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

Table 3

Glucose concentration and pH change during yeast to hyphae transition of C. albicans irrespective of the presence of vaginal epithelial cells. Samples were taken at starting point (0 h) and at end point (3 h) of the experiment.
