Prevalence of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes, and their associations in municipal wastewater treatment plants along the Yangtze River basin, China
Environ Pollut. 2024 Mar 20:123800. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123800. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe overuse and misuse of antibiotics have resulted in the pollution of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), posing threats to ecological security and human health. Thus, a comprehensive investigation was conducted to assess the occurrence, removal efficiency, and ecological risks of antibiotics, along with the diversity, abundance, and co-occurrence of ARGs, and their correlations in 13 WWTPs along the Yangtze River Basin. Among 35 target antibiotics, 23 antib...

Ultrasonic-assisted synthesis of CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 /reduced graphene oxide composites for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical products: Ibuprofen and Ciprofloxacin
The objective of this research is to create a highly effective approach for eliminating pollutants from the environment through the process of photocatalytic degradation. The study centers around the production of composites consisting of CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using an ultrasonic-assisted method, with a focus on their capacity to degrade ibuprofen (IBF) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) via photodegradation. The impact of rGO on the structure, morphology, and optical properties of CCTO was inspected using XRD, FTIR, Raman, FESEM, XPS, BET, and UV-Vis. Morphology characterization showed that rGO particle...

Early switch from intravenous to oral antibiotic therapy in patients with cancer who have low-risk neutropenic sepsis: the EASI-SWITCH RCT
CONCLUSIONS: Non-inferiority for early oral switch could not be proven due to trial under-recruitment. The findings suggest this may be an acceptable treatment strategy for some patients who can adhere to such a treatment regimen and would prefer a potentially reduced duration of hospitalisation while accepting increased risk of treatment failure resulting in re-admission. Further research should explore tools for patient stratification for low-risk de-escalation or ambulatory pathways including use of biomarkers and/or point-of-care rapid microbiological testing as an adjunct to clinical decision-making tools. This could ...

GO/AgNW aided sustained release of ciprofloxacin loaded in Starch/PVA nanocomposite mats for wound dressings application
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Mar 19:130977. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130977. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCompared to conventional bandages, which do not meet all wound care requirements, nanofiber wound dressings could provide a potentially excellent environment for healing. In the present research, nanocomposite membrane based on starch (St) - polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers containing ciprofloxacin antibiotic drug loaded on graphene oxide‑silver nanowire (GO-AgNWs) hybrid nanoparticles is produced by electrospinning process. Morphological studies showed that the length and diameter of silver nanowires are 21 ± 9...

Fabrication of a novel HKUST-1/CoFe 2 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 electrode for the electrochemical detection of ciprofloxacin in physiological samples
Talanta. 2024 Mar 20;273:125882. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125882. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this work, a novel HKUST-1/CoFe2O4/g-C3N4 electrode was successfully prepared via the hydrothermal method and the high-temperature calcination method, which can be applied as an electrochemical sensor for the precise detection of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in physiological samples. The novel electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and its electrochemical performance was further evaluated via the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and diff...

Analysis of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii carbapenemase gene distribution and biofilm formation
CONCLUSION: The clinical strains have a high resistance rate to carbapenems, and the CRAB with blaOXA-51 and blaOXA-23 genes has a high resistance to antibiotics and a strong biofilm.PMID:38505565 | PMC:PMC10944714 (Source: International Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Genetics)
