Histopathological examination of livers. Mice that had been orally inoculated with PBS (A, B), HV-negative strain 1084 (C, D), or HV-positive strain 1112 (E, F) (in diabetic mice) (A, C, E) with inoculums of 105 CFU or in naive mice with inoculums of 108 CFU (B, D, F) were euthanized at seven days post-inoculation. Arrows indicate the area of PMN infiltration and aggregation (100 × magnification). Scale bar represents a distance of 1 μm.
