Fine Art Print : Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium
Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium, cause of tuberculosis (TB) in humans. M. tuberculosis is a rod-shaped bacillus bacteria. Here, the cell wall has split (upper right), as occurs when antibiotic drugs kill the bacterium. M. tuberculosis is spread by coughing or sneezing, and is inhaled into the lungs. It forms a primary tubercle during initial infection, which develops into pulmonary TB. TB is still a fatal disease in developing countries and among AIDS patients. Magnification: x44, 000 at 6x4.5 cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium, the notorious culprit behind tuberculosis (TB) in humans. The image reveals the rod-shaped bacillus bacteria, with a remarkable split cell wall visible in the upper right corner. This splitting occurs when antibiotic drugs successfully eliminate the bacterium from its host. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is primarily spread through coughing or sneezing, as it is easily inhaled into the lungs. Upon initial infection, it forms a primary tubercle which can develop into pulmonary TB. Despite medical advancements, TB remains a fatal disease particularly prevalent in developing countries and among AIDS patients. The magnification level of this photograph is an astounding x44,000 at 6x4.5 cm size, allowing us to appreciate intricate details that would otherwise be invisible to our naked eyes. This transmission electron micrograph provides invaluable insights into the structure and behavior of M. tuberculosis. As we observe this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both the beauty and danger presented by these microscopic organisms known as bacteria. It serves as a testament to ongoing research efforts aimed at understanding and combating infectious diseases like tuberculosis for the betterment of public health worldwide.
