Abstract Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are one of the most commonly used antibiotics for human medicine and animal breeding. Due to their large dosage, FQs are widely retained in the environment, posing potential threat to human and animal health. Microbial degradation is an ideal way to eliminate FQs in the environment at this stage, which has the characteristics of high efficiency, green and low cost. At present, the research on microbial degradation of FQs mainly focuses on the screening of degradable microorganisms and the identification of degradation products. This paper reviewed the functional characteristics of FQs degradation of bacteria, fungi, microalgae and microorganisms, and summarized the common degradation pathways and key enzymes. This review provides a theoretical basis for alleviating the environmental residue problem of FQs.
