Abstract
Cefotaxime (CTX) is an easily detectable antibiotic pollutant in the water environment, but little is known about its toxic effects on aquatic invertebrates, especially on the intestine. Here, we determined the oxidative stress conditions of A. sinica under CTX exposure with five concentrations (0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg/L) for 14 days. After that, we focused on changes in intestinal tissue morphology and gut microbiota in A. sinica caused by CTX exposure at 0.01 mg/L. We found malondialdehyde (MDA) was elevated in CTX treatment groups, suggesting the obvious antibiotic-induced oxidative stress. We also found CTX exposure at 0.01 mg/L decreased the villus height and muscularis thickness in gut tissue. The 16S rRNA gene analysis indicated that CTX exposure reshaped the gut microbiota diversity and community composition. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota and Bacteroidota were the most widely represented phyla in A. sinica gut. The exposure to CTX led to the absence of Verrucomicrobia in dominant phyla and an increase in Bacteroidota abundance. At the genus level, eleven genera with an abundance greater than 0.1% exhibited statistically significant differences among groups. Furthermore, changes in gut microbiota composition were accompanied by modifications in gut microbiota functions, with an up-regulation in amino acid and drug metabolism functions and a down-regulation in xenobiotic biodegradation and lipid metabolism-related functions under CTX exposure. Overall, our study enhances our understanding of the intestinal damage and microbiota disorder caused by the cefotaxime pollutant in aquatic invertebrates, which would provide guidance for healthy aquaculture.

In silico prediction and a systematic toxicology-based in vivo investigation uncovering the mechanism of aquatic toxicity caused by beta-lactam antibiotics. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 349:140884.

Abstract
Recently, beta-lactam antibiotics have gained attention as significant contributors to public health and environmental issues due to their potential toxicity. Our study employed machine learning to develop a model for assessing the aquatic toxicity of beta-lactam antibiotics on zebrafish. Notably, aztreonam (AZT), a synthetic monobactam and a subclass of beta-lactam antibiotics, demonstrated developmental effects in zebrafish embryos comparable to cephalosporins, indicating a potential for toxicity. Using a systems toxicology-based approach, we identified apoptosis and metabolic disorders as the primary pathways affected by AZT and its impurity F exposure. During the administration of monobactams, we noted that ctsbb, nos2a, and dgat2, genes associated with apoptosis and the metabolic pathway, exhibited significant differential expression. Molecular docking studies were conducted to ascertain the binding affinity between monobactam compounds and their potential targets-Ctsbb, Nos2a, and Dgat2. Furthermore, our research revealed that monobactams influence pre-mRNA alternative splicing, resulting in disruptions in the expression of genes involved in hair cells, brain, spinal cord, and fin regeneration (e.g., krt4, krt5, krt17, cyt1). Notably, we observed a correlation between the levels of rpl3 and rps7 genes, both important ribosomal proteins, and the detected alternative splicing events. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of the toxicity of beta-lactam antibiotics in zebrafish by demonstrating the developmental effects of monobactams and uncovering the underlying mechanisms at the molecular level. It also identifies potential targets for further investigation into the mechanisms of toxicity and provides valuable insights for early assessment of biological toxicity associated with antibiotic pollutants.

Abstract
The accumulation of antibiotics in the environment has ecological impacts that have received less attention than the human health risks of antibiotics, although the effects could be far-reaching. This review discusses the effects of antibiotics on the health of fish and zooplankton, manifesting in direct or dysbiosis-mediated physiological impairment. Acute effects of antibiotics in these organism groups are usually induced at high concentrations (LC50 at ∼100-1000 mg/L) that are not commonly present in aquatic environments. However, when exposed to sub-lethal, environmentally relevant levels of antibiotics (ng/L-μg/L) disruption of physiological homeostasis, development, and fecundity can occur. Antibiotics at similar or lower concentrations can induce dysbiosis of gut microbiota which can affect the health of fish and invertebrates. We show that the data about molecular-level effects of antibiotics at low exposure concentrations are limited, hindering environmental risk assessment and species sensitivity analysis. Fish and crustaceans (Daphnia sp.) were the two groups of aquatic organisms used most often for antibiotic toxicity testing, including microbiota analysis. While low levels of antibiotics impact the composition and function of gut microbiota in aquatic organisms, the correlation and causality of these changes to host physiology are not straightforward. In some cases, negative or lack of correlation have occurred, and, unexpectedly, gut microbial diversity has been unaffected or increased upon exposure to environmental levels of antibiotics. Efforts to incorporate functional analyses of gut microbiota are beginning to provide valuable mechanistic information, but more data is needed for ecological risk assessment of antibiotics.

