Antimicrobial resistance and molecular epidemiology of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from bovine mastitis in seven provinces in China.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe bovine mastitis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) infection, lead to high death rate and severe economic loss. Currently, the regional epidemiological characteristics of K. pneumoniae in China are still unclear, especially the surveillance data on prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing K. pneumoniae in the cow are still limited. In this study, the epidemiology of K. pneumoniae from mastitis-infected cows in large-scale dairy farms in China were investigated.
methodsA total of 108 isolates of K. pneumoniae were isolated from 763 mastitis-associated milk samples collected from dairy farms in Jiangsu, Anhui, Hebei, Fujian, Guangdong, Shanxi and Zhejiang provinces in China. The whole genomes of 108 strains of K. pneumoniae were sequenced to identify their phylogenetic relationships, antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes. The antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by micro-broth dilution method according to the Clinical Laboratory and Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines M100-S31.
resultsThe K. pneumoniae isolates were divided into 42 different sequence types (STs) and 43 K Locus (KL) types. No dominant ST and KL were identified in this study, reflecting the great genetic divergence in the K. pneumoniae population. While ST1049 and KL5 were relatively prevalent, potentially indicating a robust transmission capability. Among the 78 virulence genes identified, eight isolates carried the aerobactin-encoding gene cluster iucABCD/iutA (iuc), which might be hypervirulent strains. The K. pneumoniae isolates showed variable resistance levels to cefotaxime, ceftiofur, cephalexin, ceftazidime, meropenem, florfenicol, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, amikacin, gentamicin, streptomycin and tetracycline, while sensitive to ciprofloxacin, polymyxin B or tigecycline. A total of 73 kinds of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes were identified, and 28 strains were determined to be ESBL-producing bacteria. The pKP83 plasmid 2, which carried bla
conclusionsIt is necessary to conduct the regular monitoring of the antibiotic resistance of clinical K. pneumoniae from bovine mastitis, in order to prevent and control the transmission of K. pneumoniae along the food chain.
