From: Ceftiofur reduced Fusobacterium leading to uterine microbiota alteration in dairy cows with metritis
Ceftiofur effects on rectal temperature (RT), total bacteria, and antibiotic resistance in postpartum cows with metritis. a RT of cows was compared between 5 ± 1 DPP and 7 ± 1 DPP within the group using paired t-test (CEF: P = 0.04*, CON: P = 0.18). b The number of total bacteria in the uterus was quantified as the log copy number of the 16S rRNA gene per swab. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare total bacteria between 5 ± 1 DPP and 7 ± 1 DPP within the group (CEF: P = 0.08†, CON: P = 0.30). c The percent of animals carrying blaCTX-M gene. Data in a and b are presented by mean ± SEM
