Abstract

Antibiotics are used widely in veterinary medicine and the indiscriminate use of these drugs contributes with the gradual increase of the bacterial resistance. The resistance to antibiotics is a serious problem of public health because of man use products and derivatives source from treated animals. The origin of the resistance can be genetic or not. Today the number of bacteria have become resistant to pharmaceutical antibiotics in veterinary medicine and human medicine beings grows more faster than the new drugs which are developing in the pharmaceutical industry.
