Comparison of antimicrobial resistant genes in chicken gut microbiome grown on organic and conventional diet
Antibiotics are widely used in chicken production for therapeutic purposes, disease prevention and growth promotion, and this may select for drug resistant microorganisms known to spread to humans through consumption of contaminated food. Raising chickens on an organic feed regimen, without the use...
