The ecological risks posed by perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) to the aquatic environment have recently been of great concern. However, little information was available on the impact of PFAAs on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) profiles. In this study, the receiving river of the largest fluoropolymer production facility in China was selected to investigate the effects of PFAAs on ARGs profiles. The highest PFAAs concentration for water samples near the industrial effluent discharge point was 310.9 μg/L, which was thousands times of higher than the average concentration collected at upstream sites. Perfluorooctanoic acid accounted for more than 67.2 % of ∑PFAAs concentration in water samples collected at the downstream sites, followed by perfluorohexanoic acid (3.6 %–15.9 %). 145 ARG subtypes including high-risk ARGs were detected by metagenomic technology. The results indicated that the discharge of PFAA-containing effluents had a significant impact on the abundance and diversity of ARGs in receiving waters, and PFAAs and water quality parameters (e.g., pH, NHN, COD, TP) could largely affect ARG profiles. Specifically, short-chain PFAAs had similar impacts on ARG profiles compared to the restricted long-chain PFAAs. This study confirmed the potential effects of PFAAs on ARGs in aquatic environment and provided more insights into the ecological risk raised by PFAAs.
