1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria. This study aimed to in silico analyze the presence of bacteriocin gene clusters (BGCs) among the genomes of 22 commensal Staphylococcus isolates from different origins (environment/human/food/pet/wild animals) previously identified as bacteriocin producers. The resistome and plasmidome were studied in all isolates. Five types of BGC were detected in 18 genomes of the 22 bacteriocin-producing staphylococci included in this study: class I (Lanthipeptides), class II, circular bacteriocins, the non-ribosomal-peptide lugdunin and the thiopeptide micrococcin P1 (MP1). A high frequency of lanthipeptides was detected in this collection: BGC variants of BSA, bacCH91, and epilancin15X were identified in two Staphylococcus aureus and one Staphylococcus warneri isolates from food and wild animals. Moreover, two potentially new lanthipeptide-like BGCs with no identity to database entries were found in Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus simulans from food and wild animal, respectively. Interestingly, four isolates (one S. aureus and one Staphylococcus hominis, environmental origin; two Staphylococcus sciuri, food) carried the MP1 BGC with differences to those previously described. On the other hand, seven of the 22 genomes (~32%) lacked known genes related with antibiotic or disinfectant-acquired resistance mechanisms. Moreover, the potential carriage of plasmids was evaluated, and several Rep-proteins were identified (~73% of strains). In conclusion, a wide variety of BGCs has been observed among the 22 genomes, and an interesting relationship between related Staphylococcus species and the type of bacteriocin has been revealed. Therefore, bacteriocin-producing Staphylococcus and especially coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) can be considered good candidates as a source of novel bacteriocins.
