In the networks, each node represents a taxon on either species, genus, or family level, which was aggregated such that individual nodes on a lower level are not part of the corresponding higher-level node(s). For each node, the size is proportional to the total number of inferred interactions associated with the taxon, and the shape indicates if the node represents a species (circle) or a higher-level taxon (square). Edges are drawn between taxa with at least an order-level distance, between which horizontal transfer was observed at least 5 times. Edge thickness indicates the maximal estimated co-occurrence of two species included in each taxon in (a) human samples (n = 3220) and (b) wastewater samples (n = 1185). If co-occurrence was measurable in less than 1% of the corresponding samples, no edge is drawn. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
