“…The effects of non-antibiotic ECs in DW at environmental levels (ng/L or µg/L) requires significant efforts to respond to environmental and public health concerns. We are aware of only four recent studies on this topic 40,[75][76][77] . Wang et al 40 evaluated the response of DW biofilms to sulfadiazine and ciprofloxacin.…”

The presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) in the environment has been consistently recognized as a worldwide concern. ECs may be defined as chemicals or materials found in the environment at trace concentrations with potential, perceived, or real risk to the “One Health” trilogy (environment, human, and animal health). The main concern regarding pharmaceuticals and in particular antibiotics is the widespread dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. Nevertheless, non-antimicrobials also interact with microorganisms in both bulk phase and in biofilms. In fact, drugs not developed for antimicrobial chemotherapy can exert an antimicrobial action and, therefore, a selective pressure on microorganisms. This review aims to provide answers to questions typically ignored in epidemiological and environmental monitoring studies with a focus on water systems, particularly drinking water (DW): Do ECs exposure changes the behavior of environmental microorganisms? May non-antibiotic ECs affect tolerance to antimicrobials? Do ECs interfere with biofilm function? Are ECs-induced changes in microbial behavior of public health concern? Nowadays, the answers to these questions are still very limited. However, this study demonstrates that some ECs have significant effects in microbial behavior. The most studied ECs are pharmaceuticals, particularly antibiotics, carbamazepine and diclofenac. The pressure caused by antibiotic and other antimicrobial agents on the acquisition and spread of antibiotic resistance seems to be unquestionable. However, regarding the effects of ECs on the development and behavior of biofilms, the conclusions of different studies are still controversial. The dissimilar findings propose that standardized tests are needed for an accurate assessment on the effects of ECs in the microbiome of water systems. The variability of experimental conditions, combined with the presence of mixtures of ECs as well as the lack of information about the effects of non-pharmaceutical ECs constitute the main challenge to be overcome in order to improve ECs prioritization.

“…Sterile R2A broth was used as negative control. Biofilm production was assessed in terms of culturability (enumeration of colony forming units -CFU) and by crystal violet (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) staining as described by Borges et al (2017) and Gomes et al (2018b).…”

“…After exposure, chlorine was removed from each well and the remaining biocide was neutralized with sodium thiosulfate at 0.50% (wt/v) for 10 min (Gomes et al, 2018a). Chlorine effects on biofilms were assessed by CFU enumeration and crystal violet staining as previously described by Borges et al (2017) and Gomes et al (2018b).…”

“…On the other hand the exposure to the combination of CA (1700 ng/L) with carbamazepine (CBZ at 2580 ng/L) and IBP (30 ng/L) reduced biofilm productivity (Gomes et al, 2018a). The biofilms formed after exposure to the combination of CA (170 ng/L) and CBZ (258 ng/ L) or CA (1700 ng/L), CBZ (2580 ng/L) and IBP (30 ng/L) were also more tolerant to disinfection with chlorine (Gomes et al, 2018b). Based on these results (Gomes et al, 2018a) and on CA environmental persistence (Schmidt et al, 2017), this EC was selected for the present study.…”
