Diarrheagenic E. coli genomics, urban vs rural Ecuador
315 E. coli samples from individuals with or without diarrhea across urban and rural sites in Ecuador (e.g., Borbón, Esmeraldas, Quito), analyzed by whole genome sequencing in a case-control design to study genomic diversity, virulence, and resistance. machine-written summary

age: sequence archive and curatedMetagenomicData disagree for 19 samples (e.g. 974.0 vs 730.5) — withheld.
The sources disagree on 19 samples. Where two incompatible values exist for one sample (or one person's samples disagree on sex), neither value is published: the field is left empty here, in the sample sheet and in the downloads. Both sides, with their sources, are in gut_metadata_contradictions.parquet of the data package (what counts as a contradiction).

longitudinal
45 of 270 people sampled more than once (90 samples; median 2, up to 2 per person) · follow-up median 3 mo (max 12 mo) · median interval between samples 3 mo (time from age at collection).
Each row is one person (20 shown of 45); dots are samples at days since that person's first sample.
Genera, mean relative abundance over 103 profiled gut samples of this project (Sandpiper SingleM profiles, GTDB R232; low-depth and non-metagenome profiles left out).

Archive description
Here, we used whole genome sequencing to investigate the genome diversity, pangenomic gene function, virulence potential and antibiotic resistance profile of more than 200 pathogenic E. coli strains isolated from individuals with or without diarrhea living in urban and rural regions in Ecuador.
