Sensitivity to triclosan (A) and fluconazole (B-D) of non-albicans Candida species. Drug susceptibilities were tested by the EUCAST method. Strains (C. tropicalis 3111 [B], C. parapsilosis HEM20 [C], and C. dubliniensis Wü284 [D]) were grown on YEPD plates at 37°C for 24 hrs before inoculation at 2 x 105 cfu/mL. Triclosan was added at 1 mg/L where indicated in panels B-D. Plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 hrs, and growth was measured as absorbance at 540 nm. Results are the average of at least 3 independent experiments. Dotted lines on Y-axes indicate IC50 values.
