F / col TEM of Staphylococcus aureus

False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an individual bacterium of the species Staphylococcus aureus, a member of a genus of spherical, Gram-positive, non-motile bacteria. Many species cause disease in man through secretion of exotoxins: S. aureus is commonly present on skin mucous membranes & causes boils & internal abscesses. S. pyogenes albus & S. pyogenes aureus are associated with suppurative (pus forming) infections. Other species produce toxins causing food poisoning. Magnification: x26, 000 at 35mm size, x52, 000 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an individual bacterium belonging to the species Staphylococcus aureus. As part of a genus of spherical, Gram-positive, non-motile bacteria, this particular species is notorious for causing various diseases in humans through the secretion of exotoxins. Staphylococcus aureus commonly resides on our skin and mucous membranes, often leading to the formation of painful boils and internal abscesses. Additionally, two other strains within this genus, S. pyogenes albus and S. pyogenes aureus, are associated with suppurative infections that result in pus formation. However, it's not just their ability to cause physical harm that makes these bacteria intriguing; some species also produce toxins responsible for food poisoning incidents. The level of detail captured by this TEM image is truly remarkable. At a magnification of x26,000 for 35mm prints or x52,000 for 6x7cm prints, we can observe the intricate structure and morphology of these tiny organisms. This photograph serves as a testament to the incredible advancements made in bacteriology and microbiology research. Displayed proudly by Science Photo Library - renowned experts in scientific imagery - this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within microorganisms that coexist with us every day on our own skin.
