摘要： Florfenicol (FF), an alternative veterinary antibiotic for chloramphenicol, has been widely utilized in livestock breeding to prevent and treat bacterial diseases. However, the toxicological effects of FF have yet to be fully disclosed. The domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori), a lepidopteran model, was selected to assess the toxicological effects of FF dietary exposure with multi-omics. The findings showed that high-dose (250 mu g/L) FF exposure increased the whole cocoon weight. High-dose FF exposure affected the species richness and community diversity of the microbiota in the silkworm midgut. Biochemical processes and innate immunity were impacted by FF exposure. The KEGG pathways impacted by the midgut microbiota and their metabolites were compared, and several pathways were found to be related to the two ecosystems. In addition, the innate immunity and lipid metabolism pathways were impacted, and some of the differentially expressed genes were enriched in these pathways. These related pathways may involve crosstalk between the midgut microbiota shift, midgut biological functions, and global gene expression. Therefore, our study also advances the application of the silkworm larval model in assessing antibiotic metabolic toxicity and provides novel insights into the potential risks of FF.
