土霉素在土壤中降解特性研究

采用室内培养法研究了不同温度条件下,土霉素在土霉素单一及土霉素-锌复合体系中的降解作用。结果表明,在4℃和25℃时,土霉素在单一及复合体系中的降解速率均随培养时间增加而降低,随土霉素添加浓度的增加而增加。与4℃相比,土霉素在25℃环境条件下降解速率显著提高,半衰期明显缩短。与单一污染相比,在中、高浓度锌胁迫条件下,土霉素的降解速率明显降低,半衰期明显延长。参考POPs国际公约关于化学品持久性的定义,土霉素在单一及复合体系中均属易降解有机物。     

Comparison of lipid-walled microcapsules and lipid spray beads for the delivery of water-soluble, low-molecular-weight materials to aquatic animals

Microparticles (< 40 μm diameter) composed of 600 mg g⁻¹ tripalmitin/400 mg g⁻¹ fish oil were used to encapsulate the low-molecular-weight (mol. wt 460) antibiotic oxytetracycline in the form of either oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC.HCl) or oxytetracycline hemicalcium salt (OTC.HEM). Dry, finely ground particles of core material were encapsulated in spray beads. Dissolved core material was encapsulated in lipid-walled microcapsules.
Oxytetracycline (OTC) was most efficiently delivered (≈ 46.5 mg g⁻¹ lipid after 24 h suspension in seawater) as a hemicalcium salt in spray beads. Lipid-walled microcapsules were most efficient for delivering OTC (≈ 8.7 mg g⁻¹ lipid) as OTC.HCl dissolved in 0.2  M HCl at a concentration of 300 mg mL⁻¹.
Spray beads containing OTC.HEM were very stable over 1 month in storage. Lipid-walled microcapsules containing aqueous OTC.HCl lost ≈ 30% of their core material during storage. Freeze-drying of both microparticle types did not improve storage of spray beads, but showed promise for reducing leakage from lipid-walled microcapsules during storage and delivery to suspension feeders.     

Pharmacokinetics and residues in milk of oxytetracyclines administered parenterally to dairy goats

OBJECTIVE: To determine for two commercial preparations of oxytetracycline (OTC) the pharmacokinetic behaviour, the presence of detectable milk residues and the penetration in milk of OTC administered by intravenous (IV) (conventional formulation [CF]) and intramuscular (IM) routes (CF and long-acting [LA] formulations) in goats producing milk. The effects of these formulations on plasma activity values of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were also determined as indicators of tissue damage. PROCEDURE: Five healthy lactating goats producing 1.5+/-0.5 L/d milk and weighing 56.0+/-4.8 kg were used. Single doses of OTC chlorhydrate (CF) were administered (20 mg OTC/kg) by IV (Trial 1 IV) and IM (Trial 1 IM) routes and OTC dehydrate (LA) by the IM route. The same goats were first given IV CF, then IM CF followed by IM LA with 3 weeks between each treatment. Blood and milk samples were taken. The quantification of OTC was performed by HPLC and the plasma activities of CK and LDH enzymes were determined by spectrophotometry. The presence of OTC residues in milk was determined by a commercial reagent. The plasma pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a two-compartment model. RESULTS: Estimates of kinetic variables following IV administration were: Vss= 400.0+/-120.0 mL/kg and CL= 110.0+/-14.0 (mL/h)/kg. The t(fi) for IV= 3.0+/-0.3 h; IM, CF = 10.5+/-2.1 h and IM, LA = 15.1+/-3.1 h. The concentration of OTC in milk at 48 h was: IV= 0.6+/-0.4; IM CF= 1.1+/-0.2 and at 72 h (IM LA)= 0.6+/-0.1 microg/mL and the penetration in milk of OTC was: IV= 70.0+/-18.0; IM CF= 79.0+/-14.0 and IM LA= 66.0+/-6.0%. The areas under the curve of CK and LDH activities in plasma were calculated by the trapezoidal method. Values of CK and LDH IM, LA were greater (P < 0.05) than those observed for IM, CF at 2 and 3 days after administration of the antibiotic. Finally, the bioavailability of OTC CF = 92.0+/-22.0 and LA= 78.0+/-23.0% was suitable for its usage by the IM route in lactating goats. CONCLUSION: Plasma concentration-time values of OTC administered parenterally in production dairy goats showed similar bioavailability for the two pharmaceutical preaprations. The presence of detectable residues in milk indicates that milk should not be used for human consumption for 2 and 3 days after administration of conventional and long-acting formulations, respectively. The increments in CK and LDH activities after the IM administration of LA are consistent with the presence of tissue damage provoked by the pharmaceutical preparations at the injection site.     

Feed intake and growth of Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (L.), fed diets supplemented with oxytetracycline and squid extract

This study examined the long-term effects of a potential feeding deterrent, oxytetracycline (OTC), and a putative feeding stimulant, squid extract, on feed intake, growth and dry matter (DM) digestibility in Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (L.). Fish were fed one of four diets for 9 weeks: 1. commercial feed formulation (basic); 2. BM (basic plus 20 g kg⁻¹ OTC); 3. BMS (BM plus 10 g kg⁻¹ squid extract); 4. BS (basic plus 10 g kg⁻¹ squid extract). The feed intake of Arctic charr was not reduced by the addition of OTC to the basic feed, and addition of squid extract to the medicated feed did not enhance feed consumption. DM digestibility and growth tended to be reduced in groups of fish fed diets supplemented with the antibiotic (BM and BMS). This suggests that OTC may have interfered with nutrient digestion and absorption. OTC does not seem to be a feeding deterrent for Arctic charr, possibly indicating that the charr is a rather unselective feeder. Because the medicated feeds were readily accepted, there may be little to be gained by addition of feeding stimulants to these types of feeds for charr.     

