TABLE A1.
Number of distinct C. coli multi‐locus sequence types (STs) and isolates from humans and food sources
| Origin | STs | Isolates | Uniquea STs (%) | Isolates from Uniquea STs (%) | STs without cases (%) | Isolates from STs without cases (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Human | 31 | 125 | 18 (58) | 19 (15) | N/A | N/A |
| Chicken | 40 | 283 | 29 (73) | 101 (36) | 28 (70) | 73 (26) |
| Pig | 23 | 28 | 15 (65) | 18 (64) | 19 (83) | 23 (82) |
| Ruminant | 7 | 16 | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) |
Note: Percentages, where given, denote of the fraction of all C. coli STs/isolates with the same source (humans, chicken, pig, or ruminant).
a
Unique types for sources are types that were found in that source and no other source (but potentially in humans), while unique types for humans are those found in cases but not in any of the three sources.
