TL;DR: This paper focuses mainly on APIs for human consumption and highlights key differences between the low-, middle- and high-income countries, covering factors such as population and demographics, manufacture, prescriptions, treatment, disposal and reuse of waste and wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of microbial community and antibiotic resistance genes in activated sludge under tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole selection pressure.
TL;DR: High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing results suggested that Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes were the three most abundant phyla in sludge samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineralization of the antibiotic chloramphenicol by solar photoelectro-Fenton: From stirred tank reactor to solar pre-pilot plant
TL;DR: In this article, a general reaction pathway for chloramphenicol mineralization was proposed, and the influence of current density and substrate concentration on SPEF with BDD was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of the microbial community and environmental variables to antibiotic resistance genes during co-composting with swine manure and cotton stalks.
TL;DR: The variations in ARGs during the composting process were mainly affected by the dynamics of potential host bacteria rather than integrons and the selective pressure due to bio-Cu and bio-Zn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotics exposure and health risks: chloramphenicol
TL;DR: In this paper, a threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) for antibiotic chloramphenicol (CAP) is proposed to accommodate developing toxicological insights, which can be used to guide the zero tolerance policy.

Antibiotics in the aquatic environment - A review - Part II
TL;DR: This review brings up important questions that are still open, and addresses some significant issues which must be tackled in the future for a better understanding of the behavior of antibiotics in the environment, as well as the risks associated with their occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global perspective on the use, sales, exposure pathways, occurrence, fate and effects of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in the environment
TL;DR: This paper has attempted to summarize the latest information available in the literature on the use, sales, exposure pathways, environmental occurrence, fate and effects of veterinary antibiotics in animal agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment.
TL;DR: From the large number of ground water samples that were taken from agricultural areas in Germany, no contamination by antibiotics was detected except for two sites, which indicates that intake from veterinary applications to the aquatic environment is of minor importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Veterinary antibiotics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment
TL;DR: A review of the available data on the present use of veterinary antibiotics in agriculture, on the occurrence of antibiotic compounds and resistant bacteria in soil and water and demonstrates the need for further studies as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of antibiotics in conventional and advanced wastewater treatment: implications for environmental discharge and wastewater recycling.
TL;DR: Certain traditional parameters, including nitrate concentration, conductivity and turbidity of the effluent were assessed as predictors of total antibiotic concentration, however only conductivity demonstrated any correlation with total antibiotics concentration.
