Caecal microbiota richness and evenness of ESBL-Ec− and ESBL-Ec+ broilers. a Observed microbiota richness in all broilers during their production life cycle. Small dots represent the amplicon sequences variants (ASVs) observed in each individual broiler and enlarged dots represent the ASVs mean from all broilers samples in each time point. The grey area represents the 95% confidence interval. Age significantly predicted microbial richness over time (p < 0.001). b Comparison of microbiota richness between ESBL-Ec− and ESBL-Ec+ broilers. The asterisk denotes a p < 0.05 for the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. c Comparison of microbiota evenness between ESBL-Ec+ and ESBL-Ec− broilers
