The CFU values are described the survival rates that were compared with the negative control at 100%.

Denotes significant difference (p < 0.05) about the antifungal effect of CAMP for each trial time, the Kruscal–Wallis test.

^{a, b, c, d and e}Denote significant difference (p < 0.05) about comparison of the antifungal effect of CAMP for each condition, the Mann‐Whitney U test.

Different letters mean statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).

Data are presented as mean standard deviation.
