“…But in contrast to animals, the information about the impact and fate of veterinary drugs including anthelmintics in plants remains limited (Bártíková and Skálová, 2016). Plants are able to uptake and transform drugs to non-or less-toxic compounds and store them in vacuoles and cell walls (Bártíková et al, 2015).…”

“…Consequently, these drugs can be detected in natural environments such as animal manure, soil, surface, and underground water resources. The major source of veterinary drugs in nature is biological remnants and the usage of dirty animal faeces in fertilization [70].…”

The recent statistics show that the world's population is rapidly increasing. This increase negatively afects the water resources and it increases the water demand progressively.Along with the increase in the world's population, the insensible use of water resources, pollution, and drought lead to the increasing reduction of water resources. Due to these factors, all countries, primarily developed countries, have started looking for new water resources. This search has been extended to extraterrestrial water. However, the existing technology and opportunities direct countries toward the puriication of wastewater rather than searching for new water resources. For the reasons outlined above, puriication and recycling of wastewater become important. In addition to the natural resistance of microorganisms against antibiotics, a resistance also arises because of the unconscious and overuse of antibiotics. This resistance spreads through wastewater progressively. Antibiotic resistance shows an increase according to the scientiic data. In order to prevent the resistance, it is of capital importance to treat the wastewater in which the domestic pollution burden is high. In this study, the role of domestic wastewater in the occurrence and spread of antibiotic resistance will be revealed.

“…However, this study used concentrations (200 μg/g soil) that are much higher than typically found in agricultural soils (0.006–500 μg/kg soil, Thiele‐Bruhn, 2003). The use of unnaturally high concentrations of antibiotics has recently been recognized as major drawback in relating results to in vivo situations (Bártíkova et al., 2016). …”

Plant performance is correlated with element concentrations in plant tissue, which may be impacted by adverse chemical soil conditions. Antibiotics of veterinary origin can adversely affect plant performance. They are released to agricultural fields via grazing animals or manure, taken up by plants and may be stored, transformed or sequestered by plant metabolic processes. We studied the potential effects of three antibiotics (penicillin, sulfadiazine, and tetracycline) on plant element contents (macro‐ and microelements). Plant species included two herb species (Brassica napus and Capsella bursa‐pastoris) and two grass species (Triticum aestivum and Apera spica‐venti), representing two crop species and two noncrop species commonly found in field margins, respectively. Antibiotic concentrations were chosen as to reflect in vivo situations, that is, relatively low concentrations similar to those detected in soils. In a greenhouse experiment, plants were raised in soil spiked with antibiotics. After harvest, macro‐ and microelements in plant leaves, stems, and roots were determined (mg/g). Results indicate that antibiotics can affect element contents in plants. Penicillin exerted the greatest effect both on element contents and on scaling relationships of elements between plant organs. Roots responded strongest to antibiotics compared to stems and leaves. We conclude that antibiotics in the soil, even in low concentrations, lead to low‐element homeostasis, altering the scaling relationships between roots and other plant organs, which may affect metabolic processes and ultimately the performance of a plant.
