Abstract

Antibiotics are extensively employed as bacteriostatic agents for fighting against microbial infection in animals. However, inappropriate doses of antibiotic drugs may result in antibiotic residues in food of animal origin and may cause various side effects on human health. Moreover, the transferor of antibiotic-resistant bacteria to humans through the food chain may induce serious health hazards. Hence, it is vital to develop sensitive and selective methods for rapid screening and regular monitoring of antibiotic residues in animal-derived foods. The conventional different chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques are time-consuming, expensive and require skilled personnel. To overcome such limitations, biosensors have emerged as an innovative approach recently and integrated with nanotechnologies for sensitive, rapid and on-site monitoring of different antibiotic residues in animal origin foods. This mini-review aims to give an overview of the currently available biosensing techniques to detect antibiotic residue in foods.

摘要

抗生素被广泛用作对抗动物微生物感染的抑菌剂。然而，抗生素药物剂量不当可能会导致动物源性食品中的抗生素残留，并可能对人体健康造成各种副作用。此外，耐抗生素细菌通过食物链传递给人类可能会导致严重的健康危害。因此，开发灵敏和选择性的方法来快速筛查和定期监测动物源性食品中的抗生素残留至关重要。传统的不同色谱和光谱技术耗时、昂贵并且需要熟练的人员。为了克服这些限制，生物传感器最近已成为一种创新方法，并与纳米技术相结合，用于敏感、对动物源性食品中不同抗生素残留的快速现场监测。这篇小评论旨在概述目前可用的生物传感技术来检测食品中的抗生素残留。
