Histological changes in the cecum of rats infected with E. moshkovskii. A Transverse cecum section of infected rat with E. moshkovskii 7 days post-infection. Showed dissociation and degeneration in the mucosal layer(M) and heavy infiltration of inflammatory cells (F). H&E stain ×98. B Transverse cecum section of infected rat with E. moshkovskii 14 days post-infection. Showed mild inflammation (F) dissociation and degeneration in the mucosal layer (M). H&E stain ×98. C Transverse cecum section of infected rat with E. moshkovskii 28 days post-infection. Showed gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) within submucosa, heavy infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lamina propria (F), dilated blood vessel (B), and lymphocytes (LY). H&E stain ×98
