To address this data gap, feces were recovered from 36 lots of \u201craised without antibiotics\u201d (RWA) and 36 lots of \u201cconventional\u201d (CONV) beef cattle. Samples (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 719) were collected during harvest and distributed over a year. AMR was assessed by (i) the culture of six AM-resistant bacteria (ARB), (ii) quantitative PCR (qPCR) for 10 AMR genes (ARGs), (iii) a qPCR array of 84 ARGs, and (iv) metagenomic sequencing.

In the present study, levels of AMR were generally similar between CONV and \u201craised without antibiotics\u201d (RWA) cattle. Only a limited number of modest AMR increases was observed in CONV cattle, primarily involving macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLS) and tetracycline resistance. Macrolides (tylosin) and tetracyclines (chlortetracycline) are administered in-feed for relatively long durations to reduce liver abscesses. To ensure judicious AM use, the animal health, economic, and AMR impacts of shorter duration in-feed administration of these AMs should be examined. However, given the modest AMR reductions observed, further reductions of AM use in U.S. beef cattle production may not yield significant AMR reductions beyond MLS and tetracycline resistance.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.01682-17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,9]],"date-time":"2017-09-09T00:35:20Z","timestamp":1504917320000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":85,"title":["Impact of \u201cRaised without Antibiotics\u201d Beef Cattle Production Practices on Occurrences of Antimicrobial Resistance"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Amit","family":"Vikram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Roman L.
