[Organic pathomorphological changes in animals with dietary infection by food products contaminated by Bacillus...

The authors noticed marked vascular disorders in the capillary system, focal hemorrhages, and inflammatory, largely proliferative reactions in the stroma coupled with dystrophic and necrotic changes in parenchymal elements. The changes were found to be the most pronounced in the intestine, liver, myocardium, and in brain tissue. The degree of the lesions depended on the microorganism dosage. Provided the food contained 10(9)/g Bac. cereus, the injuring action was recorded to be more powerful, which manifested in the increased extent of vascular disorders with the hemorrhagic manifestations, thrombus formation in the vessels of the brain, heart, lungs, stomach and intestine, augmentation of dystrophic changes in organ parenchymal elements.
