“…In relation to that, the application of animal manure disturbs the proportion of endophytic bacterial populations in crops (Zhang et al 2013). Similar results were reported in another study that cattle and poultry manure could enhance the abundance of antibiotic-resistant genes in root endophytes (Zhang et al 2019).…”

Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) are widely used in Pakistan for growth enhancement, production, and in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in the livestock and poultry industry. Their emergence into the agro-environment began during the resource utilization of farmyard and poultry manure. However, these bioactive organic pollutants are non-degradable in the natural environment and can be uptaken by plants, eventually ending up in the human food chain. Despite the danger these antibiotics pose, unfortunately, it is an issue that still remains underreported, especially in Pakistan. As such, this review critically summarizes the current consumption, exposure pathways, strategies for controlling dissemination, and serious environmental concerns associated with VAs. Additionally, the fate of antibiotics in the dry arid climate of Pakistan is thoroughly explained along with the lack of monitoring and strict legislation in developing countries. It is reported that antibiotic consumption negatively impacts raw manure, hence suggestions such as limiting the consumption of antibiotics from the source, proper disposal of farmyard manure with effective technologies, and remediation techniques are introduced. Finally, the authors highlight the importance of farmer's education and awareness campaigns in the pollution control of antibiotics, as the problem can only be properly addressed with the cooperation of government agencies, companies, and involved stakeholders. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

“…Animal-derived pathogens can also easily assimilate ARGs that can then be transferred to humans by contact or consumption of raw fruits and vegetables containing these pathogens; this poses a threat to public health [8]. Even the most advanced wastewater treatment procedures cannot remove all ARB before discharge [9][10][11][12]. The associated risks and mechanisms of ARG transmission, transmission pathways, and technical methods have been studied with fruitful results being achieved, but there are still many unknown factors.…”

The extensive use of antimicrobials in animal farms poses serious safety hazards to both the environment and public health, and this trend is likely to continue. Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) are a class of emerging pollutants that are difficult to remove once introduced. Understanding the environmental transfer of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB) and ARGs is pivotal for creating control measures. In this review, we summarize the research progress on the spread and detection of ARB and ARG pollution related to animal husbandry. Molecular methods such as high-throughput sequencing have greatly enriched the information about ARB communities. However, it remains challenging to delineate mechanisms regarding ARG induction, transmission, and tempo-spatial changes in the whole process, from animal husbandry to multiple ecosystems. As a result, future research should be more focused on the mechanisms of ARG induction, transmission, and control. We also expect that future research will rely more heavily on metagenomic -analysis, metatranscriptomic sequencing, and multi-omics technologies

“…The susceptible E. coli entered the tailing phase at a dose of 8mJ/cm 2 while the resistant E coli entered the tailing phase at 20mJ/cm 2 . After both types entered the tailing phase there was no difference in inactivation at higher doses of UV(Zhang, Xu, Wang, Zhuang, & Liu, 2017).Other studies on disinfection of antibiotic resistant E. coli using technologies such as PAA(Huang, Xi, Hu, Tang, & Pang, 2013) solar simulated N-doped TiO2 photocatalysis (L Rizzo et al, 2014),. solar and UV-C driven advanced oxidation with PAA (LuigiRizzo et al, 2019), UV radiation/chlorine (LuigiRizzo, Fiorentino, & Anselmo, 2013), and advanced oxidation processes such as ultraviolet/H2O2 and ultraviolet/PAA (LuigiRizzo et al, 2018) have also been conducted.…”
