In this study, batch and reconstructed soil column experiments were conducted to examine the sorption and transference of antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) in three different soils (red soil, yellow soil, and calcareous soil) with long-term application of pig or chicken manure, which exhibited contrasting properties. It was found that the Freundlich model was fitted satisfactorily to isothermal sorption process of ARB in all experimental soils, with the sorption capacity (K_F) being higher in soils amended by chicken manure than amended by pig manure. As a biocolloid, ARB transferred faster in the soils than water. Breakthrough recoveries of ARB in different soils followed the order of yellow soil > red soil > calcareous soil, with soil texture exerting the greatest impact. In yellow and red soils, greater ARB transferring occurred under pig manure amendment than under chicken manure amendment; however, an opposite difference was observed in calcareous soil. At the leaching stage, a significant transferring of ARB was also evidenced, which was more significant in soils amended by pig manure than amended by chicken manure. In conclusion, ARB transferring in soil is affected by both soil properties and manure type.
