Giardia is associated with a reduction in Escherichia and enrichment of Prevotella among Peruvian children in the MAL-ED study. (A) Among all Peruvian participants in the MAL-ED study, Giardia is more frequently found in children with formed or soft stools than in children with liquid or watery stools (P = 0.002 by chi-squared test). (B) LEfSe graph showing the magnitude of enrichment for all taxa meeting the adjusted P value threshold of 0.05, comparing children with (red) and without (blue) Giardia infection. Only taxa with relative abundance of >1% across all samples were used in the analysis. (C) Boxplots showing the differences in relative abundance of Escherichia and Prevotella immediately before and after acquiring Giardia infection. (D) Boxplots showing that Giardia is associated with a reduction in Escherichia and enrichment of Prevotella among children with liquid or watery stools and (E) among children with formed or soft stools. All P values were adjusted using Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction.