Comprehensive antibiotic susceptibility profiling of Chilean Piscirickettsia salmonis field isolates

Antibiotics have been extensively used against infections produced by Piscirickettsia salmonis, a fish pathogen and causative agent of piscirickettsiosis and one of the major concerns for the Chilean salmon industry. Therefore, the emergence of resistant phenotypes is to be expected. With the aim of obtaining a landscape of the antimicrobial resistance of P. salmonis in Chile, the susceptibility profiles for quinolones, florfenicol and oxytetracycline (OTC) of 292 field isolates derived from main rearing areas, different hosts and collected over 5 years were assessed. The results allowed for the determination of epidemiological cut‐off values that were used to characterize the pathogen population. This work represents the first large‐scale field study addressing the antimicrobial susceptibility of P. salmonis, providing evidence of the existence of resistant types with a high incidence of resistance to quinolones. Remarkably, despite the amounts and frequency of therapies, our results disclosed that the issue of resistance to florfenicol and OTC is still in the onset.     

Residues from long-acting antimicrobial preparations in injection sites in cattle

Objective To investigate tissue residues of two longacting oxytetracycline (OTC) preparations in cattle.
Design A randomised drug residue trial.  

Animals

Two hundred and forty beef cattle in 24 groups of ten.
Procedure Two blind-coded 200 mg/mL OTC preparations were used in five treatment regimens of various combinations of injection sites (from one to five) and administrations (one or two). Five cattle from each group were slaughtered at 21, 30 and 60 days after injection and the injection site, urine, kidney and diaphragm muscle analysed for residues.
Results The OTC concentration exceeded the maximum residue limit in kidney in animals slaughtered 21 days after treatment, which is the prescribed withholding period. Concentration at the injection site was much greater than the maximum residue limit 30 days post-treatment, but not 45 days post-treatment. The residue was smaller when OTC had been injected in multiple sites. There was no difference between the two OTC preparations.
Conclusion A review of the maximum injection volume, site of injection and the withholding period is needed for long-acting OTC formulations.     

Relative population levels of citrus thrips Scirtothrips aurantii on commercial citrus and adjacent bush

Citrus thrips Scirtothrips aurantii Faure is a serious economic pest in southern Africa. It is indigenous, breeding on many wild hosts as well as on citrus. In this northern Transvaal lowveld study, bush containing known host plants of S. aurantii was not the source of early infestation of a navel orange orchard by adult citrus thrips during September and October. Early-season damage therefore resulted from the activities of citrus thrips which had overwintered in the orchard. In contrast, S. aurantii populations on wild hosts could possibly boost orchard populations later in the season and contribute to late damage on the fruit. This is because, in one of the years, adult thrips numbers were higher in the bush than in the orchard during November and December.     

土霉素处理对柑橘黄龙病的防治效果及PP2基因表达的影响

【目的】评价土霉素(oxytetracycline,OTC)药剂对不同发病程度柑橘黄龙病（Huanglongbing,HLB）的防治效果,并检测OTC处理后韧皮部关键基因——韧皮部蛋白2（PP2）的表达量变化,为HLB的有效防控提供科学依据,也为OTC作用机理研究提供参考。【方法】应用可有效抑制、杀死病原菌的OTC,树干定量注射0.1 g/树于不同发病程度HLB（初感染、轻度发病和重度发病3组）的4年生Valencia夏橙,注射后7、30、60、90 d定期采集Valencia叶片样品监测HLB致病菌Cadidatus Liberibacter asiaticus(Las)含量、淀粉含量及PP2基因表达量变化。树干注射OTC后90 d采集不同处理Valencia的嫩叶、成熟叶片及茎,进行淀粉染色光学显微观察（LM）,直观反映植株累积淀粉的变化。树干注射OTC后80 d调查柑橘嫩叶抽发的情况,综合一系列指标评价OTC对HLB的防治效果。【结果】注射OTC 0.1 g/树对初感染HLB的4年生Valencia植株治疗作用最明显,7 d后检测即为阴性,并可保持90 d,其成熟叶片的淀粉含量明显减少,但茎内仍有淀粉粒富集;轻度发病夏橙注射90 d后叶片内的Las含量从（1.68×10 ⁶±858884）cells/g叶片减至（7.21×10 ⁴±30981）cells/g叶片,下降幅度极为明显,其成熟叶片内的淀粉含量在90 d内一直呈下降趋势;重度发病植株注射后叶片内的Las含量从（4.10×10 ⁸±3.04×10 ⁸）cells/g叶片减至（2.80×10 ⁷±2.70×10 ⁷）cells/g叶片,但从数量而言仍然有较多分布,除了新长出的秋梢,其成熟叶及茎内的淀粉粒含量仍旧很大,说明0.1 g/株OTC不足以治愈4年生重度发病Valencia夏橙。对PP2基因表达分析结果显示,注射OTC后30 d,Valencia夏橙体内的PP2基因表达量大幅度下降,随后90 d内表达量稳定,与注射后30 d的表达量较为一致。 【结论】OTC可以用于HLB的防控,对初感染（Las含量为<9.00×10 ⁵cells/g叶片）及轻度发病（Las含量为9.00×10 ⁵—9.00×10 ⁷ cells/g叶片）的柑橘植株治疗作用较好,不适用于重度发病植株（Las含量为>9.00×10 ⁷ cells/g叶片）的治疗。注射OTC后,PP2基因表达量下降明显,说明OTC可有效减少韧皮部病菌等的胁迫压力。
