False-col TEM of Staphylococcus aureus

False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an individual bacterium of 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: X 26, 000 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an individual bacterium belonging to the Staphylococcus aureus species. Known for their spherical shape, these Gram-positive, non-motile bacteria are notorious disease-causing agents in humans. The image reveals the intricate details of this bacterium at a magnification of X 26,000. Staphylococcus aureus is commonly found on both skin and mucous membranes, often leading to the development of painful boils and internal abscesses. Additionally, certain strains such as S. pyogenes albus and S. pyogenes aureus are associated with suppurative infections that result in pus formation. Some other species within this genus produce toxins responsible for causing food poisoning. The vibrant false colours used in this TEM add an artistic touch to the scientific marvel captured within the frame. This photograph not only highlights the beauty hidden within microbial worlds but also serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying bacteriology and microbiology. Displayed by Science Photo Library, renowned for its exceptional collection of scientific imagery, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the microscopic realm where countless microorganisms reside—some beneficial while others pose significant threats to human health. Let your imagination wander as you explore this mesmerizing portrayal of Staphylococcus aureus—a reminder that even unseen forces can have profound impacts on our lives.
