Comparison of the vaginal microbiota taxonomic composition between healthy control samples (CON) and the condyloma acuminatum group (CA) and between the HPV persistent-positivity (HPV_PP) group and HPV turn-negative (HPV_TN) group. (a) Histogram showing the abundance of vaginal microbial communities in both the CON and CA groups at the genus level. (b) Histogram showing the abundance of vaginal microbial communities in both the CON and CA groups at the species level. (c) Histogram showing the abundance of vaginal microbial communities in both the HPV_PP and the HPV_TN groups at the genus level. (d) Histogram showing the abundance of vaginal microbial communities in both the HPV_TN and HPV_PP groups at the species level. *Note: The detection of Gardnerella vaginalis in the present study may represent a mixture of multiple Gardnerella species.
