Abstract
Numerous studies have investigated the composition and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in multiple environments but the pattern of ARGs in field-collected soil fauna remains poorly understood. In the present study soil collembolans were collected from six sites with three different land use types (parkway land, park land, and arable land) and 285 ARGs and 10 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in the microbiome of these "wild" collembolans were quantified by high-throughput quantitative PCR. A total of 76 unique ARGs and 5 MGEs were detected. There were significant differences between collection sites in the antibiotic resistome in the collembolans. Land use significantly altered ..
