“…ENF was detected at the highest concentration, ranging from 23.9–29.3 ng·g −1 in parsley leaves, and detected at 13.4–25.3 ng·g −1 in parsley roots ( Table 1 ). For example, in a report, three crop species (soybean, corn, and bean) were examined, where root absorption was the main route of ENF uptake by the plant, and its content was in the range of 1.68 ng g −1 –26.17 µg·g −1 [ 43 ]. Parsley samples showed slightly higher ENF content in parsley leaves than parsley roots.…”

“…However, SMX216 was identified as a metabolic product of sulfate-reducing bacteria, hence, it was observed more frequently in oxygen-deficient environments in its free form [ 68 ]. As noted, transformation of pharmaceuticals in the environment can occur due to biotic (microbial activity) and abiotic (photolysis) factors [ 43 ]. The response of the plant organism to FCs’ transformation products and their tissue distribution depends on the plant species [ 43 , 44 ].…”

The response of the plant organism to FCs’ transformation products and their tissue distribution depends on the plant species [ 43 , 44 ]. The metabolism of FCs is generally considered to be the detoxification mechanism of the plant; however, there is concern that some metabolites may have the ability to acquire or potentiate bactericidal activity [ 9 , 44 ].…”

Manure is a major source of soil and plant contamination with veterinary drugs residues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the uptake of 14 veterinary pharmaceuticals by parsley from soil fertilized with manure. Pharmaceutical content was determined in roots and leaves. Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry was used for targeted analysis. Screening analysis was performed to identify transformation products in the parsley tissues. A solid-liquid extraction procedure was developed combined with solid-phase extraction, providing recoveries of 61.9–97.1% for leaves and 51.7–95.6% for roots. Four analytes were detected in parsley: enrofloxacin, tylosin, sulfamethoxazole, and doxycycline. Enrofloxacin was detected at the highest concentrations (13.4–26.3 ng g−1). Doxycycline accumulated mainly in the roots, tylosin in the leaves, and sulfamethoxazole was found in both tissues. 14 transformation products were identified and their distribution were determined. This study provides important data on the uptake and transformation of pharmaceuticals in plant tissues.

“…According to Lapidot and Yaron (2009) [ 75 ], contaminated water can increase the ability of pathogens to colonize agricultural crops, favoring resistant bacteria dissemination in the environment and resistant pathogen transmission to humans and animals [ 76 ]. Water used in irrigation has already been identified as the likely source of several outbreaks of diseases transmitted by fresh and raw foods, such as fruits and vegetables, which are the most common agricultural crops associated with outbreaks [ 77 ].…”

Poultry litter is widely used worldwide as an organic fertilizer in agriculture. However, poultry litter may contain high concentrations of antibiotics and/or antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB), which can be mobilized through soil erosion to water bodies, contributing to the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. To better comprehend this kind of mobilization, the bacterial communities of four ponds used for irrigation in agricultural and poultry production areas were determined in two periods of the year: at the beginning (low volume of rainfall) and at the end of the rainy season (high volume of rainfall). 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed not only significantly different bacterial community structures and compositions among the four ponds but also between the samplings. When the DNA obtained from the water samples was PCR amplified using primers for ARGs, those encoding integrases (intI1) and resistance to sulfonamides (sul1 and sul2) and β-lactams (blaGES, blaTEM and blaSHV) were detected in three ponds. Moreover, bacterial strains were isolated from CHROMagar plates supplemented with sulfamethoxazole, ceftriaxone or ciprofloxacin and identified as belonging to clinically important Enterobacteriaceae. The results presented here indicate a potential risk of spreading ARB through water resources in agricultural areas with extensive fertilization with poultry litter.

“…), owing to their bioaccumulative potential. The harmful effects include inhibition of seed germination and root elongation, changes in MDA contents and antioxidative enzyme activities (e.g., SOD, CAT and peroxidase), an increased chromosomal aberration frequency and yield reduction [96][97][98][99][100][101]. The phytotoxicity of antibiotics varies with the type of antibiotic and with the plant species.…”

Antibiotics: An overview on the environmental occurrence, toxicity, degradation, and removal methods

Antibiotics, as antimicrobial drugs, have been widely applied as human and veterinary medicines. Recently, many antibiotics have been detected in the environments due to their mass production, widespread use, but a lack of adequate treatment processes. The environmental occurrence of antibiotics has received worldwide attention due to their potential harm to the ecosystem and human health. Research status of antibiotics in the environment field is presented by bibliometrics. Herein, we provided a comprehensive overview on the following important issues: (1) occurrence of antibiotics in different environmental compartments, such as wastewater, surface water, and soil; (2) toxicity of antibiotics toward non-target organisms, including aquatic and terrestrial organisms; (3) current treatment technologies for the degradation and removal of antibiotics, including adsorption, hydrolysis, photodegradation and oxidation, and biodegradation. It was found that macrolides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides were most frequently detected in the environment. Compared to surface and groundwaters, wastewater contained a high concentration of antibiotic residues. Both antibiotics and their metabolites exhibited toxicity to non-target organisms, especially aquatic organisms (e.g., algae and fish). Fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides can be removed through abiotic process, such as adsorption, photodegradation, and oxidation. Fluoroquinolones and sulfonamides can directly undergo biodegradation. Further studies on the chronic effects of antibiotics at environmentally relevant concentrations on the ecosystem were urgently needed to fully understand the hazards of antibiotics and help the government to establish the permissible limits. Biodegradation is a promising technology; it has numerous advantages such as cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness.
