Colouree TEM of haemophilus influenzae
Coloured transmission electron micrograph of a dividing bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, showing its DNA (blue) at the centre of the cell. A non- motile Gram-negative bacillus, H. influenzae is an important pathogen in children aged 1-5 years. It colonises the upper respiratory tract in most humans within the first months of life, and is usually harmless. It may, however, spread locally and cause diseases of the lower respiratory tract such as bronchitis and pneumonia and of the ear, otitis media. Certain capsulated strains are the most common cause of bacterial meningitis and epiglottitis in children. Magnification; x60, 000 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph of a dividing bacterium known as Haemophilus influenzae. The image reveals the intricate DNA structure, depicted in striking blue, located at the center of the cell. H. influenzae is classified as a non-motile Gram-negative bacillus and holds significant importance as a pathogen primarily affecting children aged 1-5 years. In most humans, this bacterium colonizes the upper respiratory tract during infancy without causing harm. However, it has the potential to spread locally and lead to various diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia in the lower respiratory tract or otitis media in the ear. Notably, certain capsulated strains are responsible for bacterial meningitis and epiglottitis among children. With its magnification set at x60,000 on a 6x4.5cm scale, this transmission electron micrograph offers an extraordinary glimpse into the world of microbiology and bacteriology. It highlights both the beauty and complexity of these tiny organisms that play crucial roles in human health.
