Antimony （Sb） is a major pollutant that poses a serious threat to the environment in the mining and processing of nonferrous metals, coexisting with sulfide and oxide of arsenic （As）. Microorganisms play an important role in the migration, transformation, and repair of metals in soil. The ecological effects of bioavailable Sb and As on the microbial community in antimony mining areas（mining and smelting areas）are still poorly understood. The Wenzel method and high-throughput 16S rDNA amplicon were used to characterize soil pollution characteristics in different functional areas, and the relationship between the bacterial community and bioavailable concentrations have been investigated comprehensively. The results showed that： Chemical speciation of Sb and As were amorphous, and poorly crystalline hydrous oxides of Fe and Al （F3） > well-crystallized hydrous oxides of Fe and Al （F4） > residual phases （F5） > specifically adsorbed （F2） > non-specifically adsorbed （F1）. According to the estimation of the potential ecological risk index （RI） and geo-accumulation index （
