Inhibitory effect of farnesol on C. auris biofilms.

CLSM analysis of C. auris strain MRL 5765 biofilms treated with farnesol at different stages of growth and development (4h, 12h and 24h). The image utilizes ConA- Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate and FUN-1 staining, a 63X oil immersion objective with magnification, X2.5. In above images structures shown in green (ConA) represent the fungal cell wall and biofilm matrix; structures in yellow-green (FUN-1) are metabolically inactive and dead cells; structures in orange-red (FUN-1) are the viable cells.
