Table 2 Abundance of sequence reads per Kilobase per million reads (RPKM) of ARGs associated with different drug classes and mechanisms of action in fecal samples from gilts (n = 12) Raised in an organic breeding operation. TP1: Arrival/quarantine start, TP2: introduction to training pen, TP3: introduction to breeding pen, TP4: breeding pen 3 d, TP5: breeding pen 7 d, TP6: breeding pen 10 d, TP7: artificial insemination (AI), TP8: AI plus 3 d, TP9: AI plus 7 d, TP10: AI plus 10 d.

From: Temporal dynamics of the resistome in gilts raised in an organic operation in which semen used for artificial insemination is the primary source of antimicrobial exposure
