Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is the greatest problem for medical science. The consistent use of different antibiotics in human livelihood has resulted in antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Despite a wide range of antibiotics being applied to agriculture, less information is available about how antibiotic resistance arises and the related mechanisms. The use of antibiotics for animals creates selective pressure for antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) in the intestinal microbiota of animals which is excreted via feces. The waste excreted material in the agricultural fields is thus one of the reasons for the transfer of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) from agricultural fields to organisms.
