Publisher's Note: ''C. Albicans'' should be ''C. albicans'', and error in Figure 2.

C. albicans
http://plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0036952#article1.body1.sec1.p1

The name C. Albicans appears incorrectly throughout the manuscript. The correct name is C. albicans.

Also, due to an issue introduced during the production process, there is an error in Figure 2. The correct Figure 2 can be seen here: http://www.plosone.org/corrections/pone.0036952.g002.cn.tif [^]
