Data were collated from the experiments illustrated in Fig. 1, 4, and 6. Mice were designated as cured only when bioluminescence negative by both in vivo and ex vivo imaging following immunosuppression (see Materials and Methods). In the posaconazole treatment, data from both formulations were pooled.
