This study finds higher prevalence of E. coli and cefotaxime-resistant E. coli on soil floors compared to concrete floors in Bangladeshi households, with associations strengthened by domestic animal presence, particularly chickens.

This study finds that finished floors in rural Bangladesh are associated with lower E. coli contamination on child hands, food, and water during periods of high rainfall and temperature.

The paper investigates the presence of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in soil floors and cow dung from rural Bangladeshi households, finding shared and distinct microbial communities and resistance profiles.
