Fluorescent Micrograph of <em>Salmonella</em> in the Brain of a Mouse

Caption

This fluorescent micrograph shows detection of Salmonella (red) in macrophages (green) and other immune cells in the ventricles of the brain of a mouse orally fed Salmonella. Salmonella-infected areas were associated with an increase of cells (blue nucleus) in the ventricles and meninges of the brain, a hallmark of bacterial meningitis.
