File:Histopathology of a blood clot with postmortem bacterial growth.jpg|'''Postmortem bacterial growth''' is often seen in autopsy, generally as basophilic and equally sized tiny granules. The absence of inflammation indicates that it is a postmortem change (such as leukocytes being commensurate with red blood cells as in this image of bacteria within the fibrin of a postmortem blood clot).

File:Histopathology of liver with cocci and granulomatous inflammation.jpg|A true '''bacterial infection''', on the other hand, is expected to have a presence of leukocytes, or as in this case, a monocytic and histiocytic granuloma surrounding the bacteria.
