Fig 4. Killing kinetics of Hst5, P113, di-18Hc, hybrid peptides against Candida albicans.

Killing kinetics of peptides against C. albicans was measured by colony count assay. Candida cells were treated with a different concentration of peptides at a determined time. 10 mM NaPB was used as a control. Killing percent was calculated with the following equation: Killing % = (number of control cell—number of treated cell)/control cell × 100.
