Genomic characterization of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates from hospital wastewater in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundHospital wastewater is a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), yet the genetic diversity and resistance mechanisms of environmental Escherichia coli in such settings remain underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the genomic characteristics, resistance profiles, and virulence potential of E. coli isolates recovered from a hospital wastewater in Jakarta, Indonesia. METHODS AND
resultsSix Escherichia coli isolates from hospital wastewater were sequenced using short-read next-generation sequencing (NGS). Raw reads were quality-checked and assembled with SPAdes, with five genomes retained for downstream analysis. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes were identified using Staramr and the CARD database, while virulence factors were predicted using Abricate against the Virulence Factors Database (VFDB). Plasmid replicons were detected with PlasmidFinder. Phylogroup assignment followed the Clermont typing method, and phylogenetic analysis was conducted using a neighbor-joining tree based on core genome MLST (cgMLST) generated with chewBBACA v3.3.10. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) revealed five distinct sequence types (ST744, ST156, ST1196, ST38, and ST10) across three phylogroups (A, B1, and D). A total of 57 AMR genes were detected, including blaCTX-M-15, blaCMY-2, and blaOXA-1 along with plasmid-mediated and chromosomal mutations conferring resistance to fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and tetracyclines.
conclusionsE. coli from hospital wastewater in Jakarta exhibited high genomic diversity, multidrug resistance, and variable virulence profiles. The findings support the role of untreated hospital effluents as a hotspot for AMR emergence and horizontal gene transfer. This showed the need for routine environmental surveillance to mitigate the public health risks associated with environmental reservoirs of resistant pathogens.
