Photodynamic inactivation effects on planktonic and biofilm forms of Exophiala spp. and Exophiala spp. (A) CFU counting of Planktonic Exophiala spp. (B) CFU counting of Planktonic Fusarium spp. (C) CFU counting of Exophiala Biofilms. (D) CFU counting of Fusarium Biofilms. C1, growth in Sabouraud glucose agar without irradiation or methylene blue; C2, isolates exposed to 16 μg/ml of methylene blue without irradiation; C3 isolates exposed to irradiation without methylene blue; T1 photodynamic treatment with 8 μg/ml of methylene blue; T2 photodynamic treatment with 16 μg/ml of methylene blue; T3, photodynamic treatment with 32 μg/ml of methylene blue. Data are mean values and standard error from three replicate experiments.
