Abstract
The presence and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are causing substantial global public concern; however, the dispersal of ARGs in the food chain is poorly understood. Here, we experimented with a soil collembolan ( Folsomia candida)-predatory mite ( Hypoaspis aculeifer) model food chain to study trophic transfer of ARGs in a manure-contaminated soil ecosystem. Our results showed that manure amendment of soil could significantly...
