How Are Commensal Microorganisms Studied in Histology?
Studying commensal microorganisms in histology involves various techniques such as histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and advanced imaging methods like confocal microscopy. These techniques help visualize the microorganisms and their interactions with host tissues. For example, immunohistochemistry can be used to detect specific bacterial antigens in tissue sections, providing insights into the spatial distribution and abundance of commensal microorganisms.
