Abstract

In this paper explore about antibiotic impact on chicken, mechanism of antimicrobial resistance, antibiotic impact on poultry worker while using antibiotic in animal for therapeutic and non therapeutic, antibiotic impact on human through environment and animal food, antibiotic impact on children enter through the animal food and vegetables from infected soil and impact of antibiotic to cause cancer. Over the half century almost all known antibiotics are increasingly losing their activity against pathogenic microorganisms. In worldwide more than 60 % of all antibiotics that are used in animal production for both therapeutic (Prophylaxis) an non therapeutic (growth promoters) purposes. Furthermore, antibiotics are widely used to prevent bacterial diseases in plants also. Adequate cooking generally destroy the pathogenic bacteria in food, if hygiene measures are inadequate in food outlets, and it may be that such cross-contamination occurs with other bacteria as well, including resistant strains, but again there is no direct information. In particular, with overuse or prolonged exposure of main antibiotic classes associated with an excess of incident cancer.
