A critical review of the adsorption-desorption characteristics of antibiotics on microplastics and their combined toxic effects

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 35, P. 103729 - 103729

The interaction between microplastics (MPs) and pollutants is crucial for assessing the environmental risk of MPs. It necessary to pay attention adsorption/desorption behavior antibiotics on MPs due their potential role in antibiotic resistance. When MPs-loaded are ingested by organisms, they enter gastrointestinal tract undergo desorption, leading corresponding toxic effects. Existing literature primarily focuses adsorption behavior, while there a lack systematic generalizations desorption or combined effects organisms. Therefore, this article provides review mechanisms, biological tract. Desorption suggests that characteristics (aging hydrophobicity) components fluid (digestive enzyme species pH) can also have effect desorption. Moreover, summarizes induced MPs-antibiotics, demonstrating either enhance reduce plants, microorganisms, aquatic animals. Since methodological uniformity relevance natural environment main shortcomings existing literature, future research should focus actual water given region studying at gene, protein, metabolic levels. This direction expected provide valuable references insights evaluating antibiotics.

Distribution and risk assessment of microplastics in a source water reservoir, Central China

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Jan. 2, 2025

Abstract The current researches on microplastics in different water layers of reservoirs remains limited. This study aims to investigate the within a source reservoir. Results revealed that abundance ranged from 2.07 n/L 14.28 (reservoir, water) and 3 7.02 (river, water), while varied 350 714 n/kg (dw) sediment) 299 1360 sediment). average surface, middle, bottom were 6.83 n/L, 6.30 6.91 respectively. Transparent fibrous smaller than < 0.5 mm identified as predominant fraction with Polypropylene Polyethylene being prevalent polymer types. Additionally, pollution load index, hazard risk index calculated for sediments. showed surface exhibited moderate level sediments posed low risk. Both middle elevated levels due higher concentrations polymers significant toxicity indices. presents novel findings distribution layers, providing crucial data support understanding migration patterns facilitating prevention efforts.

Microplastics mediates the spread of antimicrobial resistance plasmids via modulating conjugal gene expression

Environment International, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 195, P. 109261 - 109261

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and environmental degradation are existential global public health threats. Linking microplastics (MPs) AMR is particularly concerning as MPs pollution would have significant ramifications on controlling of AMR; however, the effects spread genetic mechanisms bacteria remain unclear. Herein, we performed Simonsen end-point conjugation to investigate impact four commonly used transfer clinically relevant plasmids. The breadth a representative pA/C_MCR-8 plasmid across bacterial communities was confirmed by cell sorting 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Our study shows that exposure found promotes rates plasmids up 200-fold, when compared non-exposed group MP concentrations demonstrate positive correlation with higher rates. Furthermore, show induce expression plasmid-borne conjugal genes SOS-linked such recA, lexA, dinB dinD. High-throughput sequencing broad transmission pA/C_MCR-8, distribution over two main phyla, Pseudomonadota (50.0 %-95.0 %) Bacillota (0.4 %-2.0 %). These findings definitively link emergencies - via MPs, tackle AMR, must also now consider plastic utilisation waste management.
