FIG 6.

Recovery of C. albicans from homogenized tongue tissue from treated and control mice adjusted per gram tissue. In order to assess the fungal burden on infected tissue from treated and untreated animals, tongues were homogenized and cultured. Based on CFU counts, a high level of C. albicans was recovered from all the untreated mice whereas in the treated group, no C. albicans was recovered from 19 of the 41 treated mice, with low-level recovery of C. albicans from 11 of the 41 treated mice. In the remaining treated 11 mice, levels comparable to those from untreated mice were recovered. Data shown are the averages of data sets from experiments performed on 8 separate occasions.
