[Research Progress and Prospect of Antibiotic Resistance Gene Contamination in Soil-vegetable System]

Abstract

As a new environmental pollutant, the widespread existence of antibiotic resistance genes （ARGs） has brought about a series of environmental and human health problems. Livestock manure is considered to be an important repository of ARGs, and its resource utilization has potential environmental risks. Soil-vegetable systems are the core link in agricultural production, and it is also an important way for humans to communicate with the environment. The utilization of livestock and poultry manure in agricultural production leads to the proliferation and spread of ARGs in soil-vegetable systems. ARGs in soil-vegetable systems may be ingested by humans through the food chain and pose a threat to human health. Therefore, on the basis of briefly discussing the sources and hazards of ARGs in the soil-vegetable system, this study focused on the environmental behavior of ARGs in the soil-vegetable system； summarized the occurrence characteristics, migration rules, and key influencing factors of ARGs in the soil-vegetable system； and put forward suggestions and prospects suitable for the prevention and control of ARGs pollution in the soil-vegetable system in order to provide theoretical support for China's agricultural green development.
