Data indicate mean percent inhibition of growth of parasite cells (mean % IG) and standard error, the number of fungal genotypes examined, the number and percent of those genotypes that are highly active (i.e., ≥50% IG), and a qualitative statement of activity level. Mean % IG varied significantly among activity levels (F2, 153 = 4.45; p = 0.0132).
