Distribution and risk assessment of antibiotic resistance genes in swine farm wastewater and its surrounding environments: from soil to water

, were screened in the environment. Our results indicated that the swine farm wastewater had long-term effects on the surrounding surface water and groundwater and that MGEs can serve as a medium that contributes to the widespread distribution of various ARGs. This study provides a theoretical basis for the risk assessment of ARGs in farms and the reuse of farm wastewater.
