Dioscin inhibits the adhesion of C. albicans cells to polystyrene surfaces of 96-well plates. (a) Adhesion was calculated through comparing the residual viability of drug-treated cells left on surfaces after wash with those of drug-free controls, determined by XTT assay. (b) The inhibition of dioscin on adhesion was not completely due to the alterations in cell numbers. After 1.5 h incubation, cells in each well were collected and diluted for CFU counting. ∗, p < 0.05.
