As sequence coverage increases detection of encoded AMR gene composition becomes more consistent and reliable. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of the number of reads mapped to AMR genes in subsampled sequence replicates for (A) Enterococcus, (B) Escherichia coli, and (C) Klebsiella isolates. Ordination was conducted using NMDS and Bray–Curtis dissimilarity. Subsampled genome coverage is differentiated by point shape and colour. n = 10 replicates for each of the five coverage levels (50 total per isolate). Ellipses represent 99% confidence regions. Ellipses for 0.1X genome coverage have been omitted
