Fig. 3From: Comparative gut microbiota and resistome profiling of intensive care patients receiving selective digestive tract decontamination and healthy subjectsAntimicrobial resistance genes present at significantly higher or lower levels in the microbiota of ICU patients, compared to healthy subjects. ARGs that are present at significantly higher (aac(6′)-Ii, ermC, qacA, and tetQ) or lower (catA and tetW) abundance in ICU patients, compared to healthy subjects, are shown. Testing for statistically significant differences was performed by the Mann-Whitney U test, with Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple testing (*q < 0.05; **q < 0.01). The horizontal line denotes the median value. The detection limit of the qPCR assay is indicated with the dashed line Back to article page
