on antibiotics occurrence in the aquatic environment has become a hot topic in the last years due to their potential negative effects, associated to possible bacterial antibiotic-resistance, after continuous exposure to these compounds. Most of antibiotic residues are not completely removed in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and end up in the aquatic environment through treated wastewater (WW). The development of reliable analytical methodologies for the determination of antibiotics in influent (IWW) and effluent wastewater (EWW) is needed with different purposes, among others: monitoring their occurrence in the aquatic environment, performing environmental risk assessment, estimating removal efficiencies of WWTPs, or estimating the consumption of these compounds. In this paper, we perform an in-depth investigation on analytical key issues that pose difficulties in the determination of antibiotics in complex matrices, such as WW, and we identify challenges to be properly addressed for successful analysis. The analytical technique selected was liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), as it is the most powerful and widely applied at present for antibiotic residues determination. The mass spectrometric behavior of 18 selected antibiotics, the chromatographic performance, ion ratio variations associated to the sample matrix when using different precursor ions or protomers, and the macrolides adsorption to glass vial, were some of the issues studied in this work. On the basis of the detailed study performed, an analytical LC-MS/MS method based on sample direct injection has been developed for quantification of 18 antibiotics in IWW and EWW, allowing their determination at low ng L-1 levels.

Improved LC/MS/MS Quantification Using Dual Deuterated Isomers as the Surrogates: A Case Analysis of Enrofloxacin Residue in Aquatic Products. Foods 2023; 12:foods12010224.

Abstract
Extensive and high residue variations in enrofloxacin (ENR) exist in different aquatic products. A novel quantitative method for measuring ENR using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed employing enrofloxacin-d5 (ENR-d5) and enrofloxacin-d3 (ENR-d3) as isotope surrogates. This reduced the deviation of detected values, which results from the overpass of the linear range and/or the large difference in the residue between the isotope standard and ENR, from the actual content. Furthermore, high residue levels of ENR can be directly diluted and re-calibrated by the corresponding curve with the addition of high levels of another internal surrogate without repeated sample preparation, avoiding the overflow of the instrument response. The validation results demonstrated that the method can simultaneously determine ENR residues from MQL (2 µg/kg) to 5000 × MQL (method quantification limit) with recoveries between 97.1 and 106%, and intra-precision of no more than 2.14%. This method realized a wide linear calibration range with dual deuterated isomers, which has not been previously reported in the literature. The developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of ENR in different aquatic products, with ENR residue levels varying from 108 to 4340 μg/kg and an interval of precision in the range of 0.175~6.72%. These results demonstrate that batch samples with a high variation in ENR residues (over the linear range with a single isotope standard) can be detected by the dual isotope surrogates method in a single sample preparation process.

Abstract
An analytical method for the simultaneous extraction and determination of eight veterinary antibiotics in swine wastewater and activated sludge was developed and validated based on the instrumental determination by liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry. Ultrasound-assisted extraction and solid-phase extraction were introduced into the pretreatment procedure of the two complex environmental matrices. The critical steps involved in the sample pretreatment procedure and the instrumental analysis conditions were optimized progressively. Recoveries of the optimized method were good with 75.3-118.2% in wastewater and 82.8-130.1% in sludge. The absolute deviations of methods were lower than 11.7%, presenting a high reproducibility and precision. The limits of quantification for the eight pharmaceuticals in wastewater and sludge were 5-15 ng·L-1 and 2-6 ng·g-1, showing high sensitivity of the methods. The developed method has been successfully applied to evaluate the actual concentration levels of tetracyclines, quinolones, and sulfonamides in actual swine wastewater (maximum detected concentration of 87.377 μg·L-1) and activated sludge (maximum detected concentration of 51242.3 ng·g-1).

Ratiometric fluorescence and visual determination of tetracycline antibiotics based on Y 3+ and copper nanoclusters-induced cascade signal amplification. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:352.

