The dataset of avian gut resistome from different regions of Kazakhstan

Supplementary data for the manuscript by Shilov et al. “The Chicken Gut Resistome Data From Different Regions of Kazakhstan”. In this study, we assessed data on antibiotic resistance genes identified in the bacterial gut microbiota of chickens. Tracheal and cloacal swabs collected from populations of domestic and industrial birds in different regions of Kazakhstan were used as samples. The isolated bacterial DNA was sequenced using the Ion Torrent PGM sequencing platform. Analysis of the obtained short DNA sequences for the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in the bacterial genome was performed using the RGI bwt.
