The biological removal of antibiotic residue in the environment has earned great interest. This study presented the biodegradation of azithromycin using B. cereus isolated from pharmaceutical waste. This azithromycin-degrading bacterial strain grew well in the range of temperatures between 25°C and 40°C under aerobic condition. On the basis of the observation of the morphology, Gram staining, the determination of biochemistry as well as the subsequent analyse of 16S rDNA, the No. 2 bacteria was identified as B. cereus strain. B. cereus also indicated the possibility to use for treating azithromycin, the degradation ability was higher. Thus, B. cereus could be utilized as an effective biological tool for removing azithromycin residue in the environment.
