Figure 1.

Figures 1A and 1B are bar graphs titled Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Shigella spp., and Citrobacter spp., plotting number of children ranging from 0 to 240 in increments of 60 (y-axis) across intervention and control (x-axis) for Negative, Enrichment, and Quantifiable. Figures 1C and 1D are vertical scatter graphs, titled Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Shigella spp., and Citrobacter spp., plotting log to the base 10 of colony forming units per gram of wet feces, ranging from 2 to 6 in unit increment, where 2 is the lower limit of detection (y-axis) across intervention and control (x-axis).

Fecal carriage rates of (A) ESBL-E. coli and (B) ESBL-KESC in the intervention (n=240) and control (n=239) groups. The term negative was assigned to samples where no growth was observed after direct plating onto CHROMID ESBL agar or after the enrichment step; enrichment corresponds to samples with presumptive ESBL-E. coli colonies after the enrichment step; and quantifiable corresponds to samples with presumptive ESBL-E. coli colonies after direct plating onto CHROMID ESBL agar. Concentrations of (C) ESBL-E. coli and (D) ESBL-KESC in the intervention and control groups among samples with direct positive cultures (quantifiable). The dotted horizontal line is the mean log10 CFU/g-wet feces in the intervention and control groups; the LLOD is indicated. Note: CFU, colony forming units; ESBL, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing; KESC, the Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp., and Citrobacter spp. group; LLOD, lower limit of detection.
