| Abstract: |
| To obtain an understanding of the worldwide status of research into antibiotics in the poultry and livestock breeding industries, relevant scientific output based on the online version of Science Citation Index Expanded to 2016 was evaluated in this paper(21 394 papers in total). The characteristics of the research patterns, tendencies, and hot topics in the papers were also assessed. The results revealed that the number of reports related to veterinary antibiotics had increased dramatically over the last twenty years, rising from 387 in 1995 to 1601 in 2016. Research topics included residues, fates, safety assessments, and aspects of virulence. Particular attention was paid to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. After synthetic analysis of author keywords, keywords plus, titles, and abstracts, it was concluded that tetracyclines, quinolones, and sulfonamides were currently the predominant focus of antibiotic pollutants in the breeding industry, and would continue to be so for at least the next decade. Furthermore, isolation, prevalence, high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), the polymerase chain reaction(PCR), virulence, residues, and growth performance were currently the key research topics. The studied media for the veterinary antibiotics included food, feed, manure, meat, milk, and soil. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the bibliometric results, veterinary antibiotics still constitute a popular research topic in agriculture, and antibiotics such as tetracyclines and quinolones, as well as the related antibiotic-resistant bacteria, will remain the main focus of research. |
