Gonorrhoea bacteria, SEM
Gonorrhoea bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of gonorrhoea bacteria (Neisseria gonorrhoeae, round) on a human epithelial cell. Gonorrhoea is a venereal (sexually-transmitted) disease. Infection is of the urethra, causing a discharge of yellow fluid. It readily spreads to surrounding tissues. If it spreads further to the blood or brain, it may be fatal. Treatment is with antibiotic drugs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of gonorrhoea bacteria, captured through a scanning electron microscope. The image reveals Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the round-shaped bacterium responsible for causing this sexually-transmitted disease. Set against a backdrop of human epithelial cells, it vividly illustrates the impact of infection on our bodies. Gonorrhoea primarily targets the urethra, resulting in a distressing discharge of yellow fluid. However, its insidious nature allows it to swiftly spread to surrounding tissues if left untreated. This alarming progression can even lead to life-threatening consequences if the bacteria infiltrate the bloodstream or reach the brain. Fortunately, medical science has armed us with effective weapons against this formidable foe. Antibiotic drugs serve as our frontline defense in combating gonorrhoea's relentless assault on our well-being. The false coloring technique employed in this image enhances its visual appeal and aids in understanding these microscopic organisms that wreak havoc within us. It serves as a powerful reminder of both the beauty and danger that exist at such minuscule scales. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing composition from Science Photo Library, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize the importance of education and prevention when it comes to sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea.
