Fig. 2

Spearman correlation between 16S rRNA normalized gene count abundances assigned to Escherichia (x-axis) and either (a) qPCR LT or (b) quantitative culture. All axes are on log10 scale. The size of each of the circles is proportional to the total number of reads in the sample. Orange and green circles represent diarrheal and non-diarrheal samples, respectively. Orange lines are the linear correlation in stools from patients with diarrhea. Correlation between 16S rRNA gene counts of Escherichia and quantitative culture estimates and correlation between 16S rRNA gene counts and qPCR LT estimates are high in diarrheal samples, when E. coli is abundant. In non-diarrheal samples, the correlation is low
