Association between microbial taxa and the acquisition of C. trachomatis. LEfSe analysis identified significantly abundant microbial taxa, when comparing samples collected from women who acquire C. trachomatis and women who do not with an alpha value <0.05. The taxa are ranked according to their effect size that are associated with different conditions with the highest median. The Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) score at the log10 scale is indicated at the bottom. The greater the LDA score is, the more significant the specific microbial taxa are in the comparison.
