Evaluating the Effect of Fisheries on the Examination of Conventional Drugs in Freshwater
Author(s): Wajeed Khan*
Antibiotics have historically been used to treat illnesses brought on by
dangerous germs in both humans and animals. The rapidly growing
aquaculture business uses a variety of antibiotic classes, which could
leave antibiotic residues in the nearby aquatic environment and cause
the products to increase bacterial resistance. The objective of this study
was to optimise, validate, and apply a solid-phase extraction (SPE)
method in conjunction with liquid chromatography (LC)-LTQ/Orbitrap
mass spectrometry to identify the most frequently used antibiotics in
waters sampled from freshwater and saltwater fish farms in Greece.
The approach was validated under ideal circumstances, with recoveries
ranging from 57.7% for sulfamethoxazole in river water to 95.8% for
florfenicol in river water. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) 15.9%,
with technique quantificati.. View More»
