Effect of polyethylene microplastics on antibiotic resistance genes: A comparison based on different soil types and plant types.

Microplastics (MPs) in soil can carry antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), posing risks to ecosystems and human health. MPs affect microbial networks and ARG distribution, with potential impacts on soil enzyme activities and plant health. Study highlights need to address MP contamination to protect environment.
