Abstract

In the present dissertation the topic is antibiotics in foods of animal origin. Antibiotics were introduced into medicine at the beginning of the 20th century and very soon found application in the field of animal husbandry. They are given to animals for treatment and protection against diseases, but also as growth factors. Unfortunately, they have been used recklessly for several decades, leading to the development of resistance mechanisms for several microorganisms, which is a potential risk factor for human health.The European Community has a strict legal framework governing the use of antimicrobials in productive animals. Globally, however, the danger has long been realized, although instructions are now being issued and it is urged to limit their use to a minimum and only when absolutely necessary.The European Community has a strict legal framework governing the use of antimicrobials in productive animals. Globally, however, the danger has long been realized, although instructions are now being issued and it is urged to limit their use to a minimum and only when absolutely necessary.a number of antibiotics as well as strains of microorganisms resistant or with a genome showing resistance have been identified in many animal products around the world by many researchers, such as eggs in Vietnam and India, cheese and yogurt in China. By applying many different methods of analysis, the control and detection of antibiotic residues in animal products is achieved.
