a, b Contribution of individual bacterial genera to the unique aspect of PCF fluid. For 82 different genera the relative in abundance in PCF was compared to that 13 other body sites and the relative contribution to the PCF-specific nature of the microbiome spectrum was calculated. In additional files information on a further 232 genera can be found. The results show that PCF contains a microbiome that is characterized by an overall uniqueness that cannot be attributed to a single genus
