Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in dromedary camels: antimicrobial resistance in arid and semi-arid tropical regions.
Review in Tropical animal health and production, 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 is a growing global health concern that threatens animal productivity, food safety, and the sustainability of livestock systems. This narrative review synthesizes available evidence on extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL E. coli) in camel populations to inform One Health surveillance and policy development. Camels, vital for food security and livelihood resilience in arid and semi-arid regions, have recently been identified as potential reservoirs of ESBL E. coli, yet their role in antimicrobial resistance ecology remains insufficiently understood. We reviewed published literature from 2015 to 2025 across major scientific databases and institutional reports, identifying studies that describe ESBL E. coli occurrence, molecular characteristics, and transmission pathways in camel systems. Evidence from multiple regions confirms the presence of ESBL E. coli in camel populations, with CTX-M, TEM, and SHV gene families predominating. However, prevalence estimates vary due to methodological heterogeneity, and substantial gaps remain concerning longitudinal patterns, zoonotic linkages, and environmental persistence. This review integrates microbiological, ecological, and policy perspectives to highlight the importance of species-inclusive surveillance, targeted veterinary stewardship, and environmentally adaptive management. Strengthening genomic monitoring and participatory community engagement could enhance early detection, mitigate environmental contamination, and reinforce resilience of tropical livestock systems against antimicrobial resistance threats.
