This project aims to decipher the transmission routes of antibiotic resistance from animal manure to manured soil and vegetable. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) threaten human health, but the pathways and mechanisms for transmission of ARGs in the environment are unknown. This project will investigate all the major classes of ARGs in typical animal manure and vegetable form, and possible routes for their transmission from manure to soil and to vegetable surfaces and endophytic bacterial communities. The results are expected to identify the ARGs indicators likeliest to spread into the food chain, and develop management options to tackle the environmental antibiotic resistance.

本项目旨在破译抗生素耐药性从动物粪便到粪肥土壤和蔬菜的传播途径。抗生素耐药基因（Antibiotic resistance genes，ARGs）威胁着人类健康，但ARGs在环境中的传播途径和机制尚不清楚。该项目将调查所有主要类别的典型动物粪便和蔬菜形式的ARG，以及它们从粪便传播到土壤和蔬菜表面和内生细菌群落的可能途径。预计结果将确定最有可能传播到食物链中的ARG指标，并制定管理方案以解决环境抗生素耐药性问题。
