Incidence of Streptococcus spp. and whole genome sequencing of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from cow's milk samples in Brazil.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 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
This study assessed the occurrence of Streptococcus spp. in milk samples from cows with visible clinical mastitis signs and from cows with high (≥ 200,000 cells/mL) or low (< 200,000 cells/mL) somatic cell counts (SCC) across five Brazilian regions. Antimicrobial resistance and virulence-associated genes were investigated using phenotypic assays and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Among 1,447 milk samples, Streptococcus agalactiae was the predominant species, followed by Streptococcus uberis and Streptococcus dysgalactiae, with most isolates associated with high SCC samples. Positive samples presented elevated SCC values, reinforcing the association between Streptococcus spp. and udder inflammation. High resistance rates to streptomycin and tetracycline were observed, and multidrug resistance was detected in one-third of the isolates. Genomic analysis of S. agalactiae identified two sequence types (ST-67 and ST-103), resistance genes associated with aminoglycoside, tetracycline, and macrolide resistance, and a broad repertoire of virulence-related genes. S. agalactiae isolates were detected exclusively in samples from Paraíba, whereas S. uberis was identified across all evaluated regions, suggesting distinct epidemiological patterns among Streptococcus species. Overall, these findings highlight the epidemiological relevance, antimicrobial resistance potential, and virulence-associated characteristics of Streptococcus spp. involved in bovine mastitis in Brazil, reinforcing the importance of continuous surveillance and improved mastitis control strategies in dairy herds.
