Abstract: |
Antibiotic resistance is one of the major challenges in the field of public health and medicine, which has serious impacts on the health of humans and societies. This problem occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms change in such a way that they are no longer sensitive to antibiotics. This reduces the effectiveness of treatments, increases treatment costs, and increases the risk of transmitting antibiotic-resistant infections to other people. To deal with this problem, various methods for antibiotic removal have been proposed, including the use of advanced technologies in water and wastewater treatment, the use of new process methods in the production of drugs, as well as the promotion of the optimal use of antibiotics by physicians and pharmacists. Also, educating the community about the correct use of antibiotics and the importance of observing medical orders plays an effective role in reducing antibiotic resistance. This article reviews and reviews the methods and strategies of antibiotic removal, and examines the challenges and potentials in this field in order to take the necessary steps to improve the current situation and prevent the increase in antibiotic resistance.
