Histopathological changes (HE, ×200). H&E staining of the harvested uterine tissues. (a) Control group (CG), in which the mice were not treated. (b) S. aureus-infected group (S. aureus), in which the mice were infected with S. aureus. (c) Dexamethasone group (DEX), in which the mice inoculated with S. aureus and developed endometritis were treated with DEX. (d)–(f) IFN-τ groups, in which the mice inoculated with S. aureus and developed endometritis were treated with different concentrations of IFN-τ (2, 4, 8 mg/kg).
