Glass Frame : Art of a Salmonella-like bacterium
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Art of a Salmonella-like bacterium
Salmonella-like bacterium. Illustration of a rod- shaped bacterium with numerous flagellae, as seen under an electron microscope. It closely resembles Salmonella sp. the bacteria largely responsible for food poisoning in humans (salmonellosis). One species of Salmonella causes typhoid fever. The hair-like flagellae are used for motility. When large numbers of Salmonella sp. are eaten with contaminated food, particularly meat, milk and eggs, they produce a gastro-intestinal infection which in some cases can be fatal. Symptoms of salmonellosis include vomiting, diarrhoea, nausea and abdominal pain. Magnification: unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artistry of a Salmonella-like bacterium, as observed through an electron microscope. The rod-shaped bacterium is adorned with numerous flagellae, resembling the notorious Salmonella sp. , which is widely known for causing food poisoning in humans. Salmonellosis, a gastrointestinal infection caused by consuming contaminated food such as meat, milk, and eggs teeming with these bacteria, can have severe consequences including fatality. This artwork serves as a visual reminder of the potential dangers lurking within our food sources. Under magnification that remains unknown to us, this illustration highlights the hair-like flagellae responsible for motility in these bacterial organisms. It is fascinating to witness how microscopic structures like these enable bacteria to move and thrive within their environment. The symptoms associated with salmonellosis are vividly depicted here - vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain - serving as a stark reminder of the havoc this bacterium can wreak on our bodies. As we delve into the realm of microbiology and bacteriology through this mesmerizing piece of art from Science Photo Library's collection, we gain insight into the world of microorganisms that impact our lives significantly. Let us appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and educational value while acknowledging its role in raising awareness about public health concerns related to Salmonella infections.
