Time kill curve of EOMS and TTO against Candida albicans gLUC59. Cells were untreated (control) or treated with 0.39, 0.78, 1.56, or 3.12 g/L of EOMS or treated with 3.12, 6.25, 12.5 or 25 g/L of TTO for different time periods (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 and 48 hours). After incubation survival cells were determined by cultivation on Sabouraud dextrose agar plates at 37°C for 48 h. Results are expressed as CFU/ml and indicated as mean ± SEM of triplicate samples. Data are representative of one of three independent experiments. The statistical significance was evaluated with the Student's t-test (two-tailed). * P-values of < 0.05 were considered significant.
