global dataset containing more than 90,000 records covering 169 antibiotics and their metabolites in surface water and sediment across 76 countries.The occurrence of prioritized antibiotics largely depended on socioeconomic developmental levels,and the current"hotspots"of polluted rivers were found mostly ...
Therefore, it is of concern that human consumption alone represents a significant risk for rivers across all continents, with the largest extents found in Southeast Asia. Global antibiotic consumption has grown rapidly over the last 15 years and continues to increase, particularly in low- and ...
Dangerous levels of antibiotics have been alarmed in many rivers [30–32], e.g., the environmental concentration of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was found to have exceeded its predicted no-effect concentration to aquatic organisms at 140 of 1052 study sites (13%) in global rivers, and the ...
Six major rivers in Central Taiwan were investigated for the occurrence of the eight most frequently prescribed quinolone and imidazole antibiotics using solid-phase extraction followed by high performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry. Nalidixic acid, flumequine, ...
Occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria in subtropical urban rivers in Brazil. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 402. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123448 Burch, K. D., Han, B., Pichtel, J., & Zubkov, T. (2019). Removal efficiency of commonly prescribed ...
Besides, antibiotics are excreted by humans and animals into wastewater, which can then be carried into rivers and oceans (Shahid et al. 2021). Toxic effects of antibiotic residues in food stuffs Although antibiotic residues in food cause allergic reactions, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, and ...
Receiving rivers of WWTPs, pharmaceutical factories, and hospitals in densely populated urban areas are the most polluted water bodies; animal breeding and farmlands are the main sources of MCLs entering water environment in the Environmental implication Global data on the macrolides (MCLs) concentration...
Currently, less attention has been paid to bay ecosystems in Africa, South America, and Oceania, although high concentrations of antibiotics have been detected in the rivers of these continents (Singh et al., 2019). For example, the highest concentration of sulfamethoxazole (13,765 ng/L) was ...
Biofilm is formed in diverse environmental niches, includ- ing freshwater rivers, rocks, deep-sea vents and hydrother- mal hot springs. Biofilm-related infections can be broadly divided into two types. The biofilms may be formed on the abiotic surfaces, especially infections associated with ...
