Results of histologic testing of samples from a domestic rabbit with Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis infection, Germany A) Hematoxylin and eosin stain reveals multifocal severe granulomatous enteritis in the ileum with focally extensive necrosis (asterisk) and numerous surrounding macrophages (arrowhead). Scale bar indicates 300 µm. B) Ziehl-Neelsen stain shows numerous acid-fast bacilli in the cytoplasm of macrophages and multinucleated giant cells (arrowheads). Scale bar indicates 20 µm
