Abstract:

Sulfonamides, a structurally related group of antibiotics containing a similar 4-aminobenzene sulfonamide backbone. Sulfonamides are synthetic antimicrobial agents which are active against a broad spectrum of pathogenic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, are extensively used in agriculture, aquaculture, animal husbandry, and also as human medicines. Its residues in environment bring to a potential hazard. The eco-toxicity of veterinary sulfonamide antibiotics residue on soil environment, determination, transport, sorption and degradation in soil are summarized in this paper, and the possible future study is also prospected.
