Quantitative comparisons of resistome between various sample types. Richness (a) as indicated by number of unique gene groups (gene group discovery) assignments, α-diversity (b) as measured through inverse Simpson index, and evenness (c) of resistome as Pielou’s evenness index at the resistance gene group level among various sample matrices are depicted by box-and-whisker plots. Boxes represent the interquartile ranges (upper line is the 75% quantile, and the lower line is the 25% quantile), the lines inside the boxes are the medians, the whiskers span the range of the 25% quantile or the 75% quantile plus 1.5 times the interquartile range, and dots are outliers
