A multiplex semi-quantitative immunochromatographic rapid test strip for the detection of Erythromycin, Tylosin/Tilmicosin and 4 Tetracycline antibiotics simultaneously in a honey sample. These tests can be read visually or using a Flowsense reader for improved detection capability.
Antibiotic residues, including Tetracycline’s, Macrolides and Erythromycin, have been detected in commercial honey, potentially stemming from sources such as direct beekeeping practices for disease treatment or environmental contamination. This raises concerns about potential health risks to consumers, including allergic reactions in susceptible individuals, as well as the continued impact on antibiotic resistance, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring.
