Figure 8.
Representative photographs of lung tissue sections from male BALB/c mice infected with S. aureus. In the control group and 24 hours after infection, we observed clear alveoli without cellular infiltration. However, there was a marked hyperemia with more pronounced enlargement of the alveolar septa between 48 and 96 hours. It was less pronounced, but still present, at 144 hours and 168 hours. Arrows indicate enlarged alveolar septa.
