Tetracycline Effects on Candida Albicans Virulence Factors

Figure 1

The effect of adding a very low concentration of tetracycline to chemically defined growth medium (YNB) on overnight viable counts of 6 strains of yeast is shown. Three strains of yeast (GT188, 986, and GT132) were previously known to be nonsensitive to 17β-estradiol (did not show increased growth yield in the presence of  M/L 17β-estradiol), and 3 strains (GT387, 397, and GT142) were previously shown to be sensitive to growth yield stimulation in the presence of 17β-estradiol. Standard deviations from triplicate determinations are shown by error bars. White bars represent growth in YNB, and black bars represent growth in YNB with 0.1  g/mL tetracycline.
