Expression levels of virulence-related genes in biofilms of C. albicans HLC54 (HM) grown on SB discs in the presence or absence of human serum.

Samples were taken during the adhesion phase (90 min) and biofilm growth (24 h and 48 h). Results are the mean ± SD values of three independent experiments.ns : p>0.05;*p**p***pThe arrows refer to up/down regulation of mRNA expression levels of virulence genes of C. albicans HLC54 (HM) in the presence of human serum relative to the mRNA expression levels devoid of serum.
