Candida albicans colonization and body weight in mice challenged with C. albicans. a Number of C. albicans colony forming units (CFU) recovered from stools. A single inoculum of 10⁷ C. albicans was administered to mice on day 1. A total of 40 mice were divided into four groups composed of wild-type Candida (WT, n = 10), TLR1^−/− Candida (n = 10), TLR2^−/− Candida (n = 10), and TLR6^−/− Candida (n = 10). Data are mean ± SE of two independent experiments. b Mouse body weight. There were no differences between wild-type and TLR deficient mice in terms of body weight changes. Data are mean ± SE of two independent experiments
