Preparation and In Vitro Evaluation of Alginate Microparticles Containing Amphotericin B for the Treatment of Candida Infections

Figure 5

Cell viability: (a) viability ratio and (b) CFU/mL of Candida albicans cells treated with free AmB or AmB-loaded MCPs for 48 hours. The amount of AmB-loaded MCPs added corresponded to an equivalent amount of free AmB. MCPs represent blank microparticles at the concentration used for AmB-loaded MCPs. Error bars represent the standard error of two independent experiments.
