Abstract excerpt
Long-term effects of earthworms on soil resistomes under realistic field conditions remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted a two-year corn-wheat rotation study within a long-term field experiment established in 2018 to systematically investigate how a one-time earthworm addition durably modulates resistomes. Integrated metagenomics and viromics analyses revealed that diverse ARGs and virulence factor genes...
