Antimicrobial resistance and genomic characteristics of nontyphoidal Salmonella strains from diarrheal patients in Shandong, China.

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
backgroundNontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) is a major cause of foodborne illness worldwide. This study aimed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibilities of clinical NTS isolates from Shandong, China, and to characterize the genomic determinants of antimicrobial resistance and virulence genotypes using whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
methodsA total of 125 NTS strains were isolated and identified from diarrhea patients in Shandong, China. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was performed for all isolates. Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), virulence factor genes (VFGs), and plasmid replicons, serotypes, sequence types (STs) were determined through WGS analysis.
resultsThe NTS isolates in this study showed high resistance to ampicillin (AMP, 73.6%), tetracycline (TET, 62.4%), and chloramphenicol (CHL, 56.8%), among them the multidrug resistance (MDR) rate was 59.2%. In total, 28 serotypes, and 30 STs were identified, with ST34 serotype 1,4,[5],12:i:- being the most prevalent. Genomic analysis revealed 63 ARGs and 171 VFGs across all isolates. Type VI secretion system-associated genes were identified in Salmonella Liverpool (S. Liverpool). Plasmid replicons, especially Col(pHAD28), pKPC-CAV1321, and IncHI2, were more frequently present among MDR isolates. Among dominant serotypes, S. Enteritidis carried the highest number of VFGs but relatively few ARGs compared with other dominant serotypes.
conclusionThese findings indicate a substantial MDR burden and diverse genomic features among clinical NTS isolates in Shandong, China. The deep understanding of resistance and virulence characteristics from NTS genome can be quite supportive for continuous surveillance and antimicrobial stewardship.
