Description

Oscar Victor Cardenas Alegria and colleagues report a 2026 study of germs and drug resistance in pig waste. Waste ponds on pig farms can spread resistance genes to soil and water. The team tracked germ groups and resistance genes in waste ponds and in soils spread with manure. They used shotgun metagenomics, a method that reads all DNA in a sample at once.

Eighty samples came from twenty pig farms, with waste before and after pond care and soils with or without manure past. Waste held mostly three large germ groups, while soils held more soil germs such as Streptomyces. Pond care cut germ diversity and shifted groups toward stress hardy types. Manure spread soils showed changed germ mixes as well. Pond and soil steps both shape where resistance genes move.
