Relative abundance (%, y-axis) of the statistically significant taxa in the vaginal microbiota among three groups (x-axis): Prolapse (n = 42) vs. Pessary (n = 17) vs. Postoperative group (n = 11). (a) Relative abundance at the family or genus level of known important human gut taxa and (b) Relative abundance at the species level of 22 representative microbial taxa associated with vaginal health. Horizontal and box plots show the median and quartiles, respectively. Non-parametric test, ^*p < 0.05, ^**p < 0.01, and ^***p < 0.001.
