Pathologic changes in the rats kidneys infected with UPEC. a Control uninfected rat; b hemolytic non-toxin harbouring E. coli isolate 13β (hly+ cnf 1− clbA− clbQ−); c1, c2 hemolytic toxin producing E. coli isolate 6β (hly+ cnf 1+ clbA+ clbQ+); d non-hemolytic non-toxin harbouring E. coli isolate 67 (hly− cnf 1− clbA− clbQ−). Letters G, T and IF refer to Glomeruli, Tuft and inflammatory cells infiltration, respectively. The arrows in b and c1, indicate congestion of the blood vessels.
