Fig. 3. Vaginal microbiome composition and leukocyte presence.

Fig. 3

a Stacked bar showing Lactobacillus abundance groups and vaginal microbiome groups (VMG) of women with leukocyte grades of I (0-5 counts/Hp), II (5-15 counts/Hp), III (15-30 counts/Hp) and IV (>30 counts/Hp). b Boxplots showing relative abundance of L. crispatus, L. gasseri, L. iners, L. jenseni, L. delbruecki, and Lactobacillus spp. in women with leukocyte low (grades I and II, green) and high (grades III and IV, red). The bounds of the box represent the first and third quartiles, center line represents the median, and whiskers show min-to-max values. c LDA of differentially abundant taxa and cladogram displaying bacterial clades and nodes identified as differentialy abundance from LDA analysis in vaginal microbiota of women with leukocyte low (grades I-II, green) and high (grades III-IV, red). Statistical significance of categorical variables based on Fisher’s Exact Test and continuous variables based on Kruskal-Wallis Test.
