Identification of a novel aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferase gene in Morganella morganii from farm sewage.

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
backgroundAminoglycosides are important broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. When combined with β-lactam drugs, these agents can be used to treat severe infections such as those causing sepsis. Identifying additional resistance mechanisms will guarantee the successful application of aminoglycoside agents in clinical practice.
methodsThe isolate Morganella morganii A19 was obtained from a sewage sample from an animal farm by means of agar plate streaking. The agar dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the antimicrobial agents. Cloning of the predicted resistance gene was conducted, and its resistance function was assessed through MIC testing. The protein was expressed in E. coli, and the kinetic parameters were quantified. The analysis of novel resistance gene-related sequences, including their structures and evolutionary relationships, was performed using bioinformatic tools.
resultsIn Morganella morganii A19, a newly discovered chromosome-encoded aminoglycoside resistance gene named aadA37 was identified and characterized. The protein AadA37 exhibited the highest amino acid identity (57.14%) with the functionally characterized aminoglycoside adenylyltransferase AadA33. aadA37 confers resistance to spectinomycin, streptomycin and ribostamycin, and enzyme kinetic analysis also demonstrated that it had adenosine transfer activities against spectinomycin and streptomycin, with k
conclusionA novel aminoglycoside resistance gene was identified from an environmental bacterium and characterized in this work. Identifying new resistance mechanisms will aid in the effective clinical use of antimicrobial agents for treating infectious diseases caused by pathogens harboring the same resistance genes.
