Prevalence, antibacterial susceptibility, and virulence gene profiles of Arcobacter species isolated from seafood.

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
Arcobacter butzleri, an emerging foodborne zoonotic pathogen, is increasingly associated with gastrointestinal and systemic infections in humans, and with diarrhea, mastitis, and abortions in animals. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility, and virulence gene profiles of Arcobacter species isolated from seafood. A total of 560 samples were analyzed, including 300 fresh seafood samples (100 fresh/raw fish, 50 shrimp, 50 crabs, 50 oysters, and 50 lobsters) and 260 preserved seafood samples (70 smoked fish, 70 salted fish, 50 dried fish, and 70 frozen fish). Arcobacter spp. were isolated using an Arcobacter an enrichment and direct filtration method. Antibiotic susceptibility was assessed using the disk diffusion method following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. PCR was conducted to detect ten putative virulence genes and five resistance genes. Arcobacter spp. were detected in 21.43% (120/560) of the tested seafood samples, with the highest prevalence in fresh fish (42%) and oysters (40%). Among isolates, A. butzleri was predominant (14.82%), followed by A. cryaerophilus (6.25%) and A. skirrowii (0.36%). Virulence genes were present in 84.6% of A. butzleri and 73.5% of A. cryaerophilus isolates. Resistance genes were found in 82.7% and 67.6% of these species, respectively. Antibiotic resistance was highest in A. butzleri, particularly to vancomycin, cephalosporins, ciprofloxacin, and beta-lactams, while A. skirrowii showed minimal resistance. Most isolates remained sensitive to polymyxin-B, colistin, gentamicin, and carbapenems. The study finds high rates of contamination of fresh fish, smoked fish, salted fish, dried fish, frozen fish, oysters, crabs, lobster, and shrimp, indicating the potential role of Arcobacter spp. in causing infections.
