Level of cell survival after different stress treatments in <i>C. parapsilosis</i> strains.

<p>YPD-grown cultures of exponential <i>C. parapsilosis</i> wild type (WT), its isogenic mutant (KO), deficient in <i>CpATC1</i> gene, and the reintegrant (RE) strains were adjusted to a cell density of 1.0×10⁶ cells/ml and subjected to the following stress challenges for 1h: 5 mM H₂0₂, 50 mM H₂0₂, 1.2 M NaCl or 42°C. Identical, untreated samples were maintained at 30°C as a control. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of one representative experiment of two performed in triplicate. Student t-test: *P<0.05; **P<0.01 between WT and RE or KO strains.
