Alpha- and beta-diversity indexes of the predicted metabolic pathways between C. trachomatis-positive women and healthy controls. (A) Shannon’s and Pielou’s evenness indexes, used as a measure of alpha-diversity within groups; (B) Principal coordinate analysis of Bray–Curtis index, used as a measure of beta-diversity between groups. Each circle represents the predicted metabolic pathways in the cervicovaginal microbiota of each study subject.
