Changes in metabolic activities (A, B) of C. albicans ATCC 14053, C. pulcherrima, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis cells after pesticide treatment. (A) Mean values of metabolic activity of Candida spp. cells were estimated with the Alamar Blue (resazurin) assay at different concentrations of pesticide treatment (6, 12, 25 µg·mL−1 of Tango®; 25, 50, 100 µg·mL−1 of Mospilan®; 60, 120, 250 µg·mL−1 of Calypso®), Ctrl, control conditions (black). Bars indicate SD with standard deviations, n = 3, *** p < 0.00, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05 compared to control (ANOVA + Dunnett’s a posteriori test). (B) Mean values of metabolic activity of Candida spp. cells were estimated with the Alamar Blue (resazurin) assay after exposure to different concentrations of the pesticides’ active agents (Tango®-fenpropimorph (4.49, 8.98, 18.71 µg·mL−1), epoxiconazole (1.51, 3.02, 6.29 µg·mL−1) and mixture of both; Mospilan®-acetamiprid; Calypso®-thiacloprid) Ctrl, control conditions (black). Bars indicate SD with SD, n = 3, *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05 compared to control (ANOVA + Dunnett’s a posteriori test).
