Figure 1. Cariogenicity of C. albicans biofilms isolated from children with sickle-cell disease and their matched healthy controls (n=25 isolates per group). A) Concentration of lactic acid (mmol/L-1); B) Concentration of alkali-soluble polysaccharides (μg glucose/mg dry biofilm); C) Concentration of proteins (µg/mL); D) Metabolic activity (XTT). Bars represent the standard deviation. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (unpaired t test, p<0.05).