Abstract
Antibiotics have emerged as a well-known representative of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) by causing public health and environmental problems due to their potential toxicity. β-lactams are the most commonly used antibiotics in the world. This study used zebrafish embryos to evaluate the toxicity of β-lactams. The results showed that 23 β-lactam compounds induced malformation and death in a concentration-response manner. Moreover, this study established and validated quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR) models for the toxicity of β-lactams in zebrafish. These models performed well and fast in the prediction of the acute toxicity of β-lactams. Structural interpretation indicated that the β-lactam ring, the thiazolidine/dihydrothiazine rings, the side chains, and spatial configuration are the main factors responsible for the toxicity of β-lactams. The results from our previous studies and this study also revealed that the potential biological risks caused by β-lactams and their degradation products could not be ignored. This study provided important data for further environmental risk assessment of β-lactams and regulatory purposes.

Abstract
The overuse of antibiotics combined with the limitation of wastewater facilities has resulted in drug residue accumulation in the natural environment. Thus, in recent years, the presence of antibiotic residues in the environment has raised concerns over the potential harmful effects on ecosystems and human health. The in vivo studies represent an essential step to study the potential impact induced by pharmaceutical exposure. Due to the limitations of traditional vertebrate model systems, zebrafish (Danio rerio) has recently emerged as a promising animal model to study the toxic effects of drugs and their therapeutic efficacy. The present review summarizes the recent advances made on the toxicity of seven representative classes of antibiotics, namely aminoglycosides, β-lactams, macrolides, quinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines and polyether antibiotics, in zebrafish, as well as the combined effects of antibiotic mixtures, to date. Despite a significant amount of the literature describing the impact of single antibiotic exposure, little information exists on the effects of antibiotic mixtures using zebrafish as an animal model. Most of the research papers on this topic have focused on antibiotic toxicity in zebrafish across different developmental stages rather than on their efficacy assessment.

Abstract
Quinolones are ranked as the second most commonly used class of antibiotics in China, despite their adverse clinical and environmental effects. However, information on their cardiac developmental toxicity to zebrafish is limited. This study investigates the relationships between different quinolone structures and toxicity in zebrafish embryos using in vivo and in silico methods. All of the experimentally tested quinolones show cardiac developmental toxicity potential and present mortality and teratogenic effects in a dose-dependent manner. Theoretically, the acute toxicity values predicted using quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR) modeling based on previously reported LC50 values are in good agreement with the in vivo results. Further investigation demonstrates that the hormetic concentration response of some quinolones may be related to methylation on the piperazine ring at the C-7 position. The amino group at the C-5 position, the methylated or ethylated piperazine group at the C-7 position, halogens at the C-8 position and a cyclopropyl ring at N1 position may be responsible for cardiac developmental toxicity. In terms of survival (key ecological endpoint), the naridine ring is more toxic than the quinoline ring. This combined approach can predict the acute and cardiac developmental toxicity of other quinolones and impurities.

Abstract
In China, antibiotics are commonly used for human and veterinary medicine, and they are present in various environmental media. Thus, the toxic effects of antibiotics on organisms have attracted the attention of society and scientists alike. In this study, zebrafish embryos were used to test the single and joint toxicity of four antibiotics, sulfamonomethoxine (SMM), cefotaxime sodium (CFT), tetracycline (TC), enrofloxacin (ENR), and their combinations, combining the results of experimental and omics techniques. Following exposure to antibiotics for 120 h, the body lengths of zebrafish larvae in all 100 μg/L antibiotic groups were significantly shortened, and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in the 100 μg/L Mix group was significantly increased. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) showed that the mRNA level of numerous genes was significantly changed in the five antibiotic treatment groups. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed genes revealed a significant enrichment of the steroid biosynthesis and other metabolism pathways. Hub gene analysis highlighted dhcr24, acat1, aldh1a2, aldh8a1, suclg2, hadh, and hsdl2 as the key genes, and hub gene expression changes because of the antibiotic treatment suggested that the metabolic system of the zebrafish larvae was severely disrupted by the interaction with other genes. In conclusion, single or joint exposure to different antibiotics at environmental concentrations affected the early development and metabolic system of zebrafish larvae, and our results provide fundamental evidence for future studies of antibiotic toxicity in aquatic organisms.

Abstract
To improve the quality control of drugs, we predicted the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) of ceftazidime (CAZ) and its impurities via in silico methods. We used three types of quantitative structure-activity relationship and docking software for precise prediction: Discovery Studio 4.0, OECD QSAR Toolbox 4.1, Toxtree, and the pkCSM approach. The pharmacokinetics and toxicity of ceftazidime and impurity A (Δ-2-CAZ) are similar. The biological properties of impurity B (CAZ E-isomer) are different from CAZ. Therefore, we focused on drug stability to analyze impurity B. Impurities D and I have strong lipophilicity, good intestinal absorption, and poor excretion in the body. Impurity D is particularly neurotoxic and genotoxic. It is important to control the content of impurity D. The toxicity of impurity F is low, but the toxicity is enhanced when it becomes the C-3 side chain of CAZ and forms a quaternary amine group. We conclude that the beta-lactam ring of nucleus, the quaternary amine group at the C-3 side chain, and the acetates at the C-7 side chain of CAZ are the main toxic functional groups. Impurities B and D may be the genetic impurity in CAZ and may also have neurotoxicity. This in silico approach can predict the toxicity of other cephalosporins and impurities.
