Identification of antibiotics and veterinary medicines.
The problem of bacterial resistance to known antibiotics is becoming increasingly pressing.
An increasing number of antimicrobial agents are proving to be less effective in combating infectious diseases.
One of the factors contributing to this serious problem is the human consumption of animal-derived products containing residual amounts of antibacterial agents.Many countries strictly monitor the levels of antibiotic and veterinary drug residues in animal-derived products, such as meat, milk, fish, honey and many others. To successfully export their products abroad, producers are required to provide an analysis report for their products covering various groups of antibiotics. As there are virtually no standardised methods for determining antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, nitroimidazoles, tetracyclines, macrolides, sulphonamides, streptomycins and many others, and the requirements for antibiotic analysis are extremely high, Thermo Scientific™ has developed a unique solution for regulatory laboratories and manufacturers of animal-derived products.
