The Absence of N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine Causes Attenuation of Virulence of Candida albicans upon Interaction with Vaginal Epithelial Cells In Vitro

Figure 7

Statistical analysis of the RTCA viability test. Cell indexes reflecting viability of PK E6/E7 vaginal epithelial cells infected with the same number of C. albicans parental (DIC185) and hxk1Δ mutant (hxk1/hxk1) strains were compared. Cell indexes were plotted as a function of inoculum size. Changes were considered statistically significant at (); (); and ().
