Shotgun metagenomics reveals microbiome composition and functional pattern,  antimicrobial resistance and virulence potential of the resident microbiome along a beef processing chain
The purpose of this work is to assess, through shotgun metagenomics, the distribution patterns, the antimicrobial resistance and virulence potential of the resident microbiome along a beef processing chain, from the abattoir to the retail. In addition, the effects of different packaging and storage conditions on microbiome dynamics during meat shelf-life were also evaluated.
