Description
Summary:Highlights • Antibiotics applied to soil with manure increased abundance and transfer of resistance genes. • Antibiotics transiently affected structure and functioning of soil microbial communities. • Dissipation of antibiotics and transfer of resistance genes were enhanced in the rhizosphere. • Continuous release of antibiotics from sequestered forms into soil water prolonged bioavailability.
