Article Synopsis
- Microplastics and triclosan (TCS) are common pollutants in water that can harm aquatic life, but there’s limited research on their combined effects.
- A study on Xenopus tropicalis tadpoles found that aged polyethylene microplastics (aPE-MPs) enhance the accumulation and toxicity of TCS, leading to greater oxidative stress and neurotoxicity than either substance alone.
- The experiment showed that the interaction between TCS and specific proteins increases harmful effects, highlighting the dangers of dual exposure to aged microplastics and contaminants.
The abuse and overuse of antibiotics increased not only the exposure of aquatic animals to antibiotics but also the development of resistance in pathogenic bacteria. To investigate the effects and mechanisms of exposure, a long-term experiment lasting 120 days was conducted in which Xenopus tropicalis was exposed to single and combined stress factors of multiresistant pathogenic Shigella flexneri and ciprofloxacin (CIP). The intestinal oxidative stress, immune factors and flora, as well as the brain-gut axis correlation factors of X.
