Influence of agricultural practices on soil microbiota and distribution of antibiotic resistance genes during lettuce cultivation
This study aims to evaluate how different agricultural practices influence soil microbial communities and the distribution of antibiotic resistance genes during lettuce cultivation. By comparing pesticide-free and conventionally managed soils, with and without antibacterial treatments, the research provides important insights into the environmental impact of farming practices and the potential risks associated with the spread of antibiotic resistance in agroecosystems.
