Aerosolization behavior of antimicrobial resistance in animal farms: a field study from feces to fine particulate matter

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in animal feces can be released into the atmosphere via aerosolization, posing a high health risk to farm workers.
