Variation of fungal burden of blood (A) and kidney (B) in rat model of disseminated candidiasis at various time intervals upon treatment with extract Olax subscorpioidea and nystatin. Animals were infected intravenously with 10⁶ cells/mL(Candida albicans) and were treated for three consecutive days with saline, extract (0.5, 1 and 2 g/kg of bw) and nystatin (10 mg/kg of bw). The fungal burden was assessed by determining the number of cfu.
