(A) C. albicans colonies (log) cultivated in the vaginal fluids of female C57BL/6 mice treated in the absence of light (non-PDT) and by PDT (LED light at 113 J.cm−2, 5 min). Results are expressed as the mean ± SD of the 4 days of the treatments (1, 3, 5, and 7 days post-inoculation). (B) Microscopic images (40× magnification) of C. albicans morphology in the vagina of PDT-treated animals. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, compared between the treatment and the inoculum control groups.
