Figure 5: (a) Representative scanning electron photomicrograph showing candidal colonization prior to treatment with chlorine dioxide. b and c are representative scanning electron photomicrographs of biofilm remaining after treatment with chlorine dioxide for 20 minutes in stationary and starvation phases respectively. Arrows indicate candidal cells (CC) and psuedohyphal cells (PH) in stationary phase. Encircled area shows eroded surface of biofilm after treatment with chlorine dioxide in stationary phase. In picture C, arrow indicates irregular surface of biofilm after treatment with chlorine dioxide for 20 minutes at starvation phase |
