Evaluation of the interaction of C. glabrata HTL, fps1, and ady2a cells with macrophages. (A) Percentage of C. glabrata killing by macrophages evaluated by CFU and (B) the TNF-α concentration released by macrophages infected with C. glabrata strains in pg/ml, Ctl1 and Ctl2 corresponds to the macrophages control and incubated with LPS, respectively. The results were assessed at 3 and 18 h post-infection (white and grey bars, respectively). Before the phagocytosis assay yeast cells were grown in two different conditions: RPMI pH 5.0 and RPMI 0.5% acetic acid at pH 5.0. Error bars represent SD. , ∗∗, and ∗∗∗ means that results are statistically significant (p < 0.05), (p < 0.01), and (p < 0.001), respectively, when comparing 3 with 18 h of incubation. Other comparisons are indicated by a bar.
