Ecological Effects and Fate of Fluoroquinolones Residues in Soil

Abstract:

Fluoroquinolones are synthetic antimicrobial agents that are active against a broad spectrum of pathogenic Gram-negative and -positive bacteria by selectively inhibiting DNA gyrase and used in a wide variety in clinic because of their good pharmic kinetics and curing effects, thus causing environmental pollution. The physicochemical characteristics of fluoroquinolones and their environmental effect, identification, monitoring and bioremediation in soil were summarized in this paper.
