Enterobacteria are a diverse group of bacteria that includes well-known pathogens such as Yersinia pestis, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli (E. Coli). These microscopic organisms can be seen in stunning detail through electron microscopy techniques like transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In a coloured TEM image, Yersinia pestis bacteria reveal their distinct features. This bacterium is responsible for causing the deadly disease known as the plague. Another coloured TEM image showcases an E. Coli bacterium, highlighting its intricate structure. E. Coli is a common inhabitant of the human gut but certain strains can cause severe foodborne illnesses. Similarly, a coloured SEM image captures the beauty of a Salmonella bacterium with its unique shape and surface features. Salmonella is notorious for causing gastrointestinal infections in humans. The TEM view of an E. Coli 0157:H7 bacterium reveals its characteristic rod-like shape and flagella that aid in movement. This strain is particularly dangerous due to its ability to produce toxins that can lead to severe illness. A captivating SEM image displays Escherichia coli bacteria clustered together, showcasing their individual shapes and sizes within this community. The HK97 bacteriophage capsid steals the spotlight in another visual masterpiece captured by TEM imaging technique. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria specifically; they have complex structures allowing them to inject their genetic material into bacterial cells. SEM images provide detailed views of E. coli bacteria at different magnifications - C014/0385 and C014/0386 show these microorganisms from various angles, emphasizing their distinctive appearance under high-resolution imaging techniques. These captivating images offer us glimpses into the fascinating world – tiny yet powerful organisms that play significant roles both as beneficial inhabitants or harmful pathogens within our environment and bodies.
