The thickness of Candida parapsilosis biofilms was measured (A), and the growth rate was calculated by measuring the change of biofilm thickness every hour (B). (A) Untreated biofilms exhibited linear growth (circles). (B) The average growth rate at 5 to 10 h without treatment was 11.0 ± 1.0 μm/h (white bars). MCFG began to suppress biofilm growth only minutes after initiation of the treatment (A [squares]). The average growth rate for 5 h after addition was 1.0 ± 1.1 μm/h, with a growth rate of 0.3 ± 0.4 μm/h for the next 10 h (B [black bars]). *, P < 0.01.
