↵a Each value represents the mean of ≥3 biological repeats, with 2 to 5 technical repeats per assay. The values are given in μM or, where indicated with an asterisk, μg/ml. Values in parentheses are means ± SEM.
↵b The MIC value is the lowest concentration in assay that resulted in visible C. albicans planktonic cell death compared to the growth control. MICmax values were calculated from dose-response curves, according to Rautenbach et al. (46), for statistical analyses.
↵c Lowest concentration in assay that prevents 50% planktonic cell growth, as derived from dose-response curves for statistical analyses (46).
↵d The BIC value is the lowest concentration in assay that prevented visible biofilm formation compared to the growth control. BICmax values were calculated from dose-response curves, according to Rautenbach et al. (46), for statistical analyses.
↵e Lowest concentration in assay that prevents biofilm formation by 50%, as derived from dose-response curves for statistical analyses (46).
↵f Lowest concentration in assay that eradicates 50% of the biofilm cells, as derived from dose-response curves for statistical analyses (46).
↵g ND, not determined.
