Strains of C. albicans (ATCC 90028) and C. glabrata (ATCC 2001) were cultivated aerobically on Sabouraud Dextrose (Merck KGaA, Germany) agar at 37 °C. Cell suspensions were grown in RPMI 1640 (Inlab diagnóstica, Brazil) during 24 h at 37 °C. Before experiments, cells were centrifuged (5000 g for 5 min), washed twice with sterile saline, and suspended in RPMI 1640 medium. Suspensions were standardized at OD600 = 1.0 (1 × 106 cells/mL) (LGL Scientific 0741/16, Brazil), based in experiments described previously with some adaptations [22 (link)].
