Molecular characterization of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli from abattoir and live bird market wastewaters in Kaduna State, Nigeria.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2026. 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
backgroundThe increasing misuse and overuse of antibiotics in livestock have been a serious challenge, leading to the spread of drug-resistant pathogens, especially extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli which is a particular concern in developing countries. This study investigated the occurrence, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and ESBL gene profiles of E. coli isolated from abattoir and live-bird market wastewater in Kaduna State, Nigeria. A total of 48 wastewater samples were collected from eight sites across Kaduna North and South. Presumptive E. coli species were isolated using standard microbiological methods and subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing, phenotypic ESBL confirmation, and molecular detection of the ESBL gene.
resultsTwenty-three E. coli isolates were recovered, comprising 13 (56.5%) from live bird markets and 10 (43.5%) from abattoirs. All isolates exhibited multidrug resistance, with multiple antibiotic resistance indices exceeding 0.2. Phenotypic testing confirmed ESBL production in all isolates. Four live bird market isolates and two abattoir isolates had at least one ESBL gene (TEM, SHV, and CTX-M). Among the ten isolates examined, blaTEM was the most common gene (60%), and two isolates harbored multiple ESBL genes. TEM, SHV, and CTX-M genes were present in isolate KKA1b (abattoir source), whereas TEM and CTX-M genes were present in isolate CLB3a (live bird market source).
conclusionsThese findings demonstrate that abattoir and live bird market wastewaters in Kaduna State serve as important environmental reservoirs of multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing E. coli, underscoring the need for improved waste management practices and continuous antimicrobial resistance surveillance.
