[Display omitted] •Oxytetracycline can be degraded effectively by black soldier fly larvae.•Intestinal microorganisms facilitate the bioremediation of antibiotic contamination.•This is the first report of ARGs and MGEs in the gut of black soldier fly larvae. As a saprophytic insect, the black soldie...
