  2. BSpearman rank correlation, with a Bonferroni correction (α/14) to adjust for multiple comparisons, was used to measure the strength and direction of the relationships between individual antimicrobials with respect to resistance of E. coli at the isolate-level (chicken isolates only). Only statistically significant (P ≤ 0.0036) correlations are shown
