Persistence of antibiotic resistance genes in beef cattle backgrounding environment over two years after cessation of operation.

Persistence of antibiotic resistance genes in beef cattle backgrounding environment over two years after cessation of operation.

Confined animal feeding operations can facilitate the spread of genes associated with antibiotic resistance. It is not known how cattle removal from beef cattle backgrounding operation affects the persistence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. We investigated the effect of ces...
