Sampling design and relatedness

longitudinal — not resolved

13 of 36 people sampled more than once (50 samples; median 4, up to 7 per person). Schedule stated by the source: “Fecal samples collected serially 2 to 3 times per week from time of hospitalization until discharge, with some follow-up after discharge” (time origin: other:hospitalization); stated follow-up 22 d.
