Art of colony of Staphylococcus bacteria
Bacteria colony. Illustration of a colony of Staphylococcus aureus, a species of spherical, Gram positive, non-motile bacteria. Typically this bacteria is found in grape-like clusters. In the foreground, one bacterium is cut through to show: cell wall (outer purple), plasma membrane (white line), nucleoid of genetic material (purple), and granules in the cytoplasm (red). Staphylococcus species secrete exotoxins and many cause disease in humans: S. aureus is found on skin and mucous membranes. It causes boils and internal abscesses, and is the commonest cause of pyogenic (pus- forming) infections. Sometimes present harmlessly in the body, treatment is with antibiotic drugs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artistry of a colony of Staphylococcus bacteria. The illustration depicts Staphylococcus aureus, a species known for its spherical shape, Gram-positive nature, and lack of motility. As commonly observed, these bacteria form clusters resembling grapes. In the foreground, one bacterium is meticulously dissected to reveal its inner components. The outer layer, represented by a vibrant purple hue, signifies the cell wall that provides structural support and protection. Adjacent to it lies the plasma membrane depicted as a crisp white line - an essential barrier regulating molecular exchange with its surroundings. The nucleoid region appears in striking purple tones symbolizing genetic material crucial for bacterial replication and survival. Notably visible within the cytoplasm are granules portrayed in vivid red shades representing various cellular components or storage materials vital for metabolic processes. Staphylococcus species possess remarkable abilities to secrete exotoxins which often lead to diseases in humans. Staphylococcus aureus specifically thrives on skin and mucous membranes causing ailments like boils and internal abscesses while being responsible for most pyogenic infections characterized by pus formation. Although sometimes innocuously present within our bodies, treatment typically involves antibiotic drugs targeting these resilient microorganisms. This mesmerizing artwork serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic masterpiece capturing the beauty hidden within microscopic life forms such as bacteria.
