Antimicrobial resistance and molecular characterization of blaCTX-M-producing Escherichia coli isolated from broiler chickens in Peru.
Article in PloS one, 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
The misuse and overuse of antimicrobials in humans and animals contribute to the selection and dissemination of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria. In animal production systems, antimicrobial use is a key driver of the emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria across humans, animals, and the environment within a One Health framework. A total of 300 cloacal swabs were collected from apparently healthy broiler chickens at two poultry collection centers in Lima, Peru. ESBL-producing Escherichia coli were isolated on CHROMagar™ ESBL and identified by conventional biochemical tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the disk diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines, and ESBL production was phenotypically confirmed. CTX-M groups were detected by qPCR, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on selected isolates. Seventy-nine ESBL-producing E. coli isolates were recovered (26.3%; 95% CI: 21.4-31.6). All isolates exhibited multidrug-resistant phenotypes. CTX-M group 1 was detected in 87.3% of isolates and group 9 in 12.7%. WGS analysis identified blaCTX-M-55, blaCTX-M-65, and blaCTX-M-3 distributed across multiple sequence types. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of both closely related clonal clusters and genetically diverse isolates. These findings suggest that poultry production systems may serve as potential reservoirs of multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing E. coli in Peru. Given the study design and limited genomic sampling, the results should be interpreted as preliminary and highlight the need for expanded surveillance within a One Health framework.
