Figure 1: (A) Histopathological features of granulomatous lesions and detection of fungal elements in tissue sections from susceptible (B10.A) and resistant (A/J) strains. The figures are representative of at least three experiments performed on different experimental days. Magnification: 100x (HE); 400x (inset, silver staining). (B) Total area of granulomatous lesions and area of the lesion with P. brasiliensis. (C) P. brasiliensis log CFU/gr of tissue from susceptible (B10.A) and resistant (A/J) strains. Results are expressed as mean ± standard error (SEM) for at least five animals. *p<0.05; ** p<0.01.
