Figure 2.

Systemic infection of zebrafish larvae with ECE1-deficient Candida albicans show improved survival compared with wild-type or ece1Δ/Δ+ECE1-infected zebrafish. (A) Zebrafish survival 24 hours after injection of 500 colony-forming unit of wild-type, ece1Δ/Δ, ece1Δ/Δ+ECE1, als3Δ/Δ or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as control directly into the cardinal vein. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 4 independent experiments with at least 20 zebrafish per treatment group); statistical analysis was achieved using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey’s post hoc multiple comparison test. **, P < .01; and ***, P < .001. (B) Sagittal histological sections of periodic acid-Schiff-stained infected zebrafish showing the hyphal form of C albicans penetrating zebrafish tissue for wild-type, ece1Δ/Δ and ece1Δ/Δ+ECE1 strains compared with PBS-injected controls. Scale bars = 100 μm.
