Antibacterial drugs used in animal might result in deposition of residues in meat, milk and eggs. The presence of antimicrobial residues in animal-originated food is critical problem in many countries over the years. Because, drug residues might result in various health hazards, both actual incidence of reactions and potential hazards perceived by the public, the most countries assess residue o...

A total of 100 chicken samples (breast and thigh), 50 fresh carcass samples, 25 local frozen samples and 25 imported frozen samples were analyzed and the antibiotic residues were estimated by using Four Plate Test (FPT). Results revealed that 90 %, 88 % and 72 % of fresh, local frozen and imported frozen samples were positive for residues of different antibiotics, respectively. Samples were pos...

BACKGROUND AND AIM There are global public health and economic concerns on chemical residues in food of animal origin. The use of antibiotics in dairy cattle for the treatment of diseases such as mastitis has contributed to the presence of residues in dairy products. Penicillin residues as low as 1 ppb can lead to allergic reactions and shift of resistance patterns in microbial population as we...

• Antibiotic manufacture, as well as its use, contributes to antibiotic residues in the environment, which leads to development of resistant bacteria • In South East Asia, wastewater containing antibiotics is often directly released into the environment without sufficient treatment • Research must focus on developing efficient, affordable, small scale treatment plants to eliminate antibiotic re...

Background: Fluoroquinolones are among various antibiotic groups used in livestock husbandry. The aim of this screening study was to evaluate the presence of fluoroquinolone residues in fish samples of Stara Zagora region, Bulgaria. Methods: A total of 69 samples from freshwater, marine, and anadromous fish were collected randomly from fish farms and retail stores in Stara Zagora region, Bulga...

Antibiotics are used in animal livestock production for therapeutic treatment of disease and at subtherapeutic levels for growth promotion and improvement of feed efficiency. It is estimated that approximately 75% of antibiotics are not absorbed by animals and are excreted in waste. Antibiotic resistance selection occurs among gastrointestinal bacteria, which are also excreted in manure and sto...
