Clusters of Antibiotic Resistance Genes Enriched Together Stay Together in Swine Agriculture
13 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide health risk, but the influence of animal agriculture on the genetic context and enrichment of individual antibiotic resistance alleles remains unclear. Using quantitative PCR followed by amplicon sequencing, we quantified and sequenced 44 genes related to antibiotic resistance, mobile genetic elements, and bacterial phylogeny in microbiomes from U.S. laboratory...
