Vaginal C. albicans burden during experimental vaginal candidosis. Levels of C. albicans colonization in naïve untreated mice, untreated infected mice and treated infected mice were assessed at days 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 16, 23, 31, 38, 52 and 62 post infection. Mean C. albicans CFU count per vagina ± SD was calculated based on three separate experiments per group. □ infected untreated mice; infected treated mice.
