  abstract = {{B}acterial pathogens in surface waters may threaten human health, especially in developing countries, where untreated surface water is often used for domestic needs. {T}he objective of the long-term multiscale monitoring of {E}scherichia coli ([{E}. coli]) concentration in stream water, and that of associated variables (temperature ( {T}), electrical conductance ({EC}), dissolved oxygen concentration ([{DO}]) and saturation ({DO}%), p{H} (p{H}), oxidation-reduction potential ({ORP}), turbidity ({T}urb), and total suspended sediment concentration ([{TSS}])), was to identify the drivers of bacterial dissemination across tropical catchments. {T}his data description paper presents three datasets (see "{D}ata availability" section) collected at 31 sampling stations located within the {M}ekong {R}iver and its tributaries in {L}ao {PDR} (0.6-25 946 km(2)) from 2011 to 2021. {T}he 1602 records have been used to describe the hydrological processes driving in-stream {E}. coli concentration during flood events, to understand the land-use impact on bacterial dissemination on small and large catchment scales, to relate stream water quality and diarrhea outbreaks, and to build numerical models. {T}he database may be further used, e.g., to interpret new variables measured in the monitored catchments, or to map the health risk posed by fecal pathogens.},
