  1. ARG antibiotic resistance gene, CTX-M plasmid-mediated cefotaximases, MLS macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin
  2. Normalized coefficients are based on the mean baseline ARG length-corrected relative abundance (LCRA) and demonstrate a relative change in ARG LCRA per defined daily dose (DDD) of the antibiotic
