Data underlying the publication: The effect of sulfadiazine in manure on accumulation of sulfonamide resistance genes in freshly consumable plants

Animal manures used for fertilization of soils meant for arable food production can be held responsible for dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes to food products. Especially plants whose harvested products can be consumed freshly are of concern. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of sulfadiazine (SDZ)-manured soil on the selection of sulfonamide resistance genes in freshly consumable plants.
