*Values have been rounded to include significant digits and thus not all summations necessarily tally. Boldface indicates the top 5 contributors to each estimate category. EHEC, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli; CrI, credible interval.
†These estimates correspond to the mean of the output distributions.
‡95% CrI representative of the 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles.
