Surveillance of Food- and Smear-Transmitted Pathogens in European Soldiers with Diarrhea on Deployment in the Tropics: Experience from the European Union Training Mission (EUTM) Mali

Table 3

Ct-values in cases of multiple pathogen detections (in brackets). If both stable and labile toxin of STEC were detected, two Ct-values are given, otherwise only one. In case of Shigella spp./EIEC detections, three Ct-values are shown, reflecting the three applied PCR approaches. In several cases, low Ct-values are measured for more than one pathogen.
