Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) based on Bray–Curtis (BC) dissimilarity of cumulative sum scaling normalized genus-level read counts of bovine intrauterine microbiome. Ellipses correspond to 95% confidence interval. A NMDS ordination by three clinical groups of cows sampled (CT = 32, MET = 33, and PUS = 31) (ANOSIM- analysis of similarities, p = 0.001, R = 0.128; PERMANOVA- permutational multivariate analysis of variance, R2 = 0.085, p = 0.001) B NMDS ordination by clinical groups of cows samples with MET cows (i.e., cows with clinical signs of metritis) stratified by treatment with antimicrobials or not (CT = 32, MET_No Treatment = 23, MET_Treatment = 10, and PUS = 31) (ANOSIM p = 0.001, R = 0.129; PERMANOVA R2 = 0.126, p = 0.001)
