Filastatin inhibits attachment of C. albicans to bioactive glass. C. albicans was incubated in varying concentrations of Filastatin in 24 well plates containing bioactive glass coupons. a Direct cell counts were obtained by propidium iodide and Syto9® staining. Black bars represent the number of wild type cells (control) or non-adherent cells (edt1 −/−) that attach to untreated bioactive glass. Grey and white bars represent wild-type cells treated with varying concentrations of Filastatin. Standard error bars displayed, p < 0.0001. b Crystal violet staining to determine adhered cells to the surface of bioactive glass coupons
