These antibiotics also exert selection pressure on soil/water bacteria and promote development of antibiotic resistance.
This review article shows the side effects of using tetracycline antibiotics on soil, surface and ground waters, human health, and the influence on worldwide economy.
It is recommended to reduce the use of antibiotics as well as apply antibiotics waste management strategies in order to minimize their environmental risks
