Co-infection increased dissemination of C. albicans in kidneys and livers of TLR2^−/− and wild type animals. Both of the kidneys and the liver of each animal were homogenized, serially diluted and plated for cfu counts on day 5 post infection. Fungal burdens were compared in TLR2^−/− and WT animals infected with C. albicans (Ca) or C. albicans plus S. oralis (CaSo); *P < 0.05 CaSo compared with Ca. Results of three independent mouse experiments, with 6–8 animals per group are shown. Bars indicate SEM.
