Correlations between differentially expressed common fungal (n = 10) and bacterial taxa associated with BV and inflammation from visit 1 samples (n = 113) using a Spearman’s correlation. Fungal taxa are highlighted in purple. Red circles represent negative correlations (negative r-value), and blue circles represent positive correlations (positive r-value). The size of the circle represents the strength of the correlation (r-value), darker colors, and circle size represent stronger correlations. M. sympodialis had the strongest positive correlation with the bacterium G. vaginalis. The strongest negative correlation was observed between C. albicans and G. vaginalis
