Transmission electron micrograph of scratch-injured and infected mouse cornea after 24 h of incubation with P. aeruginosa invasive strain 6294. (A) Scratched area where the basement membrane had been breached (1, 2) and the stroma infiltrated by PMNs. (B) Section showing discontinuous and intact basement membrane, the former correlating with bacterial and PMN infiltration of the stroma. (C to E) Different sections peripheral to the scratched area showing intact basement membrane and the absence of bacterial infiltration of the stroma.
