Relationship between the Antifungal Susceptibility Profile and the Production of Virulence-Related Hydrolytic Enzymes in Brazilian Clinical Strains of Candida glabrata
Figure 1
Differential expression of hydrolytic enzymes by 91 Candida glabrata strains with different susceptibility profiles against antifungal drugs: (a) hemolytic activity of strains regarding fluconazole susceptibility; (b) hemolytic activity of strains regarding itraconazole susceptibility; (c) hemolytic activity of strains regarding micafungin susceptibility; and (d) esterase activity of strains regarding micafungin susceptibility. Straight lines in each group represent the median for that group. In all the cases, differences between medians of groups with different susceptibility profiles were statistically significant ().
