Fig 1
Informed written consent from parents/guardians were procured on the proforma (S1 File). Total 586 stool samples were collected from children of age group 1–14 years. Of the 586 stool samples, 36 stool samples were excluded as no definitive E. coli isolates could be cultured from those samples. A total of 550 E. coli isolates from 550 samples were used for the analysis.
