Antibiotics degradation by advanced oxidation process (AOPs): Recent advances in ecotoxicity and antibiotic-resistance genes induction of degradation products

Shuo Li et al.

Summary: Antibiotic contamination poses serious risks of ecotoxicity and resistance gene induction. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have demonstrated effectiveness in the degradation of antibiotics. However, the production of degradation intermediates in the oxidation process raises concerns about potential ecological risks. In-depth investigations on the ecotoxicity and resistance genes induction of antibiotic degradation products are important for addressing the environmental problems of antibiotics.

Summary: As an effective fungicide, excessive procymidone (PRO) residue has been found in the environment and food. Maternal exposure to PRO during pregnancy and lactation can affect the offspring's metabolism and lead to metabolic disorders. The difference in cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme expression between male and female mice contributes to the higher drug residue in F1 generation male mice.

Road Less Traveled: Drug Hypersensitivity to Fluoroquinolones, Vancomycin, Tetracyclines, and Macrolides

Linda J. Zhu et al.

Summary: Fluoroquinolones, vancomycin, macrolides, and tetracyclines are generally safe antibiotics but can cause hypersensitivity reactions. Diagnosing these allergies is challenging due to the lack of validated skin testing and in vitro testing. Direct provocation challenge remains the gold standard for diagnosis, but the benefit of confirming an allergy may not outweigh the risk of a severe reaction. Skin testing, direct provocation challenge, and/or desensitization may be reasonable approaches depending on the clinical context and patient preferences.

Monitoring and evaluation of antibiotic resistance genes in three rivers in northeast China

Chen Zhao et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the composition and abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in different rivers and riverbank soils in northeast China using metagenomic sequencing. The results showed that multidrug resistance genes were the predominant ARGs in the samples, and the composition of ARGs was similar among the three rivers. ARGs in riverbank soils were also detected in the river water, indicating potential gene transfer. Opportunistic pathogenic bacteria carrying resistance genes were mainly associated with diarrhea and respiratory infections. The findings provide valuable insights into the distribution of ARGs in river water in northeast China.

Interactions between antibiotics and heavy metals determine their combined toxicity to Synechocystis sp.

Xiuqi You et al.

Summary: The joint toxicity of antibiotics and metals towards aquatic organisms is dependent on their interactions, with complexation leading to antagonistic effects and lack of interactions resulting in additive effects. CTC facilitated the intracellular uptake of metals by increasing membrane permeability, while FLO had no significant effects on metal internalization. Proteomic analysis revealed down-regulation of photosynthetic proteins by CTC and FLO and showed that Cu(II) and Cd(II) induced different responses in protein regulation. Co-exposure of antibiotics and metals alleviated or exacerbated dysregulation of biological functions in Synechocystis sp., suggesting their combined toxicity effects.

Insights into the fate of antibiotics in constructed wetland systems: Removal performance and mechanisms

Mengyu Lv et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the removal of widely used antibiotics in constructed wetlands (CWs) and discusses the roles of substrate, macrophytes, and microorganisms in removing antibiotics. Vertical subsurface flow CWs have shown better performance in antibiotic removal. The adsorption behavior of antibiotics in wetland substrates is influenced by their physicochemical properties, substrate configuration, and operating parameters. Wetland plants can directly and indirectly affect antibiotic removal through uptake, degradation, and rhizosphere processes. Microorganisms can interact with antibiotics through biosorption, bioaccumulation, and biodegradation. Strategies for further enhancing antibiotic removal in CWs include optimizing operation parameters, innovating substrate, strengthening microbial activity, and integrating with other treatment technologies.

Summary: The study found that historical selection can impact the evolution of resistance to new antibiotics, with strong selection in new drugs reducing the effects of history but sometimes revealing important contingencies. The history of selection in structured environments constrains resistance to new drugs, leading to frequent loss of resistance to the initial drug through genetic reversions.
