“…A significant number of papers exist in the literature demonstrating the sensitivity and uptake of antibiotics from irrigation water, manure- or sludge-amended soils by crops into the plant biomass (Kang et al, 2013; Azanu et al, 2016). For example, onions, cabbage, and corn have been shown to take up chlortetracycline (Dolliver et al, 2007); corn, lettuce, and potato have been shown to take up sulfamethazine (Dolliver et al, 2007); wheat has been shown to take up chlortetracycline into the grain (Tasho and Cho, 2016); lettuces and carrot were shown to take up trimethoprim (Boxall et al, 2006).…”

“…Those that phytoconcentrate can theoretically select for resistance in the microbiome of the plant as well as the organism that consumes/feed off the plant, despite apparently non-selective concentrations of antibiotics in the environment (Na et al, 2013; Azanu et al, 2016). A similar phenomenon has been shown for the phytoconcentration of metals, which cannot only theoretically impact the selection for metal resistance genes in the plant microbiome, but also in the herbivores that consume the plant (Winder et al, 1999).…”

The environment is increasingly being recognized for the role it might play in the global spread of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance. Environmental regulators monitor and control many of the pathways responsible for the release of resistance-driving chemicals into the environment (e.g., antimicrobials, metals, and biocides). Hence, environmental regulators should be contributing significantly to the development of global and national antimicrobial resistance (AMR) action plans. It is argued that the lack of environment-facing mitigation actions included in existing AMR action plans is likely a function of our poor fundamental understanding of many of the key issues. Here, we aim to present the problem with AMR in the environment through the lens of an environmental regulator, using the Environment Agency (England’s regulator) as an example from which parallels can be drawn globally. The issues that are pertinent to environmental regulators are drawn out to answer: What are the drivers and pathways of AMR? How do these relate to the normal work, powers and duties of environmental regulators? What are the knowledge gaps that hinder the delivery of environmental protection from AMR? We offer several thought experiments for how different mitigation strategies might proceed. We conclude that: (1) AMR Action Plans do not tackle all the potentially relevant pathways and drivers of AMR in the environment; and (2) AMR Action Plans are deficient partly because the science to inform policy is lacking and this needs to be addressed.

“…The concentration range of antibiotics is generally measured at ng L −1 to a few µg L −1 in many water sources [73], though concentrated wastewater can have much higher levels [65]. Recent studies have demonstrated that plants can take up antibiotics (like amoxicillin, ketoconazole, lincomycin, oxytetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, sulfonamides, and tetracyclines) [74][75][76] and antibiotic contaminated irrigation water can play a significant role in the uptake [77]. The environmental fate and transport of antibiotics depend on various physical properties such as water solubility, lipophilicity, volatility and sorption potential [77].…”

In the race to enhance agricultural productivity, irrigation will become more dependent on poorly characterized and virtually unmonitored sources of water. Increased use of irrigation water has led to impaired water and soil quality in many areas. Historically, soil salinization and reduced crop productivity have been the primary focus of irrigation water quality. Recently, there is increasing evidence for the occurrence of geogenic contaminants in water. The appearance of trace elements and an increase in the use of wastewater has highlighted the vulnerability and complexities of the composition of irrigation water and its role in ensuring proper crop growth, and long-term food quality. Analytical capabilities of measuring vanishingly small concentrations of biologically-active organic contaminants, including steroid hormones, plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, in a variety of irrigation water sources provide the means to evaluate uptake and occurrence in crops but do not resolve questions related to food safety or human health effects. Natural and synthetic nanoparticles are now known to occur in many water sources, potentially altering plant growth and food standard. The rapidly changing quality of irrigation water urgently needs closer attention to understand and predict long-term effects on soils and food crops in an increasingly fresh-water stressed world.

“…For having no ME in wastewater and urine, values of linearity in wastewater and urine were assessed by calibration curve of standards solution at different concentrations (1,5,20, 50, 100, and 200 g/L). The R 2 value of most analytes was more than 0.999.…”

Multiclass method for the quantification of 92 veterinary antimicrobial drugs in livestock excreta, wastewater, and surface water by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry

A simple multiresidue method was developed for detecting and quantifying 92 veterinary antimicrobial drugs from eight classes (β-lactams, quinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, lincomycins, macrolides, chloramphenicols, and pleuromutilin) in livestock excreta and water by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The feces samples were extracted by ultrasound-assisted extraction with a mixture of acetonitrile/water (80:20, v/v) and edetate disodium, followed by a cleanup using solid-phase extraction with an amino cartridge. Water samples were purified with hydrophilic-lipophilic balance solid-phase extraction column. Urine samples were extracted with acetonitrile and edetate disodium. Detection of veterinary antimicrobial drugs was achieved by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry using both positive and negative electrospray ionization mode. The recovery values of veterinary antimicrobial drugs in feces, urine, and water samples were 75-99, 85-110, and 85-101% and associated relative standard deviations were less than 15, 10, and 8%, respectively. The limits of quantification in feces, urine, and water samples were 0.5-1, 0.5-1, and 0.01-0.05 μg/L, respectively. This method was applied to determine real samples obtained from local farms and provides reliable quantification and identification results of 92 veterinary antimicrobial drugs in livestock excreta and water.
