Greetings Card : E. coli 0157: H7 bacteria
Cards from Science Photo Library
E. coli 0157: H7 bacteria
E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 bacteria, cause of foodborne illness. This E.coli strain was responsible for the outbreak of food poisoning in Scotland in 1996, when over a dozen people died and hundreds were taken ill. It causes bloody diarrhoea and occasionally kidney failure, particularly in the elderly and very young. The strain originates from the intestines of some cattle and spreads to contaminate beef and milk. Pasteurisation of milk and thorough cooking of all meat helps to prevent its transmission. Magnification: x26, 500 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria, a notorious cause of foodborne illness. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) provides a detailed view of these harmful bacteria, which were responsible for a devastating outbreak in Scotland back in 1996. During this outbreak, over a dozen lives were lost and hundreds fell ill due to the consumption of contaminated food. E. coli 0157:H7 is particularly dangerous as it can lead to bloody diarrhea and even kidney failure, especially among vulnerable populations such as the elderly and young children. Originating from the intestines of some cattle, this strain easily contaminates beef and milk products. To combat its transmission, pasteurization of milk and thorough cooking of all meat are crucial preventive measures. This magnified image at x26,500 reveals intricate details about this pathogenic bacterium's structure and serves as an essential tool for bacteriology research. The photograph not only highlights the significance of microbiology but also sheds light on the importance of understanding bacterial pathogens that cause gastroenteritis and other related illnesses. By studying microbes like E. coli 0157:H7 closely through SEM images like this one, scientists can gain valuable insights into their behavior and develop effective strategies to prevent future outbreaks.
