C. albicans tracheobronchial colonization in mice and dose-dependent pathophysiological effects. A. C. albicans clearance from lungs. C. albicans loads in lungs two days after the intratracheal instillation of 1 × 105 and 1 × 106 CFU/mouse. CFU were counted on YPD plates. The data are means ± standard error (SE) (indicated by error bars). n = 5 mice per group. B. Effect of C. albicans on alveolar-capillary barrier permeability. Evaluation of endothelial permeability (EP) of the alveolar-capillary barrier to 125I-labeled bovine serum albumin two days after the intratracheal instillation of 1 × 105 and 1 × 106 CFU/mouse of C. albicans. The data are means ± SE (indicated by error bars). n = 5 mice per group.
