(A) Representative histopathology analysis of thigh muscular tissue showing inflammatory response to sterile turpentine oil injection at Day 3 and 5 post-inoculation. All the turpentine-induced tissue lesions are identical, presenting severe necrotic tissue areas (Nec) and the infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages (area marked Infiltr *) within adipose and striated muscle (StM). (B) Corresponding Gram-stained sections of thigh muscular tissue at Day 3 and 5 post-inoculation with turpentine oil showing the absence of bacterial strains.
