Figure 3. Pregnancy outcomes grouped according to the balance of Lactobacillus abundance and pathological bacteria abundance in the vagina (n=34). The proportion of pregnant women was significantly higher (16/21: 76.1%) in High L+ Low PB vaginal microbiomes, whereas the proportion of nonpregnant women was significantly higher (6/7: 85.7%) in Low L + High PB vaginal microbiomes (p=0.015) (Fisher’s exact probability test, one-tailed test). *High L: Group with high abundance of Lactobacillus, Low L: Group with low abundance of Lactobacillus, High PB: Group with high abundance of pathological bacteria, Low PB: Group with low abundance of pathological bacteria.
