Viability of PbTufM aRNA was affected in oxidative stress condition. (A) The yeast viability of PbWT, PbEV, PbTufM aRNA treated with different concentrations of H2O2 for 1 h by CFU assay; **p < 0.005 when compared to PbWT, ##p < 0.005 when compared to PbEV and ###p < 0.0001 when compared to PbEV. (B) Interaction assay of P. brasiliensis and macrophage cells. Yeast cell viability after 2 h of macrophage infection (total infection- adhesion and invasion process; and invasion process) was evaluated based on the number of recovered CFU. *p < 0.005 when compared PbTufM aRNA with PbWT and PbEV.
