Publication date: Available online 17 October 2018Source: Biosensors and BioelectronicsAuthor(s): Zhiyang Li, Chuqing Liu, Victor Sarpong, Zhiyong GuAbstractAntibiotics such as penicillin and tetracycline drugs are widely used in food animals to treat, control, and prevent diseases, and penicillin is approved for use to improve growth rates in pigs and poultry. However, due to the overuse of antibiotics in food and medical industry, the antimicrobial resistance is starting to show up in some developing countries. The antibiotic abuse may cause allergic reactions, resistance in microorganisms and general lowering of immunity in consumers of meat and dairy products. It is important and necessary to develop an easy, inexpensive, and quantitative sensing method to monitor and analyze the antib...
