Genetic insights into antimicrobial resistance and virulence characteristics of Salmonella enterica isolated from Nile tilapia sourced from retail markets in Thailand.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAntimicrobial-resistant Salmonella enterica in aquaculture represents a significant public health concern due to its potential transmission through the food chain. Despite these concerns, there is a notable lack of comprehensive genomic characterization of S. enterica isolates from Nile tilapia in Thailand. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles, and genetic diversity of S. enterica isolated from retail-sourced Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) between May and October 2023.
methodsA total of 714 Nile tilapia specimens comprising liver, kidney, meat, gill, mucus, lung, and intestine tissues were collected from fish purchased at retail markets in Thailand. Salmonella isolation and identification were performed using standard microbiological methods following ISO 6579-1:2017, and serotyping was conducted using the Kauffmann-White scheme. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out using the agar dilution method in accordance with CLSI guidelines. The whole genome sequencing was performed on 14 multidrug-resistant isolates using Illumina short-read technology to characterize their genetic resistance and virulence profiles.
resultsThe prevalence of S. enterica was 15.4%, with the highest rates observed in gill (40.9%) and mucus (26.5%) samples. Thirty-five serovars were identified, with Escanaba, Kentucky, and Othmarschen being the most frequently detected. Resistance to oxytetracycline (33.6%), tetracycline (16.0%), and ampicillin (12.8%) were prevalent, and 19.2% of isolates exhibited multidrug resistance (MDR). Although extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolates accounted for only 2.4%, concerns persist regarding their increasing global prevalence. WGS of 14 MDR isolates identified over 20 resistance genes, including bla
conclusionsThese isolates were classified into nine sequence types (STs), several of which have been associated with human infections. The findings underscore the necessity of stringent antimicrobial regulations and improved aquaculture practices to mitigate AMR transmission and enhance food safety.
