[Characteristics of Antibiotic Resistance Genes Distribution in Different Types of Agricultural Land Soils in Highly Cultivated Hilly Areas].

To characterize the distribution of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs) in different types of agricultural soil in highly cultivated hilly areas, the abundance and diversity of ARGs in vegetable, orchard, and arable soils were analyzed in this study. The results showed that 70 ARGs and four mobile genetic elements(MGEs) were detected in all soil samples, with -lactam being the most abundant genes in the agricultural soils. In vegetable and orchard soils, the main ARG subtypes were and () genes, whereas the and genes were predominant in cropland soils. The relative abundance and diversity of soil ARGs showed that cropland
