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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into the Fate and Removal of Antibiotics in Engineered Biological Treatment Systems: A Critical Review

TL;DR: This review systematically summarizes the behavior and removal of different antibiotics in various biological treatment systems with discussion on their removal efficiency, removal mechanisms, critical bioreactor operating conditions affecting antibiotics removal, and recent innovative advancements.

Spatial and seasonal distribution of selected antibiotics in surface waters of the Pearl Rivers, China

TL;DR: Risk assessment based on the calculated risk quotients showed that only erythromycin-H2O and roxithromycin detected in the Pearl Rivers might have adverse effects on aquatic organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of the antimicrobial sulfamethoxazole on groundwater bacterial enrichment.

TL;DR: Results of these growth and nitrate reduction experiments collectively suggest that subtherapeutic concentrations of SMX altered the composition of the enriched nitrate-reducing microcosms and inhibited nitrates reduction capabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibacterial activity of soil-bound antibiotics.

TL;DR: It is concluded that even though antibiotics are tightly adsorbed by clay particles, they are still biologically active and may influence the selection of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the terrestrial environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of antibiotic resistance and tetracycline resistance genes in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from the Pearl rivers in South China.

TL;DR: Antibiotic resistance profiles and tetracycline resistance genes in Enterobacteriaceae family isolates from the Pearl rivers delta are investigated to suggest a wider distribution of human specific drugs in the environment.
