Survival in experimental Candida albicans infections depends on inoculum growth conditions as well as animal host.

Abstract excerpt

Evidence is presented that the growth medium used to prepare a Candida albicans challenge inoculum is a significant factor determining the ability of a fungus strain to gain an initial invasive hold immediately after injection into an animal host, and thus determining gross strain lethality. Three C. albicans strains, one known to be attenuated in virulence, were grown in two broth media and injected...
