Figure 3

SEM of Candida parapsilosis. SEM of Candida parapsilosis after 1 day incubation at 104 mL−1 (a) and 106 mL−1 (b) and after 5 days at 104 mL−1 (c) and at 106 mL−1 (d). Although the adhesion is well defined, only small amounts of yeasts are observed. The skin is damaged and the cells are embedded by thread-like appendices.
