FIGURE 6: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) performed for all morphologies/growth (yeasts, filaments, and biofilms) involving the methods of cells/mL, CFU/mL, and vPCR (A) and also only for biofilms to include the XTT assay (B). After Oblimin rotation, PCA showed that cells/mL and CFU/mL were more similar to each other and loaded highly on component 1, while vPCR was a different method and loaded highly on component 2 for all morphologies/growths (C); for biofilms, vPCR became more similar to CFU/mL and cells/mL and loaded highly on component 1, while XTT was the most distinct method loading highly on component 2.
