Summary: The study revealed that the aging process significantly altered the surface properties of MPs, increasing specific surface areas, forming oxygen-containing groups, and changing surface morphology, which further enhanced microbial colonization. The bacterial community on MPs showed higher biofilm-forming and pathogenic potential compared to leachate. Results also indicated selective enrichment of ARGs on MPs, with an enhancement in enrichment potential during the aging process. Co-occurrence networks suggested the presence of non-random, closer, and more stable ARGs-bacterial taxa relations on MP surface, influencing ARG transmission.
