Attenuated virulence of rvs161Δ and rvs167Δ mutants in a mouse model of hematogenously disseminated candidiasis. Survival curves of mice infected with rvs161Δ (A), rvs162Δ (B), or rvs167Δ (C) compared with that of the wild-type strain DIC185. Note the reduced virulence of the rvs161Δ and rvs167Δ strains (P = 0.0001). The difference between the rvs161Δ and rvs167Δ strains was not statistically different. Strains used were YLD14 (rvs161Δ), YLD22 (rvs162Δ), YLD16 (rvs167Δ), YLD11 (rvs161Δ/rvs161Δ/RVS161), YLD12 (rvs167Δ/rvs167Δ/RVS167), and wild-type DIC185.
