Poster Print : Clostridium tetani bacterium
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Clostridium tetani bacterium
False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the bacterium Clostridium tetani, a Gram- positive, spore-forming, anaerobic bacillus (rod-shaped bacterium) that causes tetanus. Members of the Clostridium genus exist as soil saprophytes and as intestinal parasites of animals, giving rise to serious human diseases, including botulism, gas gangrene and severe intestinal infections, in addition to tetanus. Incidence of tetanus is common in societies where bare-footed humans live in close association with cattle & other domesticated animals, although the disease may result from trivial wounds to the skin

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print
Discover the intricacy of life with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the mesmerizing false-color Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of Clostridium tetani bacterium. Witness the anatomy of this Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic bacillus (rod-shaped bacterium) up close. This captivating print showcases the bacterium responsible for causing tetanus, revealing its complex structure and unique characteristics. Ideal for scientific laboratories, educational institutions, or any space that appreciates the beauty of microscopic life.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the notorious bacterium Clostridium tetani. This Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic bacillus is responsible for causing the debilitating disease known as tetanus or lockjaw. Belonging to the Clostridium genus, this bacterium exists both as soil saprophytes and intestinal parasites in animals. However, its impact on human health is far from benign. In addition to tetanus, these bacteria can give rise to severe diseases such as botulism, gas gangrene, and life-threatening intestinal infections. The incidence of tetanus tends to be more prevalent in societies where humans live closely with domesticated animals like cattle. Interestingly enough, even minor skin wounds can lead to this condition if exposed to the bacteria. Through this magnified image captured using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we gain an extraordinary glimpse into the world of these microscopic organisms that have significant implications for public health. The intricate details revealed by this photograph highlight the rod-shaped structure and distinct features of Clostridium tetani. Science Photo Library brings us yet another remarkable scientific visual that not only educates but also sparks curiosity about our complex microbial world.
