Pregnant women with bacterial vaginosis harbor a distinct microbiota community structure. (A,B) Relative abundance of bacterial genera within the vaginal tract (A) and rectum (B) of pregnant women assigned as Normal, Intermediate, or BV by Nugent score described in Table 1. Data represents the top 10 most abundant bacterial genera detected. Each column represents one patient. (C) Principal Component Analysis (PCA) plot depicting the beta-diversity of the microbiota community structure within the vaginal tract and the rectum of pregnant patients described in Table 1. (D) Shannon diversity index of patient vaginal microbiota determined via 16S rRNA gene sequencing according to patient Nugent score. Data graphed as mean ± SEM. (E) Gestational age of delivery for pregnant patients described in Table 1 with either a normal, intermediate or BV Nugent score. Data graphed as mean ± SEM. (F) Birth weight of infant delivered by patients described in Table 1 with a normal, intermediate or BV Nugent score. Data graphed as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance determined via One-way ANOVA, Turkey's multiple comparison test (D,F) or Kruskal-Wallis test, Dunn's multiple comparisons test (E). *p < 0.05. n = 19 patients.
