Figure 2

PBS, B. bacteriovorus, M. aeruginosavorus, or K. pneumoniae were introduced into the colons of SD rats via intrarectal inoculation. Histological examination of rat colons revealed no pathological abnormalities compared to rats inoculated with the control, PBS. All images are representative micrographs taken at 24 hours and 7 days post-inoculation and at 40X total magnification.
