Antibiotic action on Escherichia coli
Antibiotic lysis of a bacterium. Artwork of an antibiotic drug acting on an Escherichia coli bacterium, causing it to burst (lysis) and lose its DNA. The bacterial cell is at centre (oval). Inside the cell is the nuclear material (purple, coiled). This has been ruptured due to drug action (represented by coloured band at upper right), causing the chromosome material (purple strands) containing DNA to burst from the cell. Uncoiling of the DNA prevents the bacterium from dividing before it dies. The antibiotic drugs include penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics and are used to treat bacterial infections

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork depicts the powerful action of antibiotics on Escherichia coli, a common bacterium. At the center of the image, we see an oval-shaped bacterial cell representing Escherichia coli. Inside this cell lies its nuclear material, coiled and colored in purple. However, due to the drug's intervention represented by a band at the upper right corner, chaos ensues. The antibiotic drugs showcased here include penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics – renowned for their efficacy in treating bacterial infections. As these drugs take effect on Escherichia coli, they cause it to burst open (lysis) dramatically. The rupture leads to the release of chromosome material containing DNA from within the bacterium. The uncoiling of DNA strands prevents further division of this microbe before its ultimate demise. This extraordinary visual representation highlights how antibiotics disrupt vital cellular processes within bacteria, ultimately leading to their destruction. Through this artwork created by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both scientific knowledge and artistic expression intertwined beautifully. It serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous battle against harmful bacteria and our ongoing quest for effective treatments against infectious diseases.
