Histopathologic appearance of the tissues of the experimental mink. (D1) Lung tissue taken from a mink died from K. pneumoniae-SD-12 infection on days 5 p.i., characterized by bleeding and congesting of the lung breakage. (D2) Lung tissue taken from a mink died from K. pneumoniae-SD-21 infection on days 5 p.i., characterized by bleeding of the lung breakage. (D3) Lung tissue from a euthanized mink inoculated with 0.9% NaCl solution on days 5 p.i. (E1) Liver tissue taken from a mink died from K. pneumoniae-SD-12 infection on days 5 p.i., characterized by congesting and steatosis of the liver breakage. (E2) Liver tissue taken from a mink died from K. pneumoniae-SD-21 infection on days 5 p.i., characterized by congesting and steatosis of the liver breakage. (E3) Liver tissue from a euthanized mink inoculated with 0.9% NaCl solution on days 5 p.i. (F1) Brain tissue taken from a mink died from K. pneumoniae-SD-12 infection on days 5 p.i., characterized by light bleeding and edema of the brain breakage. (F2) Brain tissue taken from a mink died from K. pneumoniae-SD-21 infection on days 5 p.i., characterized by light bleeding and edema of the brain breakage. (F3) Brain tissue from a euthanized mink inoculated with 0.9% NaCl solution on days 5 p.i. HE stain. Original magnification was × 200 for all images.
