Exploring the Microbial Flora Associated with Penaeidae Shrimp Habitats Along the Northeastern Mediterranean Coast of Egypt.

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
Shrimp is one of Egypt’s most widely consumed and economically valuable seafoods; however, it is vulnerable to various microorganisms. This study identifies the bacterial and yeast communities associated with wild and farmed Penaeidae shrimp from El-Deeba Triangle (Lake Manzala) along Egypt’s Mediterranean coast. Seasonal samples (2022–2023) of shrimp and surrounding water were collected from three sites in triplicate and processed for microbial isolation using baiting and direct plating on multiple culture media. Isolates were identified based on macro- and microscopic morphology and further confirmed using the VITEK® 2 system. A total of eight bacterial and eight yeast isolates were recovered and characterized. Bacteria included both Gram-positive and Gram-negative species, comprising shrimp pathogens with antibiotic tolerance (Staphylococcus equorum, Pseudomonas putida, and Aeromonas salmonicida), opportunistic pathogens (Acinetobacter lwoffii and Acinetobacter baumannii), and potential probiotics (Bacillus clausii and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens). Yeast isolates ranged from harmful opportunistic pathogens (Candida tropicalis and Candida parapsilosis), to less virulent pathogens (Cryptococcus laurentii and Cryptococcus uniguttulatus), and nonpathogenic environmental yeasts (Hortaea werneckii and Knufia mediterranea). Marked site‐specific variation in microbial abundance and diversity was observed (p < 0.05), reflecting local environmental and aquaculture conditions. Bacterial isolates were most prevalent in summer and at farm sites, whearas yeasts predominated in spring and were more common at the Lake site. This study provides the first combined characterization of bacterial and yeast flora associated with Penaeidae shrimp from wild and farmed habitats of the Egyptian Mediterranean coast, contributing to a broader understanding of shrimp-associated microbiota relevant to aquaculture health management.
