C. gattii organ load determination.
Male, BALB/c mice were infected intranasally with 1×105 C. gattii yeast cells intranasally. After one and two weeks post-infection, lungs and brains from three infected mice were removed asceptically and fungal load was determined by CFU enumeration as described in materials and methods. The bar diagram represents mean ± SD of CFU per gram of lung tissues obtained from three mice each for different C. gattii strains.
