Abstract
Antibiotics are a necessary part of the world today where their main purpose is to
counter bacteria and diseases. Antibiotics are used in many areas which include
apiculture, domestic, livestock and medically. Since antibiotics are ingested regularly
following excretion, they are present in sewage plants and the environment. Overconsumption
of antibiotics (knowing and unknowingly) may lead to bacteria becoming
used to those antibiotics and an antibiotic resistance is formed. The consumption of
antibiotics becomes troublesome when resistances to certain antibiotics and when
side effects are extremely harsh on patients.
