Whole Genome Sequencing Analysis of Porcine Faecal Commensal <i>Escherichia coli</i> Carrying Class 1 Integrons from Sows and Their Offspring

Whole Genome Sequencing Analysis of Porcine Faecal Commensal <i>Escherichia coli</i> Carrying Class 1 Integrons from Sows and Their Offspring

Intensive pig production systems often rely on the use of antimicrobials and heavy metal feed additives to maintain animal health and welfare. To gain insight into the carriage of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in the faecal flora of commercially reared healthy swine, we characterised the gen...
