Fig. 2.
Fungal tissue burdens in immunocompetent BALB/c mice infected intravenously with 4 × 107 viable cells of C. glabrata strains. Mice were sacrificed at day 7 postinfection, and results represent values recorded separately for each of the 10 mice. Geometric means are indicated by horizontal bars, and asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001). NS, not significant (P > 0.05). The origin of each strain is indicated. Prism 5.0 was used for statistical analysis, and data were processed with nonparametric Wilcoxon rank sum tests. Comparisons are indicated in the figure and associate selected data points.
