Departure from additivity between level of ipaH gene and presence of Lactobacillus taxon TSK G32-2 on odds of moderate-to-severe diarrhea in children in low-income countries. The reference group is TSK G32-2 negative, low level of ipaH. The observed combined joint effect of a high level of the ipaH gene and TSK G32-2 was lower than the expected additive effect. Gray bars indicate effect of TSK G32-2; black bars indicate effect of high levels of ipaH; and white bar indicates observed joint effect
