Abstract
The risks associated with the presence of antimicrobial drug residues in meat and products of animal slaughter were determined. One of them is the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms isolated from meat and products of animal slaughter. It was established that Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Pseudomonas were resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline, tylosin and cephalolexin. However, Listeria monocytogenes did not have resistance to these antibiotics. It was also established that when entering an animal body, antimicrobials were accumulated mostly in liver and kidneys of an animal followed by meat and, to the least degree, in fat. It was found that up to 65% of the tested samples were contaminated with antimicrobials to a greater or lesser degree.

It was established that: 1. Meat and products of animal slaughter contaminated with antimicrobials came for processing; 2
Microorganisms isolated from meat and products of animal slaughter had antimicrobial resistance
Summary
The strategic goal of the food security of Russia is provision of its population with safe food products. With an increase in the need of the population for meat and meat products, it is necessary to increase their production. This is possible at a particular level of livestock and intensification of the muscle weight gain. Antimicrobials are chemical compounds, which destroy microorganisms or inhibit their growth. They can be produced in the natural conditions both by fungi (for, example, penicillin) and bacteria (for example, tetracycline) or can be synthetic or semi-synthetic substances (for example, fluoroquinolones and amoxicillin, respectively). According to the original definition of Nobel Prize Winner Selman Waksman, the term antibiotics refers only to 2016 | No3 ТЕОРИЯ И ПРАКТИКА ПЕРЕРАБОТКИ МЯСА антибиотики (antibiotics) относится только к естественным продуктам микробного происхождения.
