TABLE 3.
Pathogen | Bacteroidales marker | Lower 95% CI of OR | OR | Upper 95% CI of OR | P valueb |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Salmonella spp. | Ruminant | 1.00 | 6.37 | 40.67 | 0.050 |
Wildlife | 0.45 | 2.82 | 17.47 | 0.267 | |
Arcobacter spp. | Ruminant | 0.08 | 0.28 | 0.95 | 0.041* |
Wildlife | 0.76 | 5.94 | 46.61 | 0.090 | |
Norovirus GII | Ruminant | 1.07 | 4.71 | 20.85 | 0.041* |
Adjusted norovirus GIIc | Wildlife | 0.01 | 0.17 | 3.01 | 0.228 |
Note that other pathogens did not have enough data support and/or had confidence intervals that straddled the value of 1 and therefore are not presented here. Only ruminant and wildlife markers were used here since they were deemed more directly influenced by CTD practices in these experimental watersheds.
*, result considered significant due to the confidence interval not bracketing unity and P < 0.05.
Here we added 0.5 within cells of the 2-by-2 matrix to perform OR and OR CI calculation due to a “zero” cell (i.e., there were no positive samples for both norovirus GII and Bacteroidales wildlife markers at the same site and time of sample).
