Impact of Mss11 on C. glabrata virulence in G. mellonella infection model. Healthy larvae were divided into groups and injected with the C. glabrata strain suspension or sterile PBS (negative control). Mortality rate of G. mellonella larvae was monitored daily based on their response to touch. The virulence of the Δmss11 mutant was notably diminished, with a 60% survival rate at post-infection day 5; however, it was only 30% for ATCC 2001 and the complemented strains. ***P < 0.001.
