Impact of Wuyiencin Application on the Soil Microbial Community and Fate of Typical Antibiotic Resistance Genes.

ABSTRACT: Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have raised numerous concerns in recent years as emerging environmental contaminants. At present, research on environmental contamination by antibiotics focuses on medical, animal husbandry, and aquaculture fields, with few studies on environmental contamination by agricultural antibiotics in the field of plant protection. Wuyiencin is a low toxicity, high efficiency, and broad-spectrum agricultural antibiotic. It has been widely used in agricultural production and it effectively controls crop fungal diseases. In the present study, pot experiments with four soil treatments (A, B, C and D) were set up in a greenhouse to investigate the effect of the application of wuyiencin on the fate of typical ARGs and microbial community. Eight typical ARGs were detect
