Final multivariate model presenting the factors associated with the change of concentration of Escherichia coli (log10 MPN E. coli/g) in stored food samples
| Multivariate model for households with flies (N = 68) | Multivariate model for all households (N = 182) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean log10 MPN E. coli change (95% CI) | Mean log10 MPN E. coli change (95% CI) | ||
| Log10 MPN E. coli in flies | 0.31 (0.07, 0.55) | Fly density (number of flies/household) | 0.05 (0.01, 0.10) |
| Temperature of food storage area (°C) | 0.07 (0.01, 0.13) | Temperature of food storage area (°C) | 0.07 (0.04, 0.10) |
CI = confidence interval; MPN = most probable number.
The estimations were generated using the generalized linear model.
