    FIG. 1.

    Comparison of the colonization intensities (polyurethane central venous catheters) of C. albicans strains with the following genotypes: isogenic wild-type (CAI4), efg1/efg1 (HLC67) and cph1/cph1 (JKC18) single mutants, efg1/efg1 cph1/cph1 double mutant (HLC69), and efg1/efg1 cph1/cph1 with the wild-type EFG1 gene (HLC84). Counts were analyzed by nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance on ranks by using Dunn's pairwise multiple-comparison technique (Sigmastat statistical software, version 2.0; SPSS Science, Chicago, Ill.).

    Scanning electron micrographs (magnification, ×1,000) of exterior catheter lumens exposed to the wild-type (CAI4) and efg1/efg1cph1/cph1 double-mutant (HLC69) C. albicans strains.
