Acinetobacter sp. bacteria
Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a colony of Acinetobacter sp. a species of non- motile, non-sporing, Gram negative bacteria belonging to the Neisseriaceae group. Individual members are often encapsulated, and may occur in pairs; size varies from 0. 5 to 1. 5 micrometers. The central bacillus (rod-shaped bacterium) is seen in longitudinal section. The bacteria may become pathogenic to humans and animals, causing a wide range of infections, including septicaemia and urinary tract infection. Magnification: X 15, 000 at 35mm, x30, 000 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a colony of Acinetobacter sp. bacteria. Belonging to the Neisseriaceae group, these non-motile, non-sporing, Gram-negative bacteria are individually encapsulated and often occur in pairs. Ranging in size from 0.5 to 1.5 micrometers, this image provides a longitudinal section view of the central bacillus (rod-shaped bacterium). While visually stunning, it is important to note that Acinetobacter sp. can pose health risks as they have the potential to become pathogenic for both humans and animals alike. These resilient bacteria are known to cause various infections such as septicaemia and urinary tract infections. With an impressive magnification power of X15,000 at 35mm or X30,000 at 6x7cm size, this photograph offers an intricate glimpse into the microscopic world of bacterial life. The detailed imagery allows scientists and researchers in fields like bacteriology and microbiology to study these microbes more closely. This particular print is part of Science Photo Library's extensive collection on transmission electron microscopy (TEM), showcasing diverse microorganisms with incredible clarity and precision. It serves as a reminder of the vast complexity that exists within our natural world – even at scales invisible to the naked eye – while also highlighting potential threats posed by certain bacterial species like Acinetobacter sp.
