Cervicovaginal microbiota composition and community state type (CST) clustering. (a) Individual vaginal taxa plots; the legend shows the 12 most abundant taxa. (b) Heatmap of the 30 most abundant taxa by cervicovaginal CSTs resulting from the hierarchical clustering analysis (see text for explanation). Right hand boxplot shows Shannon index for each cervicovaginal CSTs: CST-L. iners < CST-G.vaginalis < CST-div2 = CST-div1. Different letters over the boxplots indicate significant differences (Kruskal–Wallis, p < 0.001). Vaginal pH is also shown. (c) Discriminant taxa for each cervicovaginal CSTs (LEfSe, p < 0.01).
