The network of co-occurring core genera within the body habitat: a blood, b uterus, and c feces. The nodes represent the core genera, and the size of each node is proportional to the degree (the number of connections). The edges stand for strong (Spearman’s correlation coefficient r s < − 0.7 or r s > 0.7) and significant (P < 0.01) correlations between core genera. The blood, uterus, and feces revealed 4, 4, and 14 modularity structures in the network, respectively. The nodes and edges are colored based on modularity structure: 1st modularity structure (blue), 2nd modularity structure (green), 3rd modularity structure (red), 4th modularity structure (yellow), and so on. The boxes (c) show the magnified views for co-occurrence patterns of pathogenic bacteria involved in uterine disease: (1) Fusobacterium, (2) Porphyromonas, and (3) Bacteroides
