Figure 4

Microbial diversity and composition of dedicated GBS swabs stored at room temperature. Swabs were sampled on collection (0 h) and stored at room temperature with additional sampling after 4 h, 24 h and 48 h. Diversity (a) measured by richness (observed ASVs), Shannon diversity index and Simpson diversity index. Relative abundance (%) is shown for the top 50 most common ASVs to genus level taxonomy (b) for each sample at each time point. In figure (b), individual ASVs belonging to the same genus are grouped together.
