Abstract
An antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) is considered a novel contaminant for the environment. Most animal feces are usually made into commercial organic fertilizers in China and will pose a threat to the farmland soil and agricultural product if fertilizers harboring clinically significant antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) genes are applied on farmland.
