Ordination plots for alpha diversity to measure intra-sampler diversity. For these calculations, the alpha diversity metrics use both counts (richness) and distribution (evenness, Shannon Index) of the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) within a sample as the basic values. A minimum average of 0.05% was considered for calculating the overall abundance in all cases. CIN: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; NIL: No detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; HPV-NA: no information on HPV status; HPV + : women positive for HPV infection; HPV-: women negative for HPV infection
