Abstract:

With the progress of the times, antibiotics for treating bacterial diseases have been constantly developed, and they are widely used in animal husbandry and medical industries. The residual antibiotics are difficult to be decomposed in the animal body and human body, they get in the environment along with the excreta, they are reabsorbed by animals or accumulate in animals. Different types of antibiotics can also cause damage to the balance of microbial populations in the environment and even induce the production of resistance genes, which cause irreversible harm to humans. It this review, we analyze the antibiotic residues entering the human body by various forms, and the harm they can bring to human health. We summarize some common methods for detecting antibiotics and the methods for degrading antibiotics, including biodegradation, abiotic degradation and combined biodegradation. At last, we point out the future direction of the antibiotics’ residual degradation in the environment.

Key words: ecological environment, antibiotic residue, resistance gene, antibiotics detection, degradation
