Abstract

Antibiotics are certainly miracle drugs and have comprehensive usages in humans and livestock for the treatment of various bacterial diseases. However, inappropriate or misuse of antibiotics can lead to the development of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria change in responding to the usage of these medicines. These bacteria can also be disposed of from animals to humans via contact between humans and animals directly, or through the food chain and the environment. Antibiotic resistance is a great threat to global humanity as it can prolong treatment in hospitals, increase medical costs, increase mortality, and burden the family. Residual antibiotics above the maximum residue limit (MRL) are harmful to human health and animals and need to be monitored. By increasing national policies, international declarations, agreements for enough chemical and analytical instrumental facilities, and above all, creating awareness about the harmful effect of resistance, the situation of antibiotics resistance can be improved.
