Microalgae-based technology for antibiotics removal: From mechanisms to application of innovational hybrid systems

Qian Xiong et al.

Summary: This review discusses the mechanisms of antibiotics removal by microalgae, including bioadsorption, bioaccumulation, and biodegradation, as well as factors affecting removal efficiency and novel approaches to enhance it. Hybrid systems and genetic engineering are recommended for improved removal, highlighting the need for further optimization and expansion of application in largescale settings.

Removal of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) from wastewater using microalgae: A review

Sufia Hena et al.

Summary: Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are emerging micro-pollutants that have harmful effects on living organisms even at low doses. Previous studies have shown their presence in the environment at hazardous levels due to inefficient conventional wastewater treatment plants. Microalgae-mediated treatment offers benefits such as CO2 mitigation during culture and the use of biomass for biodiesel or biofuel production.

Levofloxacin in veterinary medicine: a literature review

Andrejs Sitovs et al.

Summary: Levofloxacin, a potent third-generation antimicrobial drug, has been studied in animal species since its introduction into clinical practice in 1993. However, its veterinary use is restricted, being completely banned in the EU and limited to extralabel use in companion animals in the USA. Numerous studies have been published on levofloxacin's pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and susceptibility in animals.
