Antimicrobial resistance in plant-associated microbial communities: mechanisms, ecology, and one health implications.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 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
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a major global challenge threatening human, animal, plant and the environment health. Although AMR has been extensively studied in clinical and veterinary sectors, its emergence and dissemination in plant-based agricultural systems remains comparatively underexplored despite of the widespread use of antibiotics, fungicides and other antimicrobial compounds in crop production. These practices exerts selective pressure on plant associated microbial communities, promoting the evolution and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) across interconnected environmental compartments including soil, water, plants and food systems highlighting the importance of one health. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the occurrence, mechanisms and ecological drivers of AMR in plant associated microbial communities. It discusses resistance mechanism in bacterial and fungal plant pathogens, the role of soil, rhizosphere, and phyllosphere microbiomes as reservoirs and transmission hubs for ARGs and evidence from global and regional studies illustrating the complexity of AMR in agricultural ecosystems. The review also evaluates emerging sustainable alternatives to conventional antimicrobial use including phage therapy, microbiome engineering, RNA-based biopesticides, CRISPR-based technologies, and nanotechnology based approaches, which have the potential to reduce chemical reliance and mitigate selection pressure for resistance. Overall, integrating plant health into one health governance frameworks, strengthening AMR surveillance in agricultural systems, and promoting sustainable disease management strategies are essential for limiting the spread of resistance and safeguarding agricultural productivity, ecosystem integrity and public health.
