Antibiotic residues in cattle and sheep meat and human exposure assessment in southern Xinjiang, China

Abstract In recent years, antibiotics have become widely used in animal breeding. The application of antibiotics in livestock may lead to the presence of antibiotic residues in animal‐derived foods, especially meat, that may pose a threat to human health. In this study, 26 common antibiotics (eight...

The application of antibiotics in livestock may lead to the presence of antibiotic residues in animal‐derived foods, especially meat, that may pose a threat to human health. In this study, 26 common antibiotics (eight sulfonamides, nine fluoroquinolones, four tetracyclines, and five macrolides) were screened in 88 meat samples (cattle muscles and sheep muscles, kidneys, and livers) obtained from southern Xinjiang. The antibiotics were screened via the clean‐up step based on solid‐phase extraction and determined through ultraperformance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry.
