In the published article, there was a mistake in Figure 3 and Figure 5 . Figure 3 appeared in place of Figure 5 and vice versa. The corrected figures appear below.
Figure 3.
Hemolysis of erythrocytes co-incubated with monocultures or co-cultures of Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida albicans and Lactobacillus crispatus. (A) ATCC30236 T. vaginalis standard isolate, C. albicans (CA3), and L. crispatus (LC2). (B) TV-LACM6 T. vaginalis fresh clinical isolate, C. albicans (CA3), and L. crispatus (LC1). Positive control of hemolysis is erythrocytes treated with 0.2% Triton X-100. Results are expressed as a percentage of total hemolysis, presented as the mean ± S.D. of at least two blood samples. The percentage of hemolysis from erythrocytes co-incubated with T. vaginalis monocultures was compared to co-cultures with the protozoan. (*) indicates a significant difference.
Figure 5.
Yeast-to-hyphal form transition of Candida albicans in monoculture and co-culture. (A) Co-culture of C. albicans (CA3, initial density at 3.33x104 CFU/mL) with ATCC Trichomonas vaginalis isolate (ATCC3026, initial density at 1 x 106 trophozoites/mL) and second density of Lactobacillus crispatus (LC2, initial density at 5.53x106 CFU/mL). (B) Co-culture of CA3 with fresh clinical T. vaginalis isolate (TV-LACM6, initial density at 1 x 106 trophozoites/mL) and first density of L. crispatus (LC1, initial density at 5.53x107 CFU/mL. The date were expressed by percentage de hyphae formation. Results are representative of two independent experiments conducted with triplicate assays. (*) Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05).
