Distribution of targets found in diarrheal stool samples. We enumerated the total number of times each enteropathogen received a probable or less-likely call. The subset of probable targets at the highest quantity were termed dominant. To not overrepresent a diarrheal sample that had multiple pathogens over another that had few, every diarrheal episode was permitted a total of 1.0 dominant, 1.0 probable, and 1.0 less-likely pathogen; thus, the sum of all columns is approximately 1260 (420 diarrheal episodes × 3.0). Abbreviations: COWP, Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein; EAEC, enteroaggregative E. coli; EHEC, enterohemorrhagic E. coli; EIEC, enteroinvasive E. coli; EPEC, enteropathogenic E. coli; ETEC, enterotoxigenic E. coli; RdRp, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase; rRNA, ribosomal RNA; ssrRNA, small-subunit rRNA; STEC, Shiga toxin–producing E. coli.
