Fig. 2

Fold change of the relative quantity of five resistance genes aggregated on the five participating farms. Fold change is displayed from before treatment to two days after treatment (T1 to T2, top), from after treatment to exit from the wiener stable (T2 to T3, middle), and from start of treatment to exit from the wiener stable (T1 to T3, bottom). The y-axis is on log2 scale meaning that a value of one equals a that a gene is present in twice the amount relative to the 16 s gene at the later time compared to the prior time, a value of zero is no change, and minus one is half the prior level. Boxes represent the interquartile range, whiskers represent the range of the data limited to 1.5 interquartile range
