| Abstract: |
| The extensive utilization of antibiotics in livestock farms has resulted in the emergence of numerous antibiotic resistant bacteria, which has invariably accelerated the spread of antibiotic resistance genes（ARGs）in farms. As a repository of ARGs, aerosol has become a critical concern for environmental health owing to its high potential risks. Experts and scholars at home and abroad have conducted series of studies on the distribution characteristics, transmission, and transfer mechanisms of ARGs in the air, and the interaction between ARGs and microorganisms in livestock farms. This paper contains the following： a review on the recent progress in the study of airborne ARGs in livestock farms, an analysis of the fate of ARGs in the air in typical farmlands at home and abroad, as well as the transmission mechanisms, and lastly a discussion on the potential risks, as reference for future risk management and ARGs control in livestock farms. |
