Abstract
spp. suggested its limited role in AMR dissemination from swine farms. The significant differences in antimicrobial use among the studied farms allowed us to assess the suitability of whole-genome sequencing as a rapid and efficient technique for the assessment of mid- to long-term on-farm interventions for the reduction of antimicrobial use and the evaluation of AMR status.
