Identification of poultry commensal bacteria with the ability to inhibit the growth of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in co-culture.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. 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 widespread increase of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in agriculture has led to an interest in improving the competitive exclusion ability of the microbiota in livestock through the application of probiotics. In this study, we examined a collection of gram-negative bacteria isolated from healthy chickens for their ability to inhibit the growth of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
methodsTwenty-five bacteria isolated from healthy chickens were mixed at a 1:1 or a 10:1 ratio with S. enterica ser. Typhimurium and grown overnight in co-culture on a solid media that contained bile salt. The S. enterica in each co-culture was quantified using on Salmonella Shigella Agar (SSA) to determine which isolates can inhibit the growth of S. enterica in vitro. Isolates that showed inhibitory action against S. enterica ser. Typhimurium were further analyzed by whole genome sequencing (WGS) to identify potential mechanisms. The WGS analysis, included using a variety of tools to identify potential mechanisms of S. enterica ser. Typhimurium antagonism.
resultThree bacterial isolates: Alcaligenes faecalis Ae-14, Citrobacter braakii J-D0-20, and Escherichia ruysiae J-D0-44 significantly reduced the growth of S. enterica ser. Typhimurium in co-culture. Growth inhibition was most pronounced during the exponential growth phase. Sequence analysis revealed that the potential mechanisms of S. enterica ser. Typhimurium inhibition by C. braakii J-D0-20 and E.ruysiae J-D0-44 could be through T6SS-mediated competition, bacteriocin (carocin D) production, having a similar quorum sensing system, or by competition for similar nutrients. The potential antagonistic mechanisms for A. faecalis Ae-14 were unclear.
conclusionSome bacteria, found naturally in the fecal material of healthy chickens, are capable inhibiting the growth of S. enterica ser. Typhimurium in co-culture and should be further investigated as potential probiotic prophylactics to provide protection against S. enterica ser. Typhimurium infections.
