a
Two strains were serotyped as A/G or O/Y serogroups.
b
P < 0.001 (compared to the enteritis isolates; odds ratio [OR], 30.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 17.9 to 52.4).
c
P < 0.001 (compared to the enteritis isolates; OR, 4.2; 95% CI, 1.9 to 9.1).
d
P < 0.001 (compared to the enteritis isolates; OR, 4.3; 95% CI, 1.9 to 9.5).
