Abstract

The intensive use of antibiotics, worldwide, in animal husbandry, has led to the development and enrichment of different environments in antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs). Moreover, the subsequent application of manure contributes to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in soil. The spread of ARB and ARGs through trophic networks and potential human transmission indicate the need for innovative treatment approaches and  strategies to reduce manure contaminants.
