Figure 6

Growth inhibition at 37°C compared to 30°C incubation. S. brasiliensis from feline (n = 30) or human source (n = 27) are more resistant to heat incubation and differ statistically when compared to S. schenckii (n = 25), S. globosa (n = 7) and S. mexicana (n = 4). Statistical significance in one-way ANOVAs followed by Tukey's tests: * p<0.05, *** p<0.0001. The line in the boxes and upper and lower bars show the median, maximum and minimum values, respectively. Isolates were not compared at superior temperature (38–40°C) due to low growth observed to S. globosa and S. mexicana. No isolate were able to growth at 40°C.
