Diphtheriae bacterium in throat
Diphtheria bacterium. Coloured transmission electron micrograph of Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacterium in the human throat. This Gram-positive rod- shaped bacterium, sectioned through, causes diphtheria. Here, it is seen adhering to the surface of an epithelial cell (lower frame) of the throat. C. diphtheria is generally located in the throat, but may affect other mucous membranes and the skin. The throat passage may be constricted, impeding normal breathing. The multiplying bacteria release toxins into the bloodstream that damage the heart and nerves. Treatment is with antitoxin & penicillin. Vaccination is available.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the Diphtheriae bacterium, specifically Corynebacterium diphtheriae, in the human throat. The image is a coloured transmission electron micrograph that provides an up-close and detailed view of this Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium. C. diphtheria is notorious for causing diphtheria, a potentially life-threatening disease. In this image, we can observe the bacterium adhering to the surface of an epithelial cell in the lower frame of the throat. While primarily located in the throat, C. diphtheria can also affect other mucous membranes and even the skin. The consequences of a diphtheria infection are severe as it may constrict the throat passage, making normal breathing difficult or impossible. Furthermore, these multiplying bacteria release toxins into the bloodstream that can cause damage to both heart and nerves. Fortunately, there are treatment options available for those affected by this bacterial infection. Antitoxin and penicillin are commonly used to combat its effects. Additionally, vaccination against diphtheria is readily accessible as a preventive measure. With a magnification level of x36,000 at 6x4.5cm size, this print truly highlights both the beauty and danger present within our microscopic world. It serves as a reminder of how crucial scientific research and medical advancements are in combating harmful microbes like C. diphtheriae.
