Challenges in the Measurement of Antibiotics and in Evaluating Their Impacts in Agroecosystems: A Critical Review

Abstract: Large quantities of antibiotics are used in agricultural production, resulting in their release to agroecosystems through numerous pathways, including land application of contaminated manure, runoff from manure-fertilized fields, and wastewater irrigation of croplands. Antibiotics and their transformation products (TPs) exhibit a wide range of physico-chemical and biological properties and thus present substantive analytical challenges. Advances in the measurement of these compounds in various environmental co… Show more

“…Toxicological and AMR selection risks cannot be easily predicted from solely knowing the concentration of antibiotics, metals and biocides owing to significant uncertainties in bioavailability (Jechalke et al, 2014; Aga et al, 2016). Fluoroquinolones have been shown to be relatively biounavailable in some sludge amended soils, which was not correlated with any significant change to the ecosystem services: nitrification and denitrification; however, community structure and other ecosystem services might have been impacted, but were not examined (Rosendahl et al, 2012).…”

“…Environmental contamination by antibiotic residues in food production systems is a growing problem worldwide, and the potential implications to proliferation of antibiotic resistance have been the subject of multiple reviews and opinion articles [58][59][60]. The occurrence of persistent antibiotic residues in various water sources [61,62] is well documented which not only includes municipal [63,64], agricultural [65,66] and hospital sewage [67,68] but also groundwater [69] and surface water [70][71][72]. The concentration range of antibiotics is generally measured at ng L −1 to a few ”g L −1 in many water sources [73], though concentrated wastewater can have much higher levels [65].…”

The concentration range of antibiotics is generally measured at ng L −1 to a few ”g L −1 in many water sources [73], though concentrated wastewater can have much higher levels [65]. Recent studies have demonstrated that plants can take up antibiotics (like amoxicillin, ketoconazole, lincomycin, oxytetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, sulfonamides, and tetracyclines) [74][75][76] and antibiotic contaminated irrigation water can play a significant role in the uptake [77].…”

“…Not only is the wide variety of antibiotic compounds of concern, but some of their transformation products and metabolites may also affect biological activity and therefore need to be considered when conducting environmental studies. Aga et al (2016) examine the state of the science for detection, quantification, and risk assessment of antibiotics and their transformation products in the agroecosystem.…”
