Evaluating the Role of Wastewaters as Reservoirs of Antibiotic-Resistant ESKAPEE Bacteria Using Phenotypic and Molecular Methods.

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
Introduction: Wastewaters carrying thousands of human specimens from the community and representing the diversity of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) directly from the community mirror the extent of AR spread in the community and environment. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and distribution of antibiotic-resistant ESKAPEE bacteria in the community versus clinical settings through monitoring nonclinical and clinical wastewaters. Methodology: Seven wastewater samples were collected from different environmental sources. Isolates were obtained on general and selective media, biochemically characterized and antimicrobial-susceptibility tests performed by disk diffusion against 13 antibiotics according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) guidelines using MastDisc disk cartridges, and 16S rRNA metagenomic analysis was performed for two water samples. Results: Of 43 isolates, all representatives of the ESKAPEE group were recovered from clinical wastewaters, but Gram-positive cocci were not obtained from nonclinical wastewaters. The most predominant isolate was Conclusion: Wastewaters are significant carriers of drug-resistant ESKAPEE bacteria and play an important role in their dissemination. This study endorses the periodic surveillance of water systems to evaluate the presence and burden of antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
