Identification of metallo-β-lactamases and AmpC production among Escherichia coli strains isolated from hemodialysis patients with urinary tract infection.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) and AmpC β-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli isolates obtained from hemodialysis (HD) patients with urinary tract infections (UTI). METHODS AND
resultsA total of 257 HD patients with UTI were included in this study, from which 47 E. coli isolates were collected. Antibiotic susceptibility was tested by disc diffusion method. MBLs and AmpC production were phenotypically detected by imipenem-ethylenediaminetetracetate and cefoxitin/boronic acid assays, respectively. The presence of MBLs and AmpC genes was examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Fosfomycin and ampicillin were the most and the least effective antibiotics against E. coli isolates, respectively. Moreover, 61.7% (29/47) of E. coli isolates were multidrug-resistant with seven different antibiotypes. Antibiotype V (AMP-CIP-IMP-MEM-CPD-CRO-CTX-GEN-LEV-SXT-TOB) was the most prevalent profile. Besides, 24 (51.1%) isolates were simultaneously resistant to imipenem and meropenem. Phenotypic assay showed MBL production in 16 (66.7%) of the 24 carbapenem-resistant E. coli isolates. The distribution of MBL genes in carbapenem-resistant E. coli was as follows: bla
conclusionsThe emergence of MBL and AmpC coproducing E. coli isolates calls for an urgent surveillance program for timely diagnosis and screening of these genes in our healthcare systems.
