Description
Summary:The article is devoted to the analysis of available information about the migration of antibiotics in natural aquatic environment. Realizing the mechanism of drug release into the environment and into the aquatic environment will further develop protective measures and mechanisms to prevent appearing of antibiotic resistance genes in the aquatic environment. For example, in Russia during 2015 - 2016 only, for medical purposes 915.65 tons of antibiotics were used. It should be noted that the main danger of antibiotics is that they do not completely collapse and do not lose their original properties after ingestion, but almost completely retain their biological activity. It leads to the fact that the active molecule of the active substance is released unchanged during physiological secretions or through the skin and is able influence the environment.
