Insight into the key factors and mechanism of excellent tetracycline adsorption on amorphous cobalt carbonate nanosheets
Chemosphere. 2024 Apr 4:141840. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141840. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe extensive use of tetracyclines (TCs) has led to their widespread distribution in the environment, causing serious harm to ecosystems because of their toxicity and resistance to decomposition. Adsorption is presently the principal approach to dispose of TCs, and the development of excellent adsorbents is crucial to TC removal. Herein, a novel amorphous cobalt carbonate hydroxide (ACCH) was successfully prepared by a one-step solvothermal method, which was identified as Co(CO3)0·63(OH)0.74·0.07H2O. The ultimate adsorpt...

Characterization and removal mechanism of fluoroquinolone-bioremediation by fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides 11 isolated from aquacultural sediments
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-33142-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAntibiotics have been widely detected in aquatic environments, and fungal biotransformation receives considerable attention for antibiotic bioremediation. Here, a fungus designated Cladosporium cladosporioides 11 (CC11) with effective capacity to biotransform fluoroquinolones was isolated from aquaculture pond sediments. Enrofloxacin (ENR), ciprofloxacin (CIP) and ofloxacin (OFL) were considerably abated by CC11, and the antibacterial activities of the fluoroquinolones reduced significantly after CC11 treatment. Transcrip...

First study in the frequency of isolation and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles of pig and cattle origin Campylobacter strains in Romania
AbstractCampylobacter spp. is recognized as one of the most common pathogens involved in the development of gastrointestinal infections in humans. The current study aimed to enhance the knowledge on the occurrence and molecular characterization ofCampylobacter spp. in pigs and cattle origin caecum samples (n = 56) collected in one year, from nine Romanian slaughterhouses, and to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of the isolated strains. AllCampylobacter spp. strains (n = 41) isolated from swine and cattle caecum samples were analyzed in terms of antimicrobial resistance, in accordance with the EURL pro...

Microbial response and recovery strategy of the anammox process under ciprofloxacin stress from pure strain and consortia perspectives
Environ Int. 2024 Mar 26;186:108599. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108599. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCiprofloxacin (CIP) poses a high risk of resistance development in water environments. Therefore, comprehensive effects and recovery strategies of CIP in anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) process were systematically elucidated from consortia and pure strains perspectives. The anammox consortia was not significantly affected by the stress of 10 mg L-1 CIP, while the higher concentration (20 mg L-1) of CIP caused a dramatic reduction in the nitrogen removal performance of anammox system. Simultaneously, the abundances of...

Changing dynamics of antibiotic resistant Escherichia in Caspian gulls shows the importance of longitudinal environmental studies
This study is focused on Escherichia spp. isolates resistant to critically important antibiotics (cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin and colistin) among Caspian gull's (Larus cachinnans) chicks nesting in the Nove Mlyny Water Reservoir, Czech Republic. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria within wild birds is commonly evaluated using a single sampling event, capturing only a brief and momentary snapshot at a particular location. Therefore, the Caspian gulls in our study were sampled in May 2018 (n = 72) and May 2019 (n = 45), and a water sample was taken from the reservoir (2019). We obtained 197 isolates id...
