“In the battles against bacterial infections in healthcare and agriculture, antibiotics have been used at a massive scale for many decades. It was estimated that the annual antibiotics consumption reached 100 000−200 000 tons in 2010 worldwide, and up to 90% of the administered antibiotics were discharged directly into the environment in various active forms.1 …Fresh human red blood cells (HRBCs) were purchased from Innovative Research Inc. (Novi, MI), stored at 4 °C, and used within 2 weeks.
