摘要：Pharmaceuticals are one of the most critical evolving contaminants. The highest source of the pharmaceuticals contamination is the hospitals, household and pharmaceuticals manufactures. Numerous methods for example physico-chemical and biological methods have been employed in the degradation of pharmaceuticals. As physico-chemical methods are expensive, biological methods- thorough microorganisms are extensively used. A better understanding of the mechanism of biodegradation has a high ecological significance that depends on the indigenous microorganisms to transform or mineralize the organic contaminants. The present review gives a short discussion on the role of microorganisms in degradation of pharmaceuticals.
