Figure Lengend Snippet: Determination of SICD in Candida . Exponential-phase cells of C. albicans ATCC 18804, SN250, DAY286, and SC5314 were transferred to 2% sorbitol ( A ) or 2% sorbitol + 2% glucose ( B ), and CFU assays were done at 48-hour intervals to monitor viability. Stationary-phase cells of C. albicans ATCC18804, SN250, DAY286, and SC5314 ( C ) were tested by transferring stationary-phase cells from YPD medium to either water or 2% glucose. Exponential-phase ( D ) and stationary-phase ( E ) cells of C. dubliniensis , C. glabrata , and C. parapsilosis were tested by transferring exponential- or stationary-phase cells to either 2% sorbitol and 2% sorbitol + 2% glucose or water and 2% glucose, respectively. Stationary-phase cells ( F ) of C. auris ATCC MYA5001 were also tested by transferring cells to either water or 2% glucose solutions. CFU assays were done at 48-hour intervals to monitor viability. The data presented in panels A and B are mean ± standard deviation. The data presented in panels C to F are mean with range. Each dot represents data collected from independent replicates.
