The relationship between the environment and antibiotics, a subject that has not yet been fully explored in Paraguay. Antibiotics are chemotherapeutic agents that restrict or nullify the growth of microorganisms. Currently they are widely used in human and veterinary medicaments, in a beneficial way in agriculture, aquaculture, apiculture and livestock, be with therapeutic targets or growth promoters, which have impacted positively or negatively. Between the negative impacts of the use of antimicrobials, mention is made of the appearance of bacteria resistant to the effects of these drugs as well as their dissemination, through elements of the environment such as water. This review, besides addressing these aspects, also contemplates possible alternatives for mitigating the effects of the spill on the environment, as well as current international policies. The collection of updated information extracted from different search platforms has made it possible to highlight the current situation of the problem.

Palabras clave : antimicrobials; resistence; environment.
