Figure 1.

Semi-quantitative pathogen load in participant stool. Measured by multiplex qPCR, enteric pathogen burden is represented as quantification PCR cycles, with limit of detection at 35 cycles.³⁴ (a) Quantification cycle of pathogen with each dot represents one participant and mean is shown with the horizontal red line. Multiple T-tests (Mann-Whitney), all q values >0·05 after multiple comparisons FDR. (b) Table of pathogen detection in percentage of participants. EAEC: Enteroaggregative E. coli, ETEC: Enterotoxigenic E. coli, C. jejuni: Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli: Campylobacter coli, V. cholerae: Vibrio cholerae, Cryptosp.: Cryptosporidium. Infants were defined as ≤12 months of age, and young children were defined as 12–59 months of age.