Abstract
A ratiometric fluorescence probe is proposed for sensitive and visual detection of tetracyclinee (TC) based on cascade fluorescence signal amplification induced by bovine serum albumin-stabilized copper nanoclusters (BSA-CuNCs) and yttrium ions (Y3+). TC can combine with Y3+ to form the complex (TC-Y3+) to enhance the fluorescence of TC at 515 nm. Then, positively charged TC-Y3+ and negatively charged BSA-CuNCs was bonded together by electrostatic interactions to achieve the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process. With the increase of TC concentration, the fluorescence intensity of TC-Y3+ at 515 nm (F515) gradually increased; meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity of BSA-CuNCs at 405 nm (F405) decreased gradually. The ratio of F515 and F405 was used for the quantitative determination of TC. The linear range of the constructed fluorescent probe is 1.0 to 60.0 μM, and the limit of detection is 0.22 μM. The method was successfully applied to the determination of TC in spiked milk with recoveries ranging from 94.3 to 112%. Furthermore, the color of this platform can be observed from dark violet to bright green under the UV lamp. Since the response time of the reaction is less than 10 s, an intelligent sensing platform based on the use of the smartphone as image acquisition equipment was also established to realize rapid on-site and portable detection of TC through the colorimetric recognition application.

Abstract
With the increasing use of antibiotics worldwide, antibiotic monitoring has become a topic of concern. After metabolizing of antibiotics in animals, the metabolites enter the environment through excreta or ingested by the human body via food chain that may exacerbate the emergence of antibiotic resistance and then threaten human's life. This article summarized several analytical methods used for the determination of antibiotics in recent 10 years. Due to the complex matrices and low concentration level of antibiotics in the food samples, a reliable analysis method is required to maximize the recovery rate. Several techniques like solid phase extraction (SPE), dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and QuEChERS have been frequently used in the pretreatment process for analytes extraction and concentration. After the pretreatment, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry has been a reliable method for quantitative analysis and is able to determine multiple antibiotics simultaneously. This review also gives an overview about analytical conditions for antibiotics residues in different food samples and their method validation parameters.

Abstract
Cephalosporin antibiotics, a group of widely prescribed antibiotics, are frequently detected in wastewater effluent and in the natural aquatic environment. Materials have been sought to effectively degrade the antibiotics. In this study, a novel high-iron clay was prepared with potassium ferrate and montmorillonite via a strong alkaline in situ synthesis method. Degradation of cefazolin sodium (CFZ) by this novel Fe (VI)-clay was investigated. The optimal conditions for the degradation of CFZ were determined using a single factor experiment and response surface optimization method. We found that 89.84% removal efficiency was obtained in 137 min when pH value was 5.16 and Fe (VI)-clay dosage was 0.79 g. The CFZ degradation mechanism was studied by computations on the Frontier Electron Density (FED) in combination with spectroscopic and mass spectroscopic analysis. The spectroscopic characteristics of the products at different stages showed that the oxidation decomposition reaction occurred during the degradation of CFZ by Fe (VI)-clay. Furthermore, FED calculation combined with GC-MS results showed that the degradation pathways of CFZ by the Fe (VI)-clay was mainly the cleavage of β-lactam, thiadiazole, tetrazole, and dihydrothiazine rings.

Abstract
Sludge agronomical reuse is of major interest due to the beneficial contribution of nutrients. However, it implies the introduction of unregulated pharmaceuticals into amended-soils and creates a controversial issue about sludge management. To limit their dissemination, it is essential to identify the compounds of interest and understand their attenuation mechanisms through the sludge processes. This paper summarizes the knowledge on 455 investigated pharmaceuticals among 32 therapeutical categories in amendable sludge matrices. It contributes to enlarging the list of commonly quantified compounds to 305 residues including 84 additional compounds compared to previous reviews. It highlights that sorption appears as the main mechanism controlling the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in sludge matrices and shows the considerable residual levels of pharmaceuticals reaching several mg/kg in dry weight. Antibiotics, stimulants, and antidepressants show the highest concentrations up to 232 mg/kg, while diuretics, anti-anxieties or anticoagulants present the lowest concentrations reaching up to 686 µg/kg. Collected data show the increase in investigated compounds as antifungals or antihistamines, and underline emerging categories like antidiabetics, antivirals, or antiarrhythmics. The in-depth analysis of the substantial database guides onto the pharmaceuticals that are the most likely to occur in these amendable matrices to assist future research.

