Artwork of digestive system and harmful bacteria
Gastroenteritis. Artwork of bacteria shown below the human digestive system in which they cause gastroenteritis, the inflammation of the stomach and intestines. The stomach is at upper centre above the small intestine (at centre). The large intestine (colon), which ends at the rectum (at bottom centre), surrounds the small intestine. Various bacteria can be seen at bottom, including bacilli (rod-shaped) and cocci (circular) forms. The few bacteria that cause gastroenteritis include Escherichia coli, Listeria sp. and Salmonella sp. Food poisoning, due to contaminated food or water, is the most common form of gastroenteritis. Treatment is rarely necessary

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate relationship between our digestive system and harmful bacteria, specifically focusing on gastroenteritis. The human digestive system takes center stage in this print, with the stomach positioned at the upper center above the small intestine located in the middle. Surrounding these vital organs is the large intestine or colon, which leads to the rectum situated at bottom center. Beneath this anatomical masterpiece lies a visual representation of various bacteria responsible for causing gastroenteritis. Among them are bacilli, characterized by their rod-shaped appearance, and cocci, displaying circular forms. Notably featured are Escherichia coli, Listeria sp. , and Salmonella sp. , known culprits behind this inflammatory condition. Gastroenteritis primarily arises from consuming contaminated food or water, making it one of the most common forms of food poisoning. Although treatment is rarely necessary for mild cases, severe instances may require medical intervention. Through this thought-provoking artwork created by Science Photo Library, we gain a deeper understanding of how harmful bacteria interact with our digestive system to cause disorders like gastroenteritis. It serves as a reminder of both the fragility and resilience of our bodies while highlighting the importance of maintaining proper hygiene practices to safeguard against such infections.
