Occurrence of antimicrobial resistance genes sul and dfrA12 in hospital environmental isolates of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility and resistant determinants of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica in a Beijing hospital. Four hundred and eighty-seven samples from medical devices, hospital surfaces and medical staff hands were collected. In total, 26 E. meningoseptica isolates were obtained. The sinks, faucets, and drains accounted for more than half of the total number of isolates recovered. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that 24 isolates were resistant to one or more antibiotics. All strains were susceptible to piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin. Although the trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole has previously been shown to exhibit good activity against E. meningoseptica, in our study 15 strains were resistant to it. We detected trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole resistance determinants using PCR; six isolates possessed the sulI gene and four possessed the sulII gene, whilst the dfrA12 gene was detected in only one of them. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis showed 9 distinct types and one dominant pattern with 12 strains was found. Our data indicate that antimicrobial resistant E. meningoseptica strains exist in the hospital environment and susceptibility testing revealed that vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam was the most effective antibiotics. These results have practical significance for treatment of E. meningoseptica infection.
