PbHad32p plays an essential role during adherence to epithelial cells. (A) Adherence of PbWt and PbHAD32 aRNA yeast cells to A549 epithelial human lung cells at different times postinfection (1 and 3 h). The percent adherence was expressed as the number of CFU adhered to epithelial cells divided by the number of CFU from wells without epithelial cells (*, P < 0.05 compared with PbWt). (B) Gene expression levels of PbHAD32 during infection of epithelial cells with PbWt yeasts cells (*, P < 0.05 compared with PbHAD32 aRNA). (C) Gene expression levels of PbHAD32 in PbWt and PbHAD32 aRNA yeast cells growing in the absence of epithelial cells.
