Displacement of Lactobacillus gasseri by Candida albicans obtained through initial adhesion assays. Displacement of L. gasseri by C. albicans after initial adhesion treatments with the experimental setting of high and low inoculum in the glass surface. The percentage of adhesion of L. gasseri is the result of the variation in the adhesion of L. gasseri and C. albicans strains to coverslip in comparison to controls (CT, 100% of adhesion) when incubated alone at the same conditions. Statistical analysis: *P < 0.05 when using t-student statistical analysis (95% confidence interval) for comparison of lactobacilli control and sample tested in the adhesion assay; ^†P < 0.05 analyzed using two-tailed ANOVA statistical test (95% confidence interval) for comparison of displacement values from all lactobacilli strains induced by a certain C. albicans isolate tested in the adhesion assay; ^‡P < 0.05 analyzed using two-tailed ANOVA statistical test (95% confidence interval) for comparison of displacement values from a certain strain of lactobacilli among all C. albicans isolates tested in the adhesion assay
