Signature 2
Source: Figure 4B
Description: There was decreased abundance of aerococcus in vaginal fluid of endometriosis patients compared to healthy controls. Atopobium, which is normally found in the lower female reproductive tract, was completely absent in vaginal fluid of endometriosis patients.
