“…With the development of livestock and poultry breeding and the increase of clinical treatment, antibiotics have become a potential source of environmental pollution. 32 Doxycycline hydrochloride (DOX) 33 and methyloxytetracycline hydrochloride (MET) 34 are broad-spectrum antibiotics with an antibacterial effect more than ten times stronger than tetracycline. As the most widely used tetracycline at present, DOX is often used to treat rickettsia infection, mycoplasma infection, chlamydia infection, and so on.…”

“…(51%) (Founou et al, 2016; Hossain et al, 2018). These can lead to therapeutic failure in human medicine (such as bacterial infections that are resistant to antibiotics), which can lengthen recovery times, cause more complications, and even result in death (Burkholder et al, 2023; Monahan et al, 2022). Antibiotic‐resistant microorganisms are responsible for the deaths of more than 35,000 Americans and 33,000 Europeans annually (Olivares et al, 2020).…”

“…6 Additionally, the digested drugs are mainly excreted from the body via urine and feces, either in unmodified or metabolite forms. 2,7 These metabolites retain the potency of their parent compounds and adversely affect the ecosystem. This leads to several hazardous impacts such as mutations and the development of antibiotic resistance genes.…”
