“…EVs loaded with specific enzymes or bacteria known to degrade certain antibiotic types could be delivered to plant roots, enabling targeted decontamination. Plant EVs could interact with beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere, promoting their antibiotic-degrading activity [ 126 , 127 ]. A summary of the potential use of BEVs in combating ABR is included in Table 3 .…”

This paper sheds light on the alarming issue of antibiotic resistance (ABR) in aquatic environments, exploring its detrimental effects on ecosystems and public health. It examines the multifaceted role of antibiotic use in aquaculture, agricultural runoff, and industrial waste in fostering the development and dissemination of resistant bacteria. The intricate interplay between various environmental factors, horizontal gene transfer, and bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) in accelerating the spread of ABR is comprehensively discussed. Various BEVs carrying resistance genes like blaCTX-M, tetA, floR, and sul/I, as well as their contribution to the dominance of multidrug-resistant bacteria, are highlighted. The potential of BEVs as both a threat and a tool in combating ABR is explored, with promising strategies like targeted antimicrobial delivery systems and probiotic-derived EVs holding significant promise. This paper underscores the urgency of understanding the intricate interplay between BEVs and ABR in aquatic environments. By unraveling these unseen weapons, we pave the way for developing effective strategies to mitigate the spread of ABR, advocating for a multidisciplinary approach that includes stringent regulations, enhanced wastewater treatment, and the adoption of sustainable practices in aquaculture.

“…[ 1 ] Simultaneously, the treatment of human diseases cannot be separated from the use of drugs, especially antibiotics, which have made significant contributions to the treatment of human diseases. [ 2 ] In the aquaculture industry, antibiotics are used extensively in order to prevent mass deaths of aquatic products and increase production. [ 3 ] Only part of these antibiotics can be absorbed by the human body or aquatic products, and most of them will be discharged into the water body with feces, which will greatly pollute the water environment if not treated.…”

The O‐deficient modified CuAl2O4/MoS2 composite photocatalysts (ODMCAOMSCP) are fabricated by a wet chemical route and low‐temperature treatment for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). The fine particles dotted on the large sheet are revealed to be comprised of large sheets with rich oxygen defects and nanoparticles, which endows it with a high optical absorption coefficient, available reactive species, excellent charge carrier separation, and high photocatalytic activity. The finely designed ODMCAOMSCP achieve a TC degradation first‐order rate constant of 0.01436 min−1, which is 3.99 and 2.70 times higher than that of MoS2 and CuAl2O4, respectively. Response surface analysis reveals that multiple environmental factors including initial TC concentration, catalyst content, and initial pH affect the photocatalytic activity of the catalyst on the basis of backpropagation (BP) neural network optimized by genetic algorithm and Box‐Behnken design. The degradation intermediates and degradation pathways are determined by a liquid chromatograph‐mass spectrometer (LC‐MS). The toxicity of TC over ‐ ODMCAOMSCP is studied by the toxicity analysis software and the cultivation of mung bean. Mechanism investigation demonstrates that the major active species of ODMCAOMSCP for the degradation TC are attributed to oxygen vacancy, hydroxyl radical (∙OH), and superoxide radical (∙O2−).

“…Despite the rise in foodborne diseases, many food chain personelle worldwide fail to fully comprehend the significance of food safety. Several emerging contaminants including [27] , [72] , [70] , [74] , [2] , [69] , [84] , [81] , [16] microplastics; tetrabromobisphenol A (and its [73] , [54] , [71] , [76] , [79] , [30] , [77] , [78] , [53] , [67] derivatives); agrochemicals/chemical ripening [63] , [66] , [80] , [28] , [3] , [65] , [19] , [75] agents, heavy metals, [8] phthalates; antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and personal care [83] , [82] , [68] , [64] , [59] , [60] products, have been found to contaminate the food chains causing varieties of human and ecotoxicological harms. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals that have been widely used in various consumer and industrial products such as non-stick surface repellents, textiles, cosmetics, papers, and firefighting foams since the 1950 s due to their unique ability to repel grease, dirt, and water [38] .…”
