The article is devoted to the analysis of available information about the migration of antibiotics in natural aquatic environment. Realizing the mechanism of drug release into the environment and into the aquatic environment will further develop protective measures and mechanisms to prevent appearing of antibiotic resistance genes in the aquatic environment. For example, in Russia during 2015 - 2016 only, for medical purposes 915.65 tons of antibiotics were used. It should be noted that the main danger of antibiotics is that they do not completely collapse and do not lose their original properties after ingestion, but almost completely retain their biological activity. It leads to the fact that the active molecule of the active substance is released unchanged during physiological secretions or through the skin and is able influence the environment.

The article is devoted to the study of available information about identification of groups of antibiotics in urban wastewater. At the same time, results of research conducted in Tunisia, Spain, the United States, China and other countries were examined. The comparison showed that wastewater contains a specific set of antibiotics of a country, which is aroused by special veterinary medicine and pharmaceutical industry in the country. However, there are common antibiotic types of urban wastewater in all countries, because of their high applicability and effectiveness of treating bacterial infections. The question of learning the composition of urban wastewater in Russia remains unstudied.

This review provides analysis of existing methods for detection antibiotics in wastewater. Special attention is paid to the classification of methods for the detection of antibiotics and the possibility of these methods during antibiotics formation with separate components of wastewater complex compounds. According to the classification and a review of detection methods, preference was given to the analysis of the antibiotic content in dust on a solid-state polarograph, analyzing a sample of the solution using a KORIAN-3 analyzer, and differential spectroscopy.
