Composting is an effective technology to recycle organic solid waste as a green resource. However, pharmaceutical fermentation residue (PFR) contains a variety of pollutants, such as residual drug and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which limits the green cycle of using PFR as a resource. To promote the green recycling of PFR, this study evaluated the characteristics of abundance and the response relationship of ARGs during the process of rapid composting. Different rapid composting samples were collected, and DNA was extracted from each sample. The absolute abundance of ARGs was quantified using quantitative PCR, and the microbial community structure was identified using high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that ermB, ermF, tetM and tetQ were reduced by 89.55%, 15.10%, 89.55%, and 82.30% respectively, and only sul2 increased by approximately 5-fold. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) directly affected the changes in abundance of ARGs. As typical MGEs, intl1 and intl2 decreased by 3.40% and 54.32%, respectively. Potential host microorganisms important factors that affected ARGs and MGEs. A network analysis indicated that the potential host microorganisms were primarily distributed in Firmicutes and Proteobacteria at the phylum level. The pH and content of water-extractable sulfur were physicochemical parameters that substantially affected the abundance of potential host microorganisms through redundancy analysis. Industrial-scale rapid composting could reduce the number of ARGs and shorten the composting cycle, which merits its popularization and application.
