Histopathological analyses of genital tissues of chlamydia-infected mice untreated or treated with oxytetracycline following intravaginal infection. Inflammatory scores were recorded for the cervix, uterus, and oviduct following infection. Panels: A, 6 days postchallenge; B, 12 days postchallenge. The scores shown are the mean inflammatory scores of tissues from three separate mice at each time point. Inflammation scores (0 to 4+) were assigned by a veterinary pathologist as described in Materials and Methods.
