OCENA WYSTÊPOWANIA LEKÓW SULFONAMIDOWYCH W BIOSFERZE Abstract: Sulfonamides, derivatives of p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, have been used in the treatment of patients with bacterial diseases since 1940s. According to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classifica- tion (ATC) they are included in a group of antibacterial agents, intended mainly for internal use, commonly known as antibiotics. Sulfonamides are also used as herbicides and feed additives in agriculture. It is estimated that their annual world consumption in veterinary medicine only can be up to 15 thousand Mg (tons). At present, sulfonamides are detected in almost 100 % of environmental samples which are checked from the point of view of antibiotics contents. Typically, the determined concentrations of sulfonamides are lower than mg × dm–3 but in liquid manure they were even detected at the 100 mg × kg–1 level. An environmental risk caused by sulfonamides, estimated based on their ecotoxicity, is not great. However, there are evidences that they take part in generating drug resistance of microorganisms. Newly arisen drugresistance genes can be transferred between different strains of bacteria, eg by conjugation. As a result, these genes may occur in pathogenic bacteria present in the ecosystems that have not previously been exposed to antibiotics. The aim of this paper was to present the problems connected with the occurrence of sulfonamides in different ecosystems. Based
