Figure 5. Pregnancy outcomes grouped according to the balance of Lactobacillus abundance and pathological bacteria abundance in the vagina in patients not given antibiotics (n=24). In patients not given antibiotics, the proportion of pregnant women was significantly higher (13/16: 81.2%) in the High L+ Low PB vaginal microbiomes, whereas the rate of nonpregnant women significantly higher (2/3: 66.7%) in the Low L+ High PB vaginal microbiomes (p=0.045) (Fisher’s exact probability test, one-tailed test). *High L: High abundance of the Lactobacillus group, Low L: Low abundance of the Lactobacillus group, High PB: High abundance of the pathological bacteria group, Low PB: Low abundance of the pathological bacteria group.
