Fungal burden in neonatal mice after wild-type C. parapsilosis strain infection. CFU in spleen, kidney, liver and brain in newborn mice after 2 and 7 days of post-infection. At least n = 4 mice/group/experiment were infected with the 1 × 10⁷/20 μl of C. parapsilosis CLIB 214 (WT CLIB) wild-type strain. Results (mean ± SEM) are pooled data from two independent experiments. Not significant (ns), ^∗p < 0.05 and ^∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001 when the CFUs were compared between the two-time points of the analysis as determined by Mann–Whitney U test.
