Fig. (1)

Samples were obtained by cervicovaginal lavage from 10 women without BV (left) and 10 with BV (right). Note that BV tends to be polymicrobial while microbiota of non-BV tends to be nearly all lactobacilli. Microbiota was determined by pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and inputting the sequences into Ribosomal Database 10.
