Decreasing bioaccessible antibiotics, heavy metals, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil by adsorption is an attractive, but unrealized, approach for reducing (co)selection pressure from antibiotics and heavy metals on bacteria and ARG horizontal transfer to pathogens for ARG risk...

The issue of growing increasing of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in manure-fertilized soil needs urgently addressing. In this study, “fermentation from fruit and vegetable waste” (FFVW) was produced to reduce ARG abundance in swine manure-fertilized soils. With a six-month field...
