Marines who reported having 5 or more close friends or relatives were at decreased odds (OR = 0.26, CI = 0.12-0.59) for PTSD compared with Marines who reported having 3 to 4 close friends or relatives at follow-up (Table 3).

HGT between bacteria is thought to be common in the marine environment [ 49] and has been reported to have occurred multiple times between bacteria and nematodes in terrestrial systems [ 35].
Many marine meiofaunal species are reported to have wide distributions, which creates a paradox considering their hypothesized low dispersal abilities.
Most other epidemiology studies at marine beaches have reported higher levels of Enterococcus CFU (although direct comparisons are difficult due to differences in the way average indicator densities were reported) [ 32- 34].
