Figure 1. Kidney fungal burden, a measure of susceptibility to C. albicans infection, in 23 inbred mouse strains.

23 out of 36 commonly used inbred strains from the Jackson Mouse Phenome Database were phenotyped for susceptibility to C. albicans. 7–10 female mice per strain were infected intravenously with 5×10⁴ C. albicans blastospores and the kidney fungal load was measured 48 h post-infection. Bars represent strain mean±SD. Horizontal lines represent mean (solid line) across all 23 strains±SD (dashed lines).
