Antibiotics are used worldwide to treat diseases in humans and other animals; most of them and their secondary metabolites are discharged into the aquatic environment, posing a serious threat to human health.

Abstract At present, the concentration of environmental pollutants, such as pesticides and antibiotics exposed in environment, especially in aquatic environment is increasing. These contaminants are exposed through aquatic environment to fish and ultimately accumulate in humans. Research on environmental pollutants has exploded in the past two years. However, there are still few studies on the combined effects of pesticides and antibiotics on fish, especially on fish gills. A separate analysis of the toxic effects caused by an environmental pollutant cannot fully show the real situation. In this paper, cypermethrin (CMN) and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) were analyzed and found that there was a strong correlation between the pathways affected by the first 30 genes regulated by CMN and SMZ respectively. Therefore, the toxic effects of CMN (0.651 μg/L) and/or SMZ (0.3 μg/L) on grass carp gill were studied in this paper. Histopathology, quantitative real-time PCR and other methods were used to detect the tissue morphology, oxidative stress level, inflammation and apoptosis-related indicators of the fish gills after exposure 42 days. It was found that compared with the single exposure (SMZ/CMN) group, the combined exposure (MIX) group had a more pronounced oxidative stress index imbalance. At the same time, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signal pathway was activated and immuno-inflammatory reaction appeared in MIX group. This study reveals the harm of CMN and SMZ to fish, and provides a reference and basis for the rational use of pesticides and antibiotics.
