Metagenomic Characterization of Poultry Cloacal and Oropharyngeal Swabs in Kenya Reveals Bacterial Pathogens and Their Antimicrobial Resistance Genes

Figure 2

Rarefaction curves of samples clustered at 90% sequence identity. The rarefaction curves for each sample were plotted without replacement. Rarefaction is used to simulate an even number of reads per sample. In this study, the rarefaction depth chosen is 90% of the minimum sample depth in the dataset. For each poultry species and sample type, CN = chicken, DK = duck, GF = guinea fowl, GS = goose, PN = pigeon, and TY = turkey.
