Canvas Print : Clostridium tetani bacterial spore
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Clostridium tetani bacterial spore
False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a Clostridium tetani bacterial spore. The bacterium causes tetanus (lockjaw). Here, a thick- walled endospore has developed with many membranes forming its coat (purple). This is a resting phase of the bacteria induced by adverse conditions, and the spore will germinate when conditions become favourable. C. tetani exists in soil and harmlessly in the intestine of man and domestic animals; it becomes pathogenic when introduced into a wound. The disease of tetanus, sometimes fatal, leads to painful muscle spasms & stiffness. Vaccination is effective. Magnification: x8, 500 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Clostridium tetani bacterial spore, captured using false-color transmission electron microscopy. The image reveals a thick-walled endospore enveloped by multiple membranes, forming a distinct purple coat. This dormant phase is triggered by unfavorable conditions and will only germinate when circumstances become favorable once again. Clostridium tetani is responsible for causing the debilitating condition known as tetanus or lockjaw. While it typically exists harmlessly in soil and the intestines of humans and domestic animals, it becomes pathogenic when introduced into an open wound. Tetanus can be a life-threatening disease characterized by excruciating muscle spasms and stiffness. Vaccination against C. tetani has proven to be highly effective in preventing this potentially fatal illness. By highlighting the microscopic world of bacteria, this photograph offers valuable insights into the nature of these microorganisms that can both coexist with us peacefully or wreak havoc on our bodies under certain circumstances. With its magnification at x8,500 and printed at 6x7cm size, this stunning image from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of the complex beauty found within even the tiniest forms of life while also emphasizing the importance of understanding and combating harmful microbes like C. tetani through scientific research and medical advancements.
