Bacteroides fragilis bacteria
False colour transmission electron micrograph of the anaerobic bacteria, Bacteroides fragilis (gram negative), normally present in the alimentary & urinogenital tracts of animals & humans. It is estimated that Bacteroides spp constitutes 90% of the total microbiological flora in man. Some species, however, under certain circumstances may cause infections. Mag: X 11, 750 (at 35mm size)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Bacteroides fragilis bacteria, a gram-negative anaerobic microorganism found in the digestive and urinary systems of animals and humans. In this false-color transmission electron micrograph, we are granted a glimpse into their fascinating realm. With an estimated presence constituting 90% of the total microbiological flora in humans, these bacteria play a vital role in our bodies. However, under certain circumstances, some species can turn from harmless inhabitants to potential sources of infection. The image reveals the delicate structure and complexity of Bacteroides fragilis. Through magnification at X 11,750 (at 35mm size), we witness their minute details that would otherwise remain hidden to the naked eye. The vibrant colors employed enhance our understanding and appreciation for these microscopic organisms. As we delve into bacteriology and microbiology through this photograph, it serves as a reminder that even within seemingly inconspicuous entities lie wonders waiting to be explored. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous snapshot with its expertise in transmitting scientific knowledge visually.