In-situ formation/decomposition of deep eutectic solvent during solidification of floating organic droplet-liquid-liquid microextraction method for the extraction of some antibiotics from honey prior to high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1660:462653. [PMID: 34788672 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2021.462653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2021] [Revised: 10/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
A new liquid-liquid microextraction approach by applying a deep eutectic solvent was adopted for the extraction of four antibiotics (penicillin G, dihydrostreptomycin, enrofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin) from honey samples. The enriched analytes were analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS. The procedure was carried out by synthesis of tetrabutylammonium chloride: p-cresol deep eutectic solvent in the sample solution and then its decomposition in the presence of an acid. In-solution formation of deep eutectic solvent provided wide contact areas among the extractant and sample solution, and accelerated sample preparation. Also, its decomposition enabled collection of the final extraction phase without centrifugation. Low LODs (0.55-0.79 ng/g) and LOQs (1.9-2.6 ng/g), high ERs (70-92%), and suitable RSDs (≤ 6.9%) were obtained. After performing the method on real samples, dihydrostreptomycin was found in several honey samples.

Abstract
Metronidazole (MET) is a commonly detected contaminant in the environment. The compound is classified as poorly biodegradable and highly soluble in water. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is the most promoted water purification method due to the possibility of using sunlight and small amounts of a catalyst needed for the process. The aim of this study was to select conditions for photocatalytic removal of metronidazole from aquatic samples. The effect of catalyst type, mass, and irradiance intensity on the efficiency of metronidazole removal was determined. For this purpose, TiO2, ZnO, ZrO2, WO3, PbS, and their mixtures in a mass ratio of 1:1 were used. In this study, the transformation products formed were identified, and the mineralization degree of compound was determined. The efficiency of metronidazole removal depending on the type of catalyst was in the range of 50-95%. The highest MET conversion (95%) combined with a high degree of mineralization (70.3%) was obtained by using a mixture of 12.5 g TiO2-P25 + PbS (1:1; v/v) and running the process for 60 min at an irradiance of 1000 W m-2. Four MET degradation products were identified by untargeted analysis, formed by the rearrangement of the metronidazole and the C-C bond breaking.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues are being continuously recognized in the aquatic environment and in food. Though the concentration of antibiotic residues is typically low, adverse effects on the environment and human health have been observed. Hence, an efficient method to determine numerous antibiotic residues should be simple, inexpensive, selective, with high throughput and with low detection limits. Liquid-based extractions have been exceedingly used for clean-up and preconcentration of antibiotics prior to chromatographic analysis. In order to make methods more green and environmentally sustainable, conventional hazardous organic solvents can be replaced with green solvents. This review presents sampling strategies as well as comprehensive and up-to-date methods for chemical analysis of antibiotic residues in different sample matrices. Particularly, solvent-based sample preparation techniques using green solvents are discussed along with applications in antibiotic residue analysis.

Abstract
A challenging task in analytical chemistry is an application of renewable and natural materials for isolation of hazardous substances such as antimicrobial drugs from environmental samples. The energy-efficient scalable hydrothermal procedure to fabricate the eco-friendly "switchable" sorbent based on hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with in situ modified surface using a small amount of capping agents was developed. Sorbents characterization including the surface composition investigation via quantum-chemical calculation based on the original approach was provided. The sorbents demonstrated well expressed controllable surface switching and high values of the sorption and elution efficiency for tetracycline, oxytetracycline, and chlortetracycline achieved by simple change of the medium pH. These processes were thoroughly discussed based on the results of chemical and computational experiments. A simple and universal strategy for choosing a suitable sorbent for solid phase extraction of target analytes was proposed for the first time. It was shown that the developed eco-friendly sample preparation procedure with use of biocompatible sorbents could be applied both for removal of target analytes from sample matrix (water samples) as well as for the quantitative analytes determination after elution step. It is believed that the presented research is significant for the determination of different amphoteric analytes in wide variety of samples.

