Lobule area percentages occupied by luminal space, epithelium, and intralobular stroma in experimental quarters. Mammary tissues were collected from 18 saline and 18 Staph. aureus infused quarters and 8 representative lobules from each quarter were used to quantify lobule areas occupied by intralobular stroma, epithelium, and luminal space. Error bars represent the standard error of the respective mean percentages. Dagger symbol and asterisks denote differences between saline and Staph. aureus quarter treatments within tissue structures; †P = 0.1, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001.
