Coloured TEM of Enterococcus sp. bacteria
Enterococcus sp. bacteria. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through Enterococcus sp. bacteria. These were formerly grouped with the Streptococcus sp. bacteria. These are oval-shaped cocci, seen here forming two paired groups. They are a normal inhabitant of human and animal intestines, but they may become pathogenic. They are known to cause bacterial endocarditis (infection of the lining of the heart) after surgery, and may infect the urinary tract, wounds and skin ulcers. They are resilient bacteria, and can survive temperatures from 10 to 60 degrees Celsius. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Enterococcus sp. bacteria, formerly grouped with Streptococcus sp. bacteria. The image reveals oval-shaped cocci forming two paired groups, representing their typical structure. While these bacteria are commonly found in the human and animal intestines as normal inhabitants, they possess the potential to become pathogenic. Enterococcus sp. bacteria have been associated with various infections such as bacterial endocarditis, which affects the lining of the heart after surgery. Additionally, they can infect wounds, skin ulcers, and the urinary tract. What makes them particularly intriguing is their resilience; they can withstand temperatures ranging from 10 to 60 degrees Celsius. The magnification used for this image remains unknown but highlights intricate details that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. This photograph serves as a valuable resource for researchers and scientists studying bacteriology and microbiology. Captured by Science Photo Library's talented photographers, this print offers an awe-inspiring glimpse into the microscopic world of enterococcus bacteria—microorganisms that play both beneficial and potentially harmful roles in our bodies' ecosystems.
