The effect of metronidazole and pessaries. a Principal component analysis of the vaginal microbiota composition in healthy women and women after metronidazole treatment. Vectors indicate the species driving variation. H healthy cohort, V2 women from the clinical study at visit 2 (after metronidazole treatment). b The microbiota response to pessaries. Cumulated microbiota composition for LAP and WO 3191 treatment for all visits. At visit 1, metronidazole was provided. At visit 2, women were randomly assigned to one of the two pessary treatments. From visits 3 to 5, they had been treated with the respective pessary. OTUs below 1% abundance are summarized as “others”. LAP = lactic acid pessaries
