The administration of nitrofurans to livestock to treat or prevent animal diseases has been banned in the EU for the production of food of animal origin. The corresponding marker residues are tissue-related metabolites AMOZ, AHD, SEM, and AOZ. The MRPL (minimum required performance limit)/RPA (Reference point for action) was set at 1 µg kg in the EU.

Article Synopsis
- Colistin is a polypeptide antibiotic primarily used in pigs and poultry to combat gastrointestinal infections and is classified as critically important for humans by the WHO due to the risk of antimicrobial resistance.
- Three commercially available ELISA kits were tested for their effectiveness in detecting colistin in poultry and porcine muscles, ensuring compliance with the European maximum residue limit (MRL) of 150 µg/kg.
- All three kits showed high specificity (0% false positives), with two kits able to detect colistin at or below the MRL, while the third kit had a lower detection capability of 30 µg/kg.

Efficient screening methods are needed to control antibiotic residues in eggs. A microbiological kit (Explorer® 2.0 test (Zeu Inmunotech, Spain)) and an immunobiosensor kit (Microarray II (AM® II) on Evidence Investigator™ system (Randox, UK)) have been evaluated and validated for screening of antibiotic residues in eggs, according to the European decision EC/2002/657 and to the European guideline for the validation of screening methods.
