This study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of antibiotic residues (n=37) including fluoroquinolone (n=10), tetracycline (n=4), macrolide (n=3), sulphonamide (n=7), penicillin (n=7), cephalosporin (n=3), amphenicol (n=2) and trimethoprim (n=1) groups in chicken meat samples. Concentration of selected antibiotics in samples (breast meat, n=25), which were collected from different local markets in Hatay, Adana, Gaziantep, Mersin and Osmaniye provinces, were determined by LC-MS/MS. In the current study, no detectable concentration of antibiotic residues was found in the tested samples. In addition, the usefulness of LC-MS/MS method to identify multi antibiotic residues in foods of animal origin has been also proven to support the existing knowledge in this area. Finally, it is reasonable to assume that chicken meat consumption poses no risk for public health in terms of selected antibiotic residues.
