摘要
Dear Editor, Fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR), and levofloxacin (LEV)) are an extensively used family of antibiotics prescribed for various infections;however, they are also increasingly used to promote livestock growth. After oral administTation, much of the parent compound is excreted via urine and feces and can enter the environment at a high concentration. These antibiotics are only partially removed in wastewater treatment plants and become a part of the environment through irrigation practices.
