Indeed, class 1 integrons can carry both sul1 and qac genes, in addition to being able to capture other resistance genes, such as aadA 31 , When comparing sampling time points one and two, a closer examination of the relative abundance and the absolute copy numbers of the targeted genes revealed that the abundance of vat E decreased markedly in farms A and B, an observation that was not made for the other genes measured.
Encoding for an acetyltransferase resulting in streptogramin A resistance in the carrying microorganism, vat E is found in Enterococcus feacium , a microorganism that is part of the intestinal microbiota of broiler chickens 13 , As the vat E gene has been found on transferable plasmids 52 , a great negative fitness cost associated with the carriage of this gene by a microorganism or a decrease in the rate of horizontal transfer for this mobile genetic element could both explain the decrease in the abundance of this gene observed on farms reducing the use of antibiotics.
However, the rate of horizontal transfer of genes is difficult to predict, just as trends in horizontal antibiotic gene transfer according to the antibiotic exposure levels For farm B Figure 3 , results showed an increase in genes associated with bacitracin and sulfonamide resistances. Considering that this farm had adopted a judicious antibiotic program for several years and that the restriction of the preventive use of antibiotics is a main predisposing factor for the occurrence of necrotic enteritis and of other concomitant bacterial infections 10 , these results could reflect an increase in the therapeutic use of these compounds for the treatment of diseased commercial broilers 3.
When comparing flocks between sampling time points one and two, results showed a significant increase in the abundance of five to seven targeted genes for farm D, and we could presume that this increasing trend would be attributed to the antibiotic regimen used on this farm over the past 6 years. In addition, the abundance of the bcrA and bcrB genes increased or decreased jointly in different farms Figures 2 , 3. These observations can be explained by the fact that these two genes are found on the bcrABDR operon This study illustrated an increase in the richness in the samples between points one and two, as well as a marked dispersion of the samples on the NMDS, which was probably attributed to some changes in farm management practices after completion of the months study.
Indeed, as all participating farms that adopted a standardized protocol for chick, feed, water, and litter supply, and for coccidiosis management during the months study went back to their previously highly diverse management practices once completing the study, this probably contributed to the changes observed in the cecal microbiota of broiler chickens. As previously described, many farm management factors can influence bird gut microbiota between flocks According to the findings of the present study, it could be hypothesized that a standardization of farm management practices through a common rearing program could normalize the cecum bacterial community composition.
Results pertaining to the detection of the C. In healthy broiler chickens, since the cecum is the main colonization site for C. This low prevalence suggests that the number of C. Interestingly, as the C. In conclusion, results from the current study showed that moving to a drug-free program over a months period does not seem to be sufficient to reduce the abundance of many antibiotic resistance-encoding genes, while the judicious use of antibiotics over many years seems to do so.
The short-term antibiotic withdrawal and the long-term judicious use strategy changed the bird intestinal microbiota composition, where Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae families were negatively impacted, which could be correlated with negative performances and the increase in C.
Results also illustrated that adopting a conventional rearing program on commercial broiler chicken farms selected specific antibiotic resistance-encoding genes in many barns.
This study highlights the potential impacts of different rearing programs in poultry production and will help develop future policies by guiding science-based decisions on how the use of antibiotics in broiler chicken production should be reduced while maintaining production performance.
Reducing antibiotics and using them solely as a therapeutic option could help preserve the effectiveness of these precious tools by contributing to curb the global antibiotic resistance problem.

Conclusions: The results suggest that with good communication between patients, families, and medical staff, withdrawal of antibiotics should be considered if signs of death appear, in order to avoid unnecessary risks.
The possible benefit of prolonged survival should be in line with the goal of care, and also take into account preparing the patient for a dignified death. Wise R. Hart T. Streulens M. Helmuth R. Sprenger M. Wright M. Loeffler Peltier G. Yazdankhah S. Scheie A. Lunestad B-T. Heir E.
