dc.description.abstractAntibiotics 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.en_US
