Associations between fecal contamination of the household environment and enteric pathogen detection in children living in Maputo, Mozambique

2025-03-13

Abstract excerpt

Environmental exposure to enteric pathogens is generally assessed using fecal indicators but relationships between markers of fecal contamination and actual exposure to enteric pathogens remain poorly characterized. We investigated whether Escherichia coli and two human fecal markers (HF183 and Mnif) in urban Mozambican household soil and drinking water were associated with detection in child stool of eight bacter...
