Fig. 1

Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) of vaginal samples, colour coded by allocated VM group. nMDS values were calculated and visualized for three dimensions using the operational taxonomic unit (OTU)-based Bray-Curtis metric that assesses OTU presence/absence and OTU abundance (i.e. diversity). Dots closer together are more similar in microbial composition. Blue dots represent L. crispatus-dominated samples, green dots represent L. iners-dominated samples, red dots represent vaginal samples with diverse anaerobes and yellow dots represent samples with diverse lactobacilli
