Anti-Klebsiella pneumoniae activity of secondary metabolism of Achromobacter from the intestine of Periplaneta americana.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundKlebsiella pneumoniae is one of the main pathogens of clinical isolation and nosocomial infections, as K. pneumoniae show broad-spectrum resistance to β-lactam and carbapenem antibiotics. It is emerging clinical need for a safe and effective drug to anti-K. pneumoniae. At present, Achromobacter mainly focused on its degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, assisting insects to decompose, degrade heavy metals and utilize organic matter, but there were few reports on the antibacterial activity of the secondary metabolites of Achromobacter.
resultsIn this study, a strain WA5-4-31 from the intestinal tract of Periplaneta americana exhibited strong activity against K. Pneumoniae through preliminary screening. The strain was determined to be Achromobacter sp. through the morphological characteristics, genotyping and phylogenetic tree analysis, which is homologous to Achromobacter ruhlandii by 99%, its accession numbe in GenBank at National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is MN007235, and its deposit number was GDMCC NO.1.2520. Six compounds (Actinomycin D, Actinomycin X2, Collismycin A, Citrinin, Neoechinulin A and Cytochalasin E) were isolated and determined by activity tracking, chemical separation, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Among them, Actinomycin D, Actinomycin X2, Collismycin A, Citrinin and Cytochalasin E showed a good effect on anti-K. pneumoniae, with MIC values of 16-64 µg/mL.
conclusionsThe study reported Achromobacter, which was from the intestinal tract of Periplaneta americana with the activity against K. Pneumoniae, can produce antibacterial compounds for the first time. It lays the foundation for development of secondary metabolites of insect intestinal microorganisms.
