Histological analyses of kidney tissue sections. (E) Kidney section of rats inoculated with S. aureus and co-treated with the UTIQQ (LD) showing minimal dilatation/degeneration of tubules (arrow). The presence of majority of the tubules in the adjacent areas showed no significant pathological changes. (F) Kidney section of the rats inoculated with S. aureus and co-treated with - UTIQQ (HD) revealed moderate lympho-plasmacytic cell infiltration (arrow). (G) Kidney section of the rat inoculated with S. aureus and co-treated with the combinatorial drugs, gentamicin and UTIQQ (LD) showed mild hyperplasia of the urothelium (arrow) and minimal amount of mononuclear cell infiltrates. (H) Kidney section of the rats inoculated with S. aureus and co-treated with gentamicin and UTIQQ (HD) having minimal dilatation/degeneration of tubules with no significant inflammatory changes. (Gentamicin, LD, 8 mg/kg and HD, 50 mg/kg; Hybrid molecule UTIQQ, LD, 16 mg/kg and HD, 64 mg/kg).
