► Heavy metals were found coexisting with antibiotics in manures and manure-amended agricultural soils. ► The relative abundance of sulfonamide and tetracycline ARGs were high in manures and soils. ► Positive but weak correlations were found between ARGs and their corresponding antibiotics. ► Signif...
