Summary: This study provides an insight about how quickly antibiotic resistance can arise under selective pressure of antibiotics and antibiotic use directly precedes the rise of resistant pathogens. Samples of fresh fecal piles were collected from two cattle feedlots where antibiotics are used and not used. This research shows development of new molecular techniques in the determination of antibiotic resistance in broad spectrum antibiotics such as oxytetracycline.
