“…Antibiotics in irrigation water can be taken up into crop tissues (mostly roots), but levels of uptake are typically low unless antibiotic concentrations are very high. 51,52 However, whether uptake occurs depends on the specific crop-antibiotic combination. No general rules have yet been established for which antibiotic-crop combinations lead to greater uptake, but, overall, uptake tends to be limited, quite selective, and plant and antibiotic specific.…”

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant threat to both human and animal health. The spread of AMR bacteria and genes across systems can occur through a myriad of pathways, both related and unrelated to agriculture, including via wastewater, soils, manure applications, direct exchange between humans and animals, and food exposure. Tracing origins and drivers of AMR bacteria and genes is challenging due to the array of contexts and the complexity of interactions overlapping health practice, microbiology, genetics, applied science and engineering, as well as social and human factors. Critically assessing the diverse and sometimes contradictory AMR literature is a valuable step in identifying tractable mitigation options to stem AMR spread. In this article we review research on the nonfoodborne spread of AMR, with a focus on domesticated animals and the environment and possible exposures to humans. Attention is especially placed on delineating possible sources and causes of AMR bacterial phenotypes, including underpinning the genetics important to human and animal health.

“…Furthermore, degradation or conversion products of tetracyclines can also be generated in plant and animal metabolism . However, detailed knowledge of biotransformation of various antibiotics including TCs in planta has recently been identified as a field where more research is needed . As one of the few examples, dechlorination of CTC via CTC‐glutathione conjugates has been postulated to occur in maize plants based on in vitro experiments.…”

Because of the lack of standards, a tentative identification of the CTC-glutathione conjugates with LC-MS detection was achieved.…”

Chlortetracycline and related tetracyclines: detection in wheat and rye grain

Concentrations of tetracyclines found in wheat and rye grains were of no concern with respect to toxicity regarding human consumption. However, antibiotic concentrations below the minimum inhibitory concentration can select for antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Thus, low levels of different tetracycline residues contained in food should be taken into account regarding risk assessment. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…But that is done more out of compulsion than choice-due to the shortage of raw water prevailing now in most regions. But wastewater irrigation, unless done with greywater that has been treated to meet the standards for use in irrigation, can seriously contaminate the environment and pose health risks [8][9][10][11]. In a few studies, suits of several species of plants along with sand or soil as filter media have been used to reduce the pollutant load of greywater and enhance its utility for irrigation [12][13][14][15], but no study exists on the use of any specific terrestrial plant for greywater treatment [16,17].…”

In arguably the first‐ever study of its kind, a common terrestrial weed, Achyranthes aspera, has been used to treat greywater (domestic sewage) of wide‐ranging strength. The weed was used in the novel SHEFROL® (SHEet Flow ROot Level) bioreactor earlier developed by the authors, of which a patent claim has been registered. Without the use of soil or any other anchor, and at very brisk rate reflected in low hydraulic retention times of just 4–6 h, A. aspera was able to achieve substantial secondary treatment and significant primary and tertiary treatments of the greywater in a clean and inexpensive fashion. Biological and chemical oxygen demands were removed to the extents of about 81 and 84%, respectively, suspended solids to the extent of 96%, and nitrogen, phosphorous, and heavy metals, to the extent of 28–41%. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38: 467–476, 2019
