FIG. 7.

Relative abundances of lactobacilli in the vaginal flora of women during NI visits, relative to the clinical history of the women. Lactobacillus relative abundance is expressed as the ratio of lactobacillus 16S rrn operons to total eubacterial 16S rrn operons. The box for each group represents the interquartile range (25th to 75th percentile), and the line within this box is the median value. The bottom and top bars indicate the 10th and 90th percentiles, respectively. Outlier values are indicated (black circles).
