FIGURE 4. Abundant taxa in the placental membrane microbiome are unaltered by treatment or mode of delivery.

FIGURE 4

Differences in bacterial taxa at the species level were determined by Manhattan distance and visualized using a heat map. Subjects clustered by virtue of gestational age (term [orange] vs preterm [green]) and by histologic chorioamnionitis (yes: dark blue, no: dark red, mild: gray). Significance based on antibiotic treatment (yes: blue, no: red, unknown: gray), use of betamethasone (yes: green, no: pink, unknown: gray), or mode of delivery (vaginal: brown, cesarean delivery: light blue) was not detected.
