Histological changes following oral administration of B. amyloliquefaciens (BA) or BA-nanoparticles (BANPs) in non-colitic and colitic rats. Non-colitic groups including Control (a,b), BA (c,d) and BANPs (e–g) groups. While, colitic groups include DSS (h,j), DSS + BA (k,l) and DSS + BANPs (m,n) groups. Red rectangle = magnification of selected area, Arrow = normal colon crypt structure, black triangle = normal muscularis mucosa layer, yellow circle = diffuse leukocytic infiltration, zigzag arrow = desquamated colon epithelium, thick yellow arrow = mucosal abscess within the colonic crypts, arrow head = apparently normal colon crypts with increased number of goblet cells, star = prominent lymphoid aggregation within the submucosa.
