Efficacy of antimicrobial treatments. A. Antibacterial treatment (AB) eliminated almost all bacterial growth. Significantly fewer colony forming units (CFUs) appeared compared to controls (Con). Treatment with the antifungal captan (AF) led to a slight increase in bacterial CFUs relative to the respective COil-containing diet. The combined AB+AF treatment suppressed almost all bacterial growth. Individual circles represent the total CFU counts from single fly homogenate; line indicates median. The p-values were derived from a negative binomial model with N = 6 individual flies for each control and treatment group. B. Representative MRS + AF plates containing homogenate from single flies plated at two concentrations (10−1, 10−2), with two flies per plate. C. AF treatment suppressed fungal CFU growth compared to COil conditions. AB treatment led to an increase in fungal CFUs relative to the control diet. The AF and combined AB+AF treatments significantly reduced fungal growth. Individual circles represent CFU counts from single fly homogenate; line indicates median. The p-values were derived from a negative binomial model with N = 6 individual flies for each control and treatment group. D. Representative YPD + AB plates containing homogenate from single flies plated at two concentrations (10−1, 10−2), with two flies per plate.
