Antibiotic-resistant and respective total counts of targeted bacterial groups in litter samples. In each panel, a dashed line separates data collected at day 27 (two groups, BMD and NAB, n = 6 pens and 12 samples each) from data collected at days 31 and 41 (four groups, n = 3 pens and 6 samples each). To the left, values marked with asterisks show significant (p < 0.05) differences between BMD and NAB. To the right, asterisks show significant (p < 0.05) differences between day 31 or 41 within a treatment, upper case letters indicate significant (p < 0.05) differences between treatments on day 31, and lower case letters show significant (p < 0.05) differences between treatments on day 41. Pairwise comparison of A VRE, B ESBL, C general enterococci, and D general coliform counts
