Molecular epidemiology and environmental persistence of methicillin-resistant coagulase-positive
Article in Veterinary world, 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
Background and Aim: Methicillin-resistant coagulase-positive Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 216 environmental samples, 23 veterinary staff, and 14 canine patients. Isolates were identified using biochemical tests, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Methicillin resistance was confirmed by Results: Among 88 coagulase-positive isolates, 62 (70.5%) were methicillin resistant, predominantly MRSP (91.9%), followed by MRSC (8.1%) and MRSA (1.6%). Floors represented the principal environmental reservoir, with significantly higher contamination odds than medical instruments (adjusted odds ratios [AOR] = 0.32; 95% confidence interval = 0.12-0.86; p = 0.024). The dermatological unit showed a six-fold higher risk of MRCoPS contamination than the medicine unit (AOR = 5.86; p = 0.027). All MRSC isolates carried SCC Conclusion: MRCoPS, particularly MRSP, were widely distributed and persistent in the VTH-CU environment, despite routine cleaning. The clonal overlap among environmental and canine isolates highlights potential cross-contamination within the hospital. Strengthened disinfection protocols, antimicrobial stewardship programs, and regular environmental surveillance are imperative to mitigate the spread of multidrug-resistant staphylococci. This study highlights the importance of integrating environmental, animal, and human infection control practices in veterinary facilities within the context of One Health.
