Nugent scores from vaginal swabs from women sampled at the baseline cycle (Sample A) and at embryo transfer (Sample B) for those who achieved implantation and those who did not

	Women who achieved implantation Nugent score mean	Women who achieved implantation with a predominance of Lactobacilli detected by qPCR	Women who achieved implantation with a predominance of anaerobes detected by qPCR	Women who did not achieve implantation Nugent score mean	Women who did not achieve implantation with a predominance of Lactobacilli detected by qPCR	Women who did not achieve implantation with a predominance of anaerobes detected by qPCR
Sample A baseline vaginal swab	2.6	33%	40%	2.7	33%	27%
Sample B embryo transfer vaginal swab	2.9	7%	47%	3.1	13%	40%

The percent of samples that were positive for Lactobacillus spp. and anaerobes detected by qPCR is added for comparison.
