Efficacy of amphotericin B (AMB) in Galleria mellonella infected with different strains of Candida tropicalis. Ten larvae per group were infected with 2 × 106 cells of C. tropicalis ATCC 750, CL-6835, or TP-13650. For C. tropicalis ATCC 200956, an inoculum of 4 × 106 cells was used. After inoculation, larvae were treated with 0.8 or 1.2 μg of AMB/larva (subtherapeutic and therapeutic doses, respectively). An untreated control group was included. Larva survival was monitored daily; the larvae are considered dead when they do not respond to touch.
