Fig. 1. Histological study of wounds modeled in rats. (A–C) Histological slices of animals in the control group (group 1) sacrificed at different stages of the experiment: (A) on day 3; (B) on day 10; (C) on day 14. (D–F) Histological slices of animals in group 2 (additional treatment with 10 % cefazolin) sacrificed at different stages of the experiment: (D) on day 3; (E) on day 10; (F) on day 14. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, ×280
