Poultry Proteus mirabilis in selected areas of Hunan, China: Resistance profiles and virulence genes.
Article in Poultry science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis) is a Gram-negative, motile opportunistic pathogen with a broad host range. It causes both community- and hospital-acquired infections and is increasingly detected in poultry and food chains, raising food-safety concerns. This study systematically evaluated the prevalence, antimicrobial-susceptibility profiles, and the distribution of resistance genes, virulence-associated genes (VAGs), and metal-tolerance genes in chicken-derived P. mirabilis in Hunan Province. From June 2022 to January 2025, 1,679 chicken cloacal swabs were collected in Hunan; 192 P. mirabilis isolates were recovered (prevalence 11.44%). Antimicrobial-susceptibility testing (AST) was performed on a simple random sample of 118 isolates (118/192, 61.5%) using CLSI-recommended disk diffusion. The results showed that the MDR rate was 72.0% (85/118). Resistance was most frequent to Trimethoprim - Sulfamethoxazole (SXT) (81.4%), Ampicillin (AMP) (79.7%), Ciprofloxacin (CIP) (78.0%), and Gentamicin (GEN) (75.4%), followed by Neomycin (NEO) (63.6%) and Chloramphenicol (CHL) (61.0%). Carbapenem resistance was detected in a subset of isolates, including meropenem (MEM) (6.8%) and imipenem (IPM) (11.0%). Resistance-gene screening identified high prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants qnrA 58.9% (113/192) and aac(6')-Ib-cr 59.9% (115/192). The carbapenemase gene blaNDM-1 was detected in 10.4% (20/192) of isolates, and 24.0% (46/192) were positive for vanA. Markers associated with class 1 integrons, including qacEΔ1 and the integrase intI1, were detected in 71.9% and 49.5% of isolates, respectively. Furthermore, copper-tolerance genes copB and pcoA were detected in 49.5% and 10.4% of isolates, respectively. In summary, poultry-derived P. mirabilis in Hunan demonstrated high MDR prevalence and frequent carriage of resistance-, virulence-, and environment-related markers. Our findings enrich the epidemiological data on Proteus mirabilis at the farm level and provide scientific guidance for the prevention and control of this disease.
