Fig. 2: Prevalence of antibiotic resistance phenotypes in 485 isolates. aUpSet plot illustrating the diversity of antibiotic resistance profiles for ExPEC isolates. In the combination matrix at the base of the main bar chart, each column represents a distinct phenotypic profile. A colored dot withi...
Antibiotic treatment kills a large portion of a population, while a small, tolerant subpopulation survives. Tolerant bacteria disrupt antibiotic efficacy and increase the likelihood that a population gains antibiotic resistance, a growing health concern.
However, no chart review was performed to confirm this as this work was based on administrative data. However, these antibiotics were all started within 48 h of CIED implantation which would be too early for infection and the choices are ones commonly associated with postoperative prophylaxis. ...
The bar chart on the top shows the number of ARG unique or shared by sample groups, and the bar chart on the left shows the total number of detected ARG subtypes. b The Venn diagram shows the number of ARGs shared by the human gut and the aquaculture system. c The percent stacked ...
Bar chart: distribution and abundance of ARGs carried by plasmids, integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) and chromosome; pie chart: distribution pattern of transposons and integrons located on plasmids (left) and chromosome carrying reads (right) Full size image In addition to the ARGs carried...
complete downstream microbial diversity and composition analyses, we removed the sequences of chloroplast and mitochondrial ASVs, and thereafter, amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were generated, and sequence data were rarefied to the lowest number per sample to ensure sufficient sequencing coverage based...

The coverage of each contig was calculated by mapping clean reads to the contigs using bbmap (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bbmap/) with the default parameters. 2.5. Identification of ARG-like ORFs and bacterial hosts of ARGs The ARG-like ORFs were identified against the SARG database ...
Health-care providers from both intervention and control health facilities received equivalent clinical refresher training based on the IMCI chartbook. In addition, specific training was provided on the use of the ePOCT+ CDSA in intervention facilities and the use of the eCRF in control facilities....
For full-length test dataset, the sequence similarity filter (“–iden 80”) and coverage (“–coverage 0.8”) were used. For other subsequence test datasets, sequence similarity was set to the same, while the “coverage” was set according to their proportion to full-length sequences, ...
