Correlations between bacteria concentration in house dust and overall ERMI, Group 1 ERMI, and Group 2 ERMI. Correlation coefficients (r) are based on Pearson product moment correlations between loge-transformed outcome variables. Significant correlations (p<0.05) are shown in bold. Correlations between ERMI (including Group 1 and Group 2) and Mycobacterium were not significant.
