Abstract

To find out whether food-producing animals (FPA) are a source of extraintestinal expanded-spectrum-cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli (ESCR-EC) infections in humans, MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were systematically reviewed. Thirty-four original, peer-reviewed publications were identified for inclusion. Six molecular epidemiology studies supported the transfer of resistance via whole bacterium transmission (WBT), which was best characterized amongst poultry in The Netherlands. Thirteen molecular epidemiology studies supported transmission of resistance via mobile genetic elements (MGE), which demonstrated greater diversity of geography and host FPA. Seventeen molecular epidemiology studies did not support WBT and two did not support MGE-mediated transmission. Four observational epidemiology studies were consistent with zoonotic transmission. Overall, there is evidence that a proportion of human extraintestinal ESCR-EC infections originate from FPA. Poultry in particular is probably a source, but the quantitative and geographical extent of the problem is unclear and requires further investigation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 20. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 April 2023.
All research outputs
#1,792,431
of 25,250,629 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#3,120
of 16,759 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#19,578
of 262,267 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#31
of 256 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,250,629 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 16,759 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 31.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 262,267 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 256 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
