This Table depicts the presence of hyphae following 4 and 8 h treatments of C. albicans with and without KSL-W or amphotericin B. (–) refers to the absence hyphae form, and (++) refers to the presence high number of hyphae forms. These data were estimated after evaluation over 20 fields from each culture condition, by two independent and blinded examiners.
