Antimicrobials and ARGs can be transferred to agricultural land, which increases their concentrations in the environment. The concentrations of 13 antibiotics in digestate samples from biogas plants (BPs) were investigated in this study. The abundance of ARGs encoding resistance to beta-lactams, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin antibiotics, and the integrase genes were determined in the analyzed samples. The presence of cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium, zinc, and mercury was also examined. Antimicrobials were not eliminated during anaerobic digestion. Their concentrations differed in digestates obtained from different substrates and in liquid and solid fractions (ranging from 62.8 ng\/g clarithromycin in the solid fraction of sewage sludge digestate to 1555.9 ng\/L doxycycline in the liquid fraction of cattle manure digestate). Digestates obtained from plant-based substrates were characterized by high concentrations of ARGs (ranging from 5.73 \u00d7 102 copies\/gDcfxA to 2.98 \u00d7 109 copies\/gDsul1). The samples also contained mercury (0.5 mg\/kg dry mass (dm)) and zinc (830 mg\/kg dm). The results confirmed that digestate is a reservoir of ARGs (5.73 \u00d7 102 to 8.89 \u00d7 1010 copies\/gD) and heavy metals (HMs). In addition, high concentrations of integrase genes (105 to 107 copies\/gD) in the samples indicate that mobile genetic elements may be involved in the spread of antibiotic resistance. The study suggested that the risk of soil contamination with antibiotics, HMs, and ARGs is high in farms where digestate is used as fertilizer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20032672","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,2]],"date-time":"2023-02-02T02:21:12Z","timestamp":1675304472000},"page":"2672","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Digestate from Agricultural Biogas Plants as a Reservoir of Antimicrobials and Antibiotic Resistance Genes\u2014Implications for the Environment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5486-2739","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Izabela","family":"Wolak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Water Protection Engineering and Environmental Microbiology, Faculty of Geoengineering, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Prawoche\u0144skiego 1, 10-720 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sylwia","family":"Bajkacz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Biotechnology, Faculty of Energy and Environmental Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Akademicka 2, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2907-4199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"Harnisz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Water Protection Engineering and Environmental Microbiology, Faculty of Geoengineering, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Prawoche\u0144skiego 1, 10-720 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klaudia","family":"Stando","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Biotechnology, Faculty of Energy and Environmental Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Akademicka 2, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4204-6798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"M\u0119cik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Water Protection Engineering and Environmental Microbiology, Faculty of Geoengineering, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Prawoche\u0144skiego 1, 10-720 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3106-2381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ewa","family":"Korzeniewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Water Protection Engineering and Environmental Microbiology, Faculty of Geoengineering, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Prawoche\u0144skiego 1, 10-720 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154556","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2022.154556","article-title":"Uncovering antimicrobial resistance in three agricultural biogas plants using plant-based substrates","volume":"829","author":"Sun","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sci.