Abstract
This manuscript describes a new multiresidue method utilising ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) via multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), for the identification and quantification of 58 antibiotics and their 26 metabolites, in various solid and liquid environmental matrices. The method was designed with a ‘one health’ approach in mind requiring multidisciplinary and multisectoral collaborative efforts. It enables comprehensive evaluation of antibiotic usage in surveyed communities via wastewater-based epidemiology, as well as allowing for the assessment of potential environmental impacts. The instrumental performance was very good, demonstrating linearity up to 3000 μg L−1, and high accuracy and precision. The method accuracy in several compounds was significantly improved by dividing calibration curves into separate ranges. This was accompanied by applying a weighting factor (1/x). Microwave-assisted and/or solid-phase extraction of analytes from liquid and solid matrices provided good recoveries for most compounds, with only a few analytes underperforming. Method quantification limits were determined as low as 0.017 ng L−1 in river water, 0.044 ng L−1 in wastewater, 0.008 ng g−1 in river sediment, and 0.009 ng g−1 in suspended solids. Overall, the method was successfully validated for the quantification of 64 analytes extracted from aqueous samples, and 45 from solids. The analytes that underperformed are considered on a semi-quantitative basis, including aminoglycosides and carbapenems. The method was applied to both solid and liquid environmental matrices, whereby several antibiotics and their metabolites were quantified. The most notable antibiotic-metabolite pairs are three sulfonamides and their N-acetyl metabolites; four macrolides/lincomycins and their N-desmethyl metabolites; and five quinolone metabolites.

Abstract
Antimicrobials are currently used in poultry for disease treatment. However, their excretion in bird feces may contaminate the environment. Considering this, the objective of this work was to quantify antimicrobials residues concentrations in therapeutically treated broiler chicken droppings throughout the post-treatment period. For this aim a multiresidue method using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was validated. Forty-eight male broiler chickens were distributed and treated with commercial formulations of 5 different antimicrobials. Results showed that oxytetracycline and 4-epi-oxytetracycline, presented the highest concentrations during all sampling period, detecting concentrations of 1471.41 µg kg−1 at the last sampling point (day 22 post-treatment). Florfenicol, tylosin, enrofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin were eliminated and detected in treated chicken droppings until d 18 post-treatment. Sulfachloropyridazine decrease gradually during post-treatment period until day 30. Results demonstrate that studied antimicrobials in treated chicken droppings were eliminated for prolonged periods, therefore becoming a significant route of residues dissemination into the environment.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence of sulfathiazole (STZ) in the environment has raised concerns regarding the potential risks to ecosystem and human health. Thus, there is a need to develop facile and efficient methods for monitoring STZ. In this study, a novel fluorescent probe, based on N, B, F co-doped carbon dots (N, B, F-CDs), was developed for the highly sensitive and selective determination of STZ. The fluorescent N, B, F-CDs were prepared via a one-step hydrothermal method using malonate and 1-allyl-3-vinylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid as precursors. The obtained N, B, F-CDs exhibited excellent fluorescence response toward STZ due to the inner filter effect (IFE), which caused the fluorescence to be quenched. The fluorescent probe allowed the STZ concentration to be accurately determined with a low detection limit of 5.5 ng mL-1 in two wide linear ranges of 0.008-10 μg mL-1 and 10-45 μg mL-1. The practicability of the fluorescent probe was further validated in river water, soil, milk, and egg samples, and the satisfactory spiked recoveries of STZ ranged from 96.1 to 101.6%. The proposed fluorescent probe based on N, B, F-CDs can be easily prepared and possess high selectivity and sensitivity, thereby displaying its tremendous potential for the identification and determination of STZ in the environment.

