Histopathological changes in lung sections. (a) Control mice lung. (b) Mice were infected with S. aureus via the intranasal route and were given the PBS. The other groups of mice were infected with S. aureus via the intranasal route and then treated as follows: (c) with ZnO NPs, (d) with Cur NPs, (e) with Au NPs, (f) with Au@ZnO NPs, and (g) with Cur-Au@ZnO NPs. Mice lungs were stained by using hematoxylin and eosin stain. Magnification power 40x.
