SEM images of the effect of AMP-17 on the morphological structure of C. albicans. (A and B) Untreated C. albicans cells are intact, with plump appearance, smooth surface, and clear cell boundaries. (C and D) C. albicans treated with AMP-17 (40 μg/mL) at 8 h showed severe irregularities in shape, and cells adhered tightly to each other; Some diseased cells ruptured and leaked out their contents (red arrowheads). (E and F) C. albicans treated with AMP-17 (40 μg/mL) at 16 h showed lysed cells and some cell debris (red arrowheads). At two time points, pseudohyphae could not be observed. The bars indicate 20 μm.
