Comprehensive evaluation of antibiotics emission and fate in the river basins of China: source analysis, multimedia modeling, and linkage to bacterial resistance.

TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive study which demonstrates an alarming usage and emission of various antibiotics in China and the bacterial resistance rates in the hospitals and aquatic environments were found to be related to the PECs and antibiotic usages, especially for those antibiotics used in the most recent period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants in municipal wastewater treatment plants from different geographical regions-a review.

TL;DR: Many antibiotics were detected in the influents and effluents of WWTPs at concentrations close to or exceeding the predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) for resistance selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of antibiotic resistance in China and its environment

TL;DR: It is important to understand the current state of antibiotic use in China and its relationship to ARG prevalence and diversity in the environment, and also future needs in mitigating the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environments, particularly under the 'planetary health' perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic pollution in the environment: a review.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected information from several investigations on the sources and occurrences of antibiotics in natural and artificial environmental systems, including water resources, effluent from industries, sludge, manure, soil, plants, and organisms across the globe.

Binding of ciprofloxacin by humic substances: A molecular dynamics study

TL;DR: Molecular dynamics relaxation studies of a widely used fluoroquinolone antibiotic, ciprofloxacin (Cipro), interacting with a model humic substance (HS) in a hydrated environment suggested that the ionic potential of the divalent cation may be a determining factor in the formation of the ternary complex, with high Ionic potential favoring the bridging interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution pattern, behavior, and fate of antibacterials in urban aquatic environments in South China.

TL;DR: The result of principal components analysis suggests input of non-sewage derived sulfamethazine in the Pearl River suggests Dilution effect by precipitation, however, also plays an important role in seasonal distribution of the antibacterials in thePear River.

Influence of difloxacin-contaminated manure on microbial community structure and function in soils

TL;DR: Surprisingly, microbial biomass values as well as respiration rates were increased by DIF application, while other parameters like nitrate and ammonium content in soil were not influenced by Dif application at any time point.
