Antimicrobial activity of MUC7 12-mer against C. albicans in the presence of potassium, monitored by flow cytometry. Fluorescence distribution of the control (untreated) C. albicans cells (a); cells incubated for 90 min at 37°C with 25 μM MUC7 12-mer (b-d), in the absence of KCl (b), in the presence of 40 mM KCl (c), in the presence of 80 mM KCl (d). The cells were stained with propidium iodide (3 μg/mL). Susceptibility to MUC7 12-mer is shown as percentage of C. albicans with increasing fluorescence; 10,000 events were analyzed.
