TABLE 2.

Pairwise interpopulation FST values for E. coli bacteria from humans and livestock in two communities in rural western Uganda

Populationb FST (SE)a
Livestock in Bwindi Humans in Bwindi Livestock in Kibale
Livestock in Bwindi (n = 137)
Humans in Bwindi (n = 87) 0.027 (0.004)
Livestock in Kibale (n = 196) 0.027 (0.004) 0.050 (0.008)
4Humans in Kibale (n = 252) 0.040 (0.006) 0.053 (0.008) 0.011 (0.002)
a

Standard errors (in parentheses) were estimated using a bootstrap analysis with 1,000 replicates calculated with the computer program Arlequin (8). Each of the six FST values shown is statistically significantly different from the null expectation of no genetic difference between the populations (P < 0.01).

b

Sample sizes indicate numbers of bacterial isolates per population.
