Histopathological examinations of the lung (A1, A2), liver (B1, B2), and spleen (C1, C2) in unimmunized and passively immunized mice challenged with A. baumannii. The bacterial challenge caused an increasing number of neutrophils around the peribronchial and perivascular areas in unimmunized mouse lungs (A1) while immunized mice revealed moderate inflammation with infiltration of mixed mononuclear cells and neutrophils (A2). The livers of unimmunized mice show inflammation and necrosis (B1). In contrast, the livers from immunized mice showed no significant pathology (B2). The spleen of unimmunized mice showed hyperplasia of the white pulp and higher neutrophils (C1) as against the normal structure retained in the immunized group (C2)
