Figure 3.

Representative photographs of the C. albicans growth on agar plates in the presence of different liposomal formulations; (A) Chitosan-containing liposomes (no drug); (B) Chitosan-containing liposomes (MTZ); (C) Carbopol-containing liposomes (MTZ); (D) plain liposomes (MTZ). Each sector contains an aliquot from a test well with a dilution of a formulation; aliquots were inoculated anticlockwise, i.e., from the highest concentration in sector 1 to the lowest concentration in sector 8. White spots represent the ‘lawn’ growth of C. albicans. The inhibition of C. albicans growth is indicated by the absence of white spots.
