Community state types describe the different vaginal bacterial communities present in the participants of the current study. They were defined using Bray-Curtis dissimilarity measure and Ward linkage hierarchical clustering. CST I and III are dominated by L. crispatus and L. iners respectively, whereas CST IVs comprise of diverse sets of anaerobic bacteria and low to no lactobacilli.
