Glass Frame : S. maltophilia bacterium, TEM
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
S. maltophilia bacterium, TEM
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacterium, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This aerobic Gram-negative bacterium, previously known as Pseudomonas maltophilia, can cause infections in humans and is resistant to many antibiotics. It thrives in wet and moist conditions, and mainly affects patients whose immune systems have been compromised by infection or weakness. Magnification: x20, 500 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the S. maltophilia bacterium, a formidable microorganism that can cause infections in humans and is notorious for its resistance to multiple antibiotics. The image, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), reveals the intricate details of this aerobic Gram-negative bacterium, previously known as Pseudomonas maltophilia. The vibrant colors used to highlight specific structures within the bacterium bring attention to its flagellum - a whip-like appendage responsible for its motility. This pathogenic organism thrives in damp environments, making it particularly dangerous for individuals with compromised immune systems due to infection or weakness. With an impressive magnification of x20,500 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers a glimpse into the microscopic world of bacteria. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against hospital-acquired infections and drug-resistant superbugs. As researchers continue their efforts to combat antibiotic resistance and develop new treatment strategies, images like these provide valuable insights into the biology and behavior of harmful pathogens. This particular print from Science Photo Library not only captures scientific curiosity but also highlights the urgent need for effective infection control measures in healthcare settings worldwide.
