Antibiotics are drugs that effectively combat bacterial infections. They play a significant role in medicine due to their effectiveness in treating infections in animals, while generally exhibiting low toxicity.It is important to consider the risks to consumers arising from their use in food-producing animals, particularly those related to the presence of antibiotic residues in animal-derived products.Consumption of antibiotic residues can lead to various adverse effects, such as an imbalance in the gut microbiota, toxic or allergic reactions, and the selection of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria. Their use therefore raises numerous concerns, which is driving health policies toward reducing their use, particularly through the ban on all antibiotic additives in animal feed.
