NNPD status associated with selected bacteria and relevant variables
| ln(variable) | Estimate | 95% confidence interval | p- value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intercept | −0.98 | [−3.10,1.13] | - |
| Species E. coli | −0.11 | [−0.42,0.65] | - |
| Genus Enterococcus | 0.34 | [0.09,0.59] | 0.009 |
| Enterococcus: E. coli | −0.12 | [−0.23,-0.02] | 0.02 |
| Beta- and Gammaproteobacteria: colon | 0.82 | [0.33,1.30] | 0.001 |
| Gilt | 3.23 | [1.99,4.46] | <0.0001 |
Of the following variables tested, genus Enterococcus, class Beta- and Gammaproteobacteria, family Enterobacteriaceae, species Escherichia coli, Gut section, Gilt, and Age, as well as possible interactions between bacteria, NNPD was found to be significantly related to the variables mentioned below. Numbers are transformed with the natural logarithm (ln). The odds ratio can be calculated as the exponentiated estimate.
