Summary of PCR-ribotypes detected in Escherichia coli cultured from several Norovirus patients.

Abbreviations: UG, Norovirus patient with an undisrupted microbiota; DG, Norovirus patient with a disrupted microbiota.Individuals with Norovirus infection contained a dominant type of E. coli (80–100% of isolates examined were a single type). Additionally, some PCR ribotypes were shared amongst multiple Norovirus patients, but most types were unique to each patient and each group. Ribotypes were assigned based upon allele combinations seen in Table S5.缩写说明：UG为微生物群未受干扰的诺如病毒患者；DG为微生物群受干扰的诺如病毒患者。感染诺如病毒的个体体内存在优势型大肠杆菌（经检测的分离株中80%~100%为单一型别）。此外，部分PCR核糖体型（PCR ribotype）可在多名诺如病毒患者间共享，但绝大多数型别仅为单个患者及其所属组别所特有。核糖体型别依据表S5中呈现的等位基因组合进行判定。
