Identification of a distinct ectocervical tissue-adherent microbiome. Ectocervical tissue samples were assessed for presence of a tissue-adherent microbiome. a Bar plots of alpha diversity indices and taxonomy profiles for each individual tissue sample. Color-coded squares above the stacked bar plots show bacterial vaginosis (BV, binned Nugent’s scores) and HIV diagnosis, respectively. Gray: negative, orange: intermediate, red: positive BV; Gray: HIV seronegative, red: HIV seropositive. b Total relative abundance in the luminal and tissue microbiome datasets. All taxa with a total relative abundance < 0.55 are included in the “other” category. c Microbiome profile shift between luminal and tissue samples
