Abstract Antibiotics are vital in combating infections by targeting bacteria and disrupting their growth. Understanding their various classes and modes of action helps us appreciate their role in healing. Bioremediation offers an environmentally friendly approach to removing antibiotics using microorganisms and plants. Techniques such as bioreactors, electrochemical systems, and hybrid methods can enhance pollution solutions. Biostimulation aids in cellular activity and tissue restoration, while ozone therapy is popular for facial rejuvenation. Phytoremediation, using plants like Myriophyllum aquaticum and Pistia stratiotes, effectively removes antibiotics from water, with various factors influencing its success. Integrated systems combine multiple methods to improve pollutant removal. Advanced techniques like metagenomics help analyze microbial communities and improve bioremediation outcomes. Nano-bioremediation enhances efficiency and bioavailability while addressing the limitations of traditional methods. Antibiotic biodegradation is crucial for environmental health, and wastewater treatment can involve ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. Despite successful bioremediation methods using diverse organisms, challenges such as antibiotic resistance and the potential for artificial wetlands to harbor resistance genes remain significant concerns.
