“…In soil, antibiotics could negatively impact soil health through its interaction with the microbial community. It has been reported that antibiotics affect the overall population of soil microorganisms [17,18], enzyme activity [19,20], carbon and nitrogen mineralization [21], and competition with cations for exchange sites [22].…”

Background There is paucity of information on antibiotics utilization amongst farmers, factors associated with administration of antibiotics and farmers' knowledge of the effects of antibiotics on the soil ecosystem in Ghana. Methods A cross sectional quantitative survey across three coastal regions of Ghana was undertaken amongst poultry and livestock farmers. Six hundred respondents were selected from five districts each across the three regions. Pretested and structured questionnaire were used to collect data through face to face interview. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Factors associated with antibiotic administration were determined using binary multiple logistic regression at p � 0.05. Results Out of the 600 farmers, 95% administered antibiotics and 84% bought antibiotics over-thecounter without prescription. Approximately 9% of antibiotic administration was carried out by veterinary officers, and the remaining, 91% based on farmer's experience. Approximately 93% had access to antibiotics without any difficulty. Withdrawal period was always observed by only 16% of farmers. Majority (74%) of farmers never had education on antibiotics and none of the farmers screened manure for the antibiotic residuals. Years of farming, income status, level of education of farmers, type of animal kept, access to extension services, registration with farmers' association, employing veterinary services, location of farm, system of production, education on antibiotics and access to antibiotics positively and significantly predicted the administration of antibiotics by farmers. Majority of farmers had inadequate knowledge of the effects of antibiotics on soil ecosystem with mean score ranging between 2.87±0.60 and 2.98 ± 0.7 on a scale of 5.0.

“…Therefore, we have studied the influence of the antibiotics contained in the potential substrates on the functional activity of the suspended, and the immobilized anaerobic sludge. Therefore, kanamycin, ampicillin, and benzylpenicillin, which are traditionally used in poultry and cattle farming [7][8][9], were added to the methane generating medium. Most of the antibiotics used in veterinary practice are not completely absorbed in the intestines, and 30-90% of these substances As was earlier established in the studies on the production of various biofuel types, PVA cryogel can withstand excess pressure of gases (CO 2 and H 2 ) produced by the anaerobic microorganisms and does not prevent either the access of nutrients to the producer cells or removal of their metabolites [30].…”

Long-Term Storage and Use of Artificially Immobilized Anaerobic Sludge as a Powerful Biocatalyst for Conversion of Various Wastes Including Those Containing Xenobiotics to Biogas

et al. 2019

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the possibilities of anaerobic sludge cells immobilized into poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogel for the methanogenic conversion of various lignocellulosic waste and other media containing antibiotics (ampicillin, kanamycin, benzylpenicillin) or pesticides (chlorpyrifos or methiocarb and its derivatives). It was established that the immobilized cells of the anaerobic consortium can be stored frozen for at least three years while preserving a high level of metabolic activity. The cells after the long-term storage in an immobilized and frozen state were applied for the methanogenesis of a wide number of wastes, and an increase in both methane yield and methane portion in the produced biogas as compared to the conventionally used suspended anaerobic sludge cells, was ensured. It was shown that the “additional” introduction of bacterial Clostridium acetobutylicum, Pseudomonas sp., Enterococcus faecalis cells (also immobilized using same support) improves characteristics of methanogenesis catalyzed by immobilized anaerobic sludge.

“…The presence of antibiotics in soil poses a prospective risk to ecosystem health because of the selective pressure that is exerted on soil microbial communities. Many studies have revealed that antibiotics affect the number of different groups of microorganisms (Pinna et al, 2012 ; Akimenko et al, 2015 ; Xu et al, 2016 ), the structural and genetic diversity of microorganisms and the overall microbial activity (Demoling et al, 2009 ; Cui et al, 2013 ; Liu et al, 2014 ; Reichel et al, 2014a , b ; Cycoń et al, 2016a ; Xu et al, 2016 ). Moreover, the impact of antibiotics on the enzyme activities, carbon mineralization, and nitrogen cycling has been proven (Liu et al, 2009 ; Kotzerke et al, 2011 ; Rosendahl et al, 2012 ; Chen et al, 2013 ; Ma et al, 2016 ).…”

“…Moreover, mainly fast growing microorganisms are involved in this analysis (Floch et al, 2011 ). Many studies have indicated that dehydrogenase, phosphatase and urease activities are sensitive indicators of the microbial response to stress that is caused by antibiotics in the soil environment (Yang et al, 2009 ; Akimenko et al, 2015 ; Xu et al, 2016 ). However, interactions between the antibiotic and/or multidrug-resistant strain and the soil microbial biochemical potential are still little known.…”

Vancomycin and/or Multidrug-Resistant Citrobacter Freundii Altered the Metabolic Pattern of Soil Microbial Community

et al. 2018

Despite many studies, our knowledge on the impact of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria on the metabolic activity of soil microbial communities is still limited. To ascertain this impact, the community level physiological profiles (CLPPs) and the activity of selected enzymes (dehydrogenase, urease, and phosphatases) in soils treated with vancomycin (VA) and/or multidrug resistant Citrobacter freundii were determined during a 90-day experiment. A multivariate analysis and the resistance (RS)/resilience (RL) concept were used to assess the potential of native microorganisms to maintain their catabolic activity under exposure of VA and/or a high level of C. freundii. In addition, the dissipation rate of VA was evaluated in non-sterile (nsS) and sterile (sS) soils. The results revealed a negative impact of VA on the metabolic activity of soil microorganisms on days 1, 15, and 30 as was showed by a decrease in the values of the CLPP indices (10–69%) and the enzyme activities (6–32%) for treated soils as compared to the control. These observations suggested a low initial resistance of soil microorganisms to VA and/or C. freundii but they were resilient in the long term. Considering the mean values of the RS index, the resistance of measured parameters was categorized in the following order: alkaline phosphatase (0.919) > acid phosphatase (0.899) > dehydrogenase (0.853) > the evenness index (0.840) > urease (0.833) > the Shannon-Wiener index (0.735) > substrate richness (0.485) > the AWCD (0.301). The dissipation process of VA was relatively fast and independent of the concentration used. The DT50 values for VA applied at both concentrations were about 16 days. In addition, the dissipation of VA in nsS was three times faster compared to the dissipation of antibiotic in sS. In conclusion, both CLPP and enzyme activities assays appeared to be useful tool for the determination of disturbances within soil microbial communities and used together may be helpful to understand the changes in their catabolic features. The entry of large quantities of VA and/or C. freundii into soil may temporarily change microbial activity thus pose a potential risk for soil functioning.
