Effect of Eugenol on Cell Surface Hydrophobicity, Adhesion, and Biofilm of Candida tropicalis and Candida dubliniensis Isolated from Oral Cavity of HIV-Infected Patients

Figure 1

Effect of eugenol on viability of mature biofilm of Candida dubliniensis and Candida tropicalis. (a) The mature biofilms (24 h) were incubated in the presence of different concentrations (3000.0–5.86 μg/mL) of eugenol for 24 h at 37°C. (b) The mature biofilms were incubated with SMIC100 concentrations of eugenol at 37°C and the metabolic activity of sessile cells was assessed at determined time points (3–24 h). Values are expressed as the average percentage of optical density (OD) of wells containing treated biofilms compared to that of control wells (considered to be 100%) for the XTT assays.
