From: The association between obesity and weight loss after bariatric surgery on the vaginal microbiota
a The prevalence of the Lactobacillus-dominant genus group was lower in obese compared to non-obese women (p<0.001). b Number of species observed (Sobs) increased with obesity (p=0.002). c Significantly increased microbial diversity was seen among obese women (p=0006). d The vaginal microbiome of obese women was characterised at genus level by increased mean proportion (%) of Dialister, Prevotella and Anaerococcus. Results at species level showed increased mean proportion (%) of Dialister (unclassified), Prevotella timonensis and Anaerococcus vaginalis in obese women, and Lactobacillus crispatus dominated among non-obese women
