Fig. 1From: Amniotic fluid from healthy term pregnancies does not harbor a detectable microbial communityBacterial 16S rRNA gene quantitative PCR. 16S rRNA gene copies per reaction were quantified in the amniotic fluid samples, water (reagent negative control), buffer (extraction negative control), and pediatric stool samples. Statistical significance was assessed by Mann-Whitney test; **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.0001. ns, non-significantBack to article page
