What Histological Changes are Associated with Escherichia coli Infection?
Infections caused by pathogenic E. coli can result in several histological changes. In the intestines, E. coli infection can lead to inflammation, characterized by the infiltration of immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages. This can cause tissue edema, necrosis, and the formation of ulcers. In severe cases, the infection can spread to other organs, leading to systemic effects.
