Table 2 I. Distribution of HPV negative women, women with transient HPV16 infection and women with persistent HPV16 infection and CIN2+ in the four clusters. Proportion of total number of samples given in percent are reported within parenthesis. II. Statistical comparisons of the frequencies of non-Lactobacillus clusters (cluster 3 and 4) based on baseline samples of HPV16 negative women versus those with transient and persistent HPV16 infection, and for the follow up sample between women with transient HPV16 and persistent HPV16 infection
