Total kidney burdens of mice on day 8 after intravenous infection of immune competent mice with 106 CFU of C. albicans isolate per mouse.
Mice were treated with 5 mg of fluconazole (FLU) per kg.
Significantly different from the control value (P < 0.05).
An error was made for mice infected with isolate 1442; the infecting dose was 107 CFU/mouse.
