Table 4 NNPD status associated with selected bacteria and relevant variables

ln(variable)	Estimate	95% confidence interval	p- value
Intercept	−0.98	[−3.10,1.13]	-
Species E. coli	−0.11	[−0.42,0.65]	-
Genus Enterococcus	0.34	[0.09,0.59]	0.009
Enterococcus: E. coli	−0.12	[−0.23,-0.02]	0.02
Beta- and Gammaproteobacteria: colon	0.82	[0.33,1.30]	0.001
Gilt	3.23	[1.99,4.46]	<0.0001

Of the following variables tested, genus Enterococcus, class Beta- and Gammaproteobacteria, family Enterobacteriaceae, species Escherichia coli, Gut section, Gilt, and Age, as well as possible interactions between bacteria, NNPD was found to be significantly related to the variables mentioned below. Numbers are transformed with the natural logarithm (ln). The odds ratio can be calculated as the exponentiated estimate.
