- The GEMS study specifically identified enteroaggregative (EAEC), enteropathogenic (EPEC) and enterotoxigenic (ETEC) E. coli strains as primary causes of diarrhoea. More than 90% of E. coli reads here could not be classified at the strain-level; approximately 300,000 E. coli reads could be classified to the strain level and were analysed further. All three pathogens showed a trend towards increased abundance in treated children, significantly for EPEC (p = 0.0001, EAEC; p = 0.2970, ETEC; p = 0.8835)
