3.B. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) - Measuring ARGs in dairy manure
(2018-08)In spite of these limitations, molecular data is revolutionizing the ability to study ARGs and provides an approach to monitor ARGs on farm, in the human medical clinics, and in the environment. Such surveillance will be ... -
3.A. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) - Prevalence in dairy manure
(2018-08)More than 60 different ARGs have been found in cattle manure; tetracycline resistance genes may be the most common. A USDA-ARS study that sequenced the genome (See Fact Sheet 3.B.) of 160 antibiotic resistant E. coli and ... -
2.B. Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) - Measuring ARB in dairy manure
(2018-07)ARB are bacteria that have the ability to resist the effects of an antibiotic. They are naturally occurring, and can be found in dairy manure (See Fact Sheet 2.A.). Phenotypic [i.e. by growth patterns] or genotypic [i.e. ... -
2.A. Antibiotic resistant bacteria - Prevalence in dairy manure
(2018-07)Generally, less than 15% of tested bacterial isolates from US dairy manure samples are ARB, though for some bacterial species and antibiotics, higher prevalences have been reported. Resistance to tetracycline appears the ... -
