Since this was a hypothesis-generating study, two thresholds were used for interpreting the results of the GLMMs. Specifically, P< 0.05 indicated that likelihood of microbial target detection and the factor were significantly associated, while a 0.05 ≤P<0.10 indicated the presence of a potential relationship that warrants investigation in future studies.

b

CI, Confidence interval.

c

IDW, Inverse distance weighted.

d

The odds ratio was >0.000 but <0.001.

e

This confidence interval is wide due to sparse data bias, which is a product of the low prevalence of L. monocytogenes (10%; 20/196) and of watersheds with campgrounds upstream of the sampling site (22%; 16/71); 54% of L. monocytogenes-positive samples were collected from watersheds with campgrounds upstream.
