The distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in chicken gut microbiota commensals

Abstract Antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens or several indicator bacteria is commonly studied but the extent of antibiotic resistance in bacterial commensals colonising the intestinal tract is essentially unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the presence of horizontally acquired...