The Effect of Antibiotics on Mesophilic Anaerobic Digestion Process of Cattle Manure. ENERGIES 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/en14041125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
This study explored the effect of eight antimicrobials on the efficiency of biogas production in the anaerobic digestion (AD) process of cattle manure. The microbiome involved in AD, presence and number of genes mcrA, MSC and MST specific for Archaea, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) concentration in digestate (D) were examined. Supplementation of antibiotics to substrate significantly lowered biogas production. Amoxicillin caused a 75% decrease in CH4 production in comparison with the control samples. Enrofloxacin, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, and chlortetracycline reduced the amount of biogas produced by 36, 39, 45 and 53%, respectively. High-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA results revealed that bacteria dominated the Archaea microorganisms in all samples. Moreover, antibiotics led to a decrease in the abundance of the genes mcrA, MSC, MST, and induced an increase in the number of tetracyclines resistance genes. Antibiotics decreased the efficiency of the AD process and lowered the quantity of CH4 obtained, while stimulating an increase in the number of ARGs in D. This work reveals how antimicrobials affect the cattle manure AD process and changes in microbial biodiversity, number of functional genes and ARGs in the digestate due to drugs exposure. It also, provides useful, practical information about the AD process.

Abstract
The residues of antimicrobials used in human and veterinary medicine are popular pollutants of anthropogenic origin. The main sources of introducing antimicrobials into the environment are sewage treatment plants and the agricultural industry. Antimicrobials in animal manure contaminate the surrounding soil as well as groundwater, and can be absorbed by plants. The presence of antimicrobials in food of plant origin may pose a threat to human health due to their high biological activity. As part of the research, a procedure was developed for the extraction and determination of ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, cefuroxime, nalidixic acid and metronidazole in environmental samples (soil and parsley root). An optimized solid-liquid extraction (SLE) method was used to separate antimicrobials from the solid samples and a mixture of citrate buffer (pH = 4): methanol (1:1; v/v) was used as the extraction solvent. Solid phase extraction (SPE) with OASIS® HLB cartridges was used to purify and pre-concentrate the sample. The recovery of the developed method was in the range of 55–108%. Analytes were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with an ultraviolet (UV) detector and a tandem mass spectrometer (HPLC-UV-MS/MS). The procedure was validated and applied to the determination of selected antimicrobials in soil and parsley root samples. Five types of soil and five types of parsley roots of different origins were analyzed. The presence of nalidixic acid in the parsley root samples was found in the concentration range of 0.14–0.72 ng g−1. It has been shown that antimicrobials are absorbed by the plant and can accumulate antimicrobials in its edible parts.

Abstract
This study showed the effect of amoxicillin (AMO), and oxytetracycline (OXY) at a concentration of 512 µg mL−1, and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and metronidazole (MET) at a concentration of 1024 µg mL−1 on the efficiency of anaerobic digestion (AD) of sewage sludge (SS) and cattle slurry (CS). The production of biogas and methane (CH4) content, and the concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) was analyzed in this study. Other determinations included the concentration of the mcrA gene, which catalyzes the methanogenesis, and analysis of MSC and MST gene concentration, characteristic of the families Methanosarcinaceae and Methanosaetaceae (Archaea). Both substrates differed in the composition of microbial communities, and in the sensitivity of these microorganisms to particular antimicrobial substances. Metronidazole inhibited SS fermentation to the greatest extent (sixfold decrease in biogas production and over 50% decrease in the content of CH4). The lowest concentrations of the mcrA gene (106 gD−1) were observed in CS and SS digestates with MET. A decline in the number of copies of the MSC and MST genes was noted in most of the digestate samples with antimicrobials supplementation. Due to selective pressure, antimicrobials led to a considerably lowered efficiency of the AD process and induced changes in the structure of methanogenic biodiversity.

A ratiometric sensing platform was presented by incorporating VS2/AuNPs nanocomposites as a support material with excellent conductivity and high specific surface area, as well as hairpin DNA (hDNA) with complementary hybridization of biotinylated Kana-aptamer. In addition, streptavidin-functionalized CoFe2O4 nanozyme with superior peroxidase-like catalytic activity were immobilized onto the aptasensor, hence the peroxidase-like catalytic reaction could yield amplified electrochemical signals. With the presence of Kana, the aptamer-biorecognition resulted in a quantitative decrease of nanozyme accumulation and an increase of methylene blue response. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical signal ratio of the aptasensor revealed a linear relation along with the logarithmic concentration of Kana from 1 pM to 1 μM, with the limit of detection reaching to 0.5 pM. Moreover, this aptasensor exhibited excellent precision, as well as high repeatability, hence possessing potentials in real samples and for diverse targets detection by easy replacement of the matched aptamer.
