Lactobacilli displacement and Candida albicans inhibition on initial adhesion assays: a probiotic analysis.

At ES2 and ES3, L. gasseri H59.2 showed discrepant inhibition values among C. albicans isolates (ES2: P = 0.008, ES3: P = 0.030; two-way ANOVA). L. plantarum was only displaced by 23%, 31%, 54%, and 94% against low and high levels of C. albicans ATCC10231. L. plantarum was less displaced, when compared to L. gasseri strains (ES1: 61-84%, ES2: 82-96%, ES3: 83-95%, and ES4: 73-97%), showing multiple statistical differences (ES1: P =  < 0.001, ES2: P = 0.003, and ES3: P =  < 0.001; two-way ANOVA). L. plantarum also showed a superior inhibition of C. albicans ATCC10231 in ES1 (81%) and ES2 (58%) when compared to L. gasseri strains (ES1: 27-73%, P < 0.001; and ES2:1-49%, P < 0.001; two-way ANOVA).
