Metagenomic Analysis of the Microbial Communities and Resistomes of Veal Calf Feces

Metagenomic Analysis of the Microbial Communities and Resistomes of Veal Calf Feces

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health concern, and dairy calves, including veal calves, are known reservoirs of resistant bacteria. To investigate AMR in the fecal microbial communities of veal calves, we conducted metagenomic sequencing of feces collected from individual animals o...
