Community types of the vagino-uterine microbiota. a Distribution of samples among the five community types at each body site (n = 94 CL, 95 CU, 95 CV, 80 ET, 93 PF, 9 FLL and 10 FRL, Supplementary Data 1). b Relative abundances of the top 8 most abundant genera in the 5 community types. The boxes denote the interquartile range (IQR) between the first and third quartiles (25th and 75th percentiles, respectively), and the line inside the boxes denote the median. The whiskers denote the lowest and highest values within 1.5 times the IQR from the first and third quartiles, respectively. Circles represent data points beyond the whiskers. c Community types connected between neighbouring sites according to individual subjects. Due to the small sample size, results for the fallopian tubes were plotted in a separate graph (Supplementary Fig. 7c). The width of each line indicates the number of subjects (n = 1–95)
