Bacterial skin infections, artwork
Bacterial skin infections, computer artwork. Round (green, cocci) and cylindrical (blue, bacilli) bacteria on skin, with hair shafts also seen. Human skin has a natural flora of bacteria that are not harmful. Infections are caused by pathogenic bacteria. Examples of such infections are impetigo, cellulitis, leprosy and folliculitis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of bacterial skin infections. The print features a visually stunning composition, with round green cocci and cylindrical blue bacilli bacteria scattered across human skin, accompanied by delicate hair shafts. The artwork serves as a reminder that our skin naturally harbors a diverse community of bacteria that are typically harmless. However, when pathogenic bacteria invade, they can cause various infections such as impetigo, cellulitis, leprosy, and folliculitis - all highlighted in this piece. Through its artistic portrayal, this print not only captures the beauty of microbiology but also emphasizes the importance of understanding these microscopic organisms within our bodies. It symbolizes the constant battle between harmful pathogens and our body's defense mechanisms. As we delve into the details depicted in this illustration - from individual bacterium to infected hair follicles - it becomes evident how crucial scientific research is in combating these infections. This artwork stands as an homage to medical professionals who tirelessly work towards developing treatments for bacterial skin infections like MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Overall, this thought-provoking image invites us to appreciate both the complexity and fragility of our own biological systems while igniting curiosity about the fascinating field of bacteriology.
