FIG 3.

Temporal dynamics in vaginal microbiome composition after HIV-1 DNA immunization. (A) Relative abundances of phyla following DNA3 immunization. (B) Relative abundance of specific orders of genera following DNA3 immunization. (C) Violin plots show transient decrease in the genus Lactobacillus (g_Lactobacillus) and genus Streptococcus (g_Streptococcus) (adjusted P value of <0.05). The thick black line indicates the median, and the dashed lines show interquartile range. Significance was tested by Shannon alpha-diversity by group and time, adjusting for time since last menses and paired housing status. p_Firmicutes, phylum Firmicutes.
