Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Artifact Description
The incidence of antibiotic resistance genes near wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) was assessed. Water and sediment samples were collected from streams near WWTPs associated with small communities in south-central Kentucky. Samples were collected downstream, at the effluent of, and upstream from nine different WWTPs. The DNA was isolated using MOBIO kits. Genes for antibiotic resistance were then amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and visualized using agarose electrophoresis. Evidence for the tetA, tetB, and tetX genes were found in several WWTP, and was found upstream, downstream, and at the effluent.
