Popis: Over a three-year field trial, the impacts of composted and raw gentamicin fermentation waste (GFW) application to land on residual soil gentamicin levels, physicochemical properties, bacterial community composition, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were assessed. In the saline-alkali soil tested, GFW application decreased electrical conductivity (EC) and pH. Importantly, there was no measurable long-term accumulation of gentamicin as a result of GFW addition. Changes in the abundance of Bacillus was primarily associated with degradation of gentamicin in soil, whereas wider (i.e. more general) shifts in bacterial communities over the treatments was linked to alteration of soil physicochemical properties, particularly pH, total nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, EC, NO3−-N and NH4+-N. Compared with other treatments, soils receiving composted GFW harbored more types of ARGs and significantly higher (P
