Predicting mixture toxicity and antibiotic resistance of fluoroquinolones and their photodegradation products in Escherichia coli

Abstract

Antibiotics in the environment usually co-exist with their transformation products with retained toxicity, raising concerns about environmental risks of their combined exposure. Herein, we reported a novel predictive approach for evaluating the individual and combined toxicity for photodegradation products of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs). Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models with promising predictive performance were constructed and validated using experimental data obtained with 13 FQs and 78 mixtures towards E. coli. A structural descriptor reflecting the interaction among FQ molecules and the target protein was employed in the QSAR models, which was obtained through molecular docking and thus provided a rational mechanistic explanation for these models. The predicted results indicated that the degradation products displayed varying degrees of changes compared to the parent FQs, while the combined toxicity of FQs and their degradation products was mostly additive. Furthermore, following UV irradiation the degradation products displayed elevated capacity of inducing resistance mutations in E. coli, though their overall toxicity was reduced. This result highlights the implications of antibiotic degrad...Continue Reading

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
