Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of VM composition in (a) the entire group, b group 1, c group 2, and d group 3, based on the Bray–Curtis dissimilarities distance matrix. Black arrows highlight properties that significantly contribute to dispersion in each group, while gray arrows represent non-significant contributors. e Bar charts display the differentially abundant bacterial species in each disease group comparing HPV 16/18 and other HR-HPVs. Log2 fold change values are used to denote significant enrichment, with positive values (red bars) indicating enrichment in HPV 16/18 and negative values (blue bars) indicating enrichment in other HR-HPVs (log2 fold change >1 or <-1, p < 0.05, DESeq2).
