Description: Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis of microbial abundance between breast cancer survivors treated with aromatase inhibitors with and without vulvovaginal symptoms. (A) Taxa with a significant difference in both groups were detected by LEfSe analysis with a linear discriminant analysis (LDA)
Abundance in Group 1: increased abundance in Vulvovaginal symptoms
