    Abstract:

    【Objective】 The prevalence and dissemination of antibiotics resistance genes (ARGs) in farmland soils have become a major threat to food security and human health. However, there is still no effective method to remediate ARGs-contaminated farmland soil. Chemical fumigation and reductive soil disinfestations (RSD) are widely used to kill soil-borne pathogens in agricultural production, but it is still unknown whether they are capable of reducing the abundance of ARGs in ARGs-enriched soil. 【Method】 In this study, an ARGs-enriched farmland soil due to long-term application of chicken manure was selected, and soil incubation experiment with seven treatments: CK (control without soil treatment), FCK (maximum water holding capacity treatment), DZ (chemical fumigation with 0.02% dazomet), and RSD with 1% ethanol (ET, TOC: 521.7 g·kg-1), alfalfa (AL, TOC: 454.9 g·kg-1, C/N: 21.2), molasses (MO, TOC: 270.1 g·kg-1, C/N: 12.6) and the mixture of alfalfa and molasses (AM, m/m=1: 1), were conducted to investigate the shifts in absolute abundance and relative abundance of ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) via real-time PCR. The effects of different treatments on soil ARGs and MGEs were evaluated by reduction rate. 【Result】 Results showed that RSD treatment could decrease the relative abundance of aadA21, msrE, tetG, tetM, and ErmF genes, with the reduction of the aadA21 gene in relative abundance being 50.5%-58.3% in AL-, MO-, and AM-treated soils, while the relative abundances of msrE, tetG, and tetM genes were significantly lowered by ET treatment, with the reduction rate being as high as 80.9%, 78.3%, and 66.9%, respectively. Meanwhile, RSD treatment could significantly decrease the relative abundance of MGEs (IS6100 and IS26 gene), with the reduction rate being 67.7%-74.3% and 38.1%-42.6%, respectively. In addition, the relative abundances of ARGs and MGEs were slightly increased in DZ treatment, with the increasing rate of ARGs and IS26 gene being 21.9% and 42.6%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 Collectively, RSD treatment can decrease soil ARGs contamination by reducing the relative abundance of ARGs and MGEs, limiting the horizontal transfer ability of ARGs, and the reduction effect is related to the type of organic materials used. Moreover, RSD treatment is more effective in reducing the relative abundance of ARGs and MGEs than dazomet fumigation and has the potential for rapid remediation of ARGs-contaminated soil.
