Photographic Print : TEM of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
TEM of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria
False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumono- coccus), a spherical, Gram-positive bacterium associated with pneumonia in humans. The bacteria secrete a viscous material to form a capsule around their cell wall. The role of the capsule is uncertain, but is associated with virulence in pathogenic organisms, conveying protection against the immune system of the host. Capsulated organisms resist phagocytosis (engulfing) by white blood cells and may survive digestion by scavengers cells, continuing to multiply normally. Magnification: x30, 000 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-color transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, commonly known as pneumococcus. These spherical, Gram-positive bacteria are notorious for causing pneumonia in humans. The image reveals the intricate structure of these pathogens and highlights their unique defense mechanism. The bacterium secretes a thick, viscous substance that forms a protective capsule around its cell wall. Although the exact role of this capsule remains uncertain, it is closely associated with the virulence of pathogenic organisms. By enveloping themselves in this capsule, capsulated organisms can resist engulfment by white blood cells and evade digestion by scavenger cells within the host's immune system. At an impressive magnification level of x30,000 on a 6x7cm size print, every detail becomes apparent to the viewer's eye. This TEM image offers valuable insights into the world of microbiology and bacterial behavior. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's wonders through their lens, providing us with an opportunity to marvel at these microscopic creatures that have such significant impacts on human health. Whether you're fascinated by bacteriology or simply intrigued by scientific imagery, this print serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within our microbial world.
