Distribution of cephalosporin-resistant Campylobacter species isolated from meat sold in Abakaliki, Nigeria.

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
Background: Campylobacter species have been at the forefront of the field as etiologic agents of foodborne gastroenteritis. The importance of animal proteins, especially contaminated meat, in the transmission of Campylobacteriosis cannot be overstated. Antimicrobial resistance by Campylobacter species is imminent, which underscores the importance of this study. Aim: This study aimed to determine the antibiograms of Campylobacter species isolated from various meat samples sold in Abakaliki to select Cephalosporin antibiotics. Methods: We purchased 100 samples of various meat, Chevon (25), Pork (25), Beef (25), and Chicken (25) from four different market locations in Abakaliki. Culture and bacterial isolation were aseptically performed using standard bacteriological techniques. Campylobacter isolates obtained were confirmed using standard biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility was assessed using Kirby Bauer's disc diffusion method. The selected cephalosporins used in this study included cefoxitin, ceftriazone, and cefepime. Aztreonam was used as a tangential control. Results: Our results showed that 69.0% of Conclusion: The distribution of cephalosporin-resistant Campylobacter is high and represents a public health concern. More caution with hygiene and the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry is highly advocated.
