What Are the Types of Bacterial Infections Seen in Histology?
Various types of bacterial infections can be identified histologically, including:
Pyogenic infections: Characterized by pus formation, often caused by Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. Granulomatous infections: Associated with chronic infections like tuberculosis, where granulomas, or organized collections of macrophages, are present. Necrotizing infections: Seen in conditions like necrotizing fasciitis, leading to widespread tissue necrosis.
