Key Contribution and Risk of Airborne Antibiotic Resistance: Total Suspended Particles or Settled Dust?
The study investigates the airborne transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in chicken farms using metagenomic sequencing. Results show that total suspended particles (TSP) have a greater abundance of ARGs than dust. ARGs spread up to 9.48 km within 1 hour. Workers face higher inhalable exposures to ARB and HPARB, exceeding office staff and villagers. The findings emphasize the need for regular air disinfection and better protective measures for workers.
