Review on antibiotic residues in animal products and its impact on environments and human health

TLDR
In this paper, a review on antibiotic residues in animal products and its impact on environments and human health is presented, where the authors focus on the effects of antibiotic residues on the environment and the human health.
Abstract
Antibiotics are mainly employed for chemotherapeutic, prophylactic purposes and also used as feed additives to promote growth and improve feed efficiency. However, antibiotic residues in animal products may occur, when administration of drug in extra label fashion and not following of withholding period after treatment. Many of the administered drugs are not completely absorbed from gut and excreted through faeces and urine as either parent compound or its toxic metabolites. The application of manure or farm effluents in agricultural land leads to selection of resistant bacteria, development and transmission of antibiotic resistance genes in the microbes. The antibiotic resistance in animal and human leads to poor response to treatment during illness. The antibiotic residues in animal product causes harmful effect on health and also interfere with the processing of milk and milk products. The present review focuses on antibiotic residues in animal products and its impact on environments and human health.

TL;DR: It is revealed that chicken samples collected from Lebanese farms contain antibiotic residues, and guidelines for prudent use of antimicrobials agents for chicken should be adopted to reduce the prevalence of resistant Salmonella in chicken.

Tetracycline and ciprofloxacin multiresidues in beef and chicken meat samples using indirect competitive ELISA.

TL;DR: The amounts of tested antibiotics were not high in the meat samples, consequently using of beef and chicken meat by consumers in Iran is not resulted in entrance of high amounts of the antibiotics into human body.
