Haemophilus influenzae B bacterium
Haemophilus influenzae B. Coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of a single Haemophilus influenzae type B bacterium. In cross-section the outer cell wall of the bacterium is seen, with DNA genetic material (blue) in the core. It is rod- shaped, and a Gram-negative bacillus. Haemophilus influenzae is an important pathogen in children aged 1-5 years old. It colonizes the upper respiratory tract within the first few months of life. It may spread locally to cause respiratory tract diseases like bronchitis and pneumonia. The type B (HIB) serogroup of this bacteria is the most common cause of epiglottitis and paediatric meningitis. Magnification: x20, 000 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of a single Haemophilus influenzae B bacterium. The image reveals the cross-section of the outer cell wall, with the DNA genetic material appearing in a striking blue hue at its core. This rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacillus is known to be an important pathogen among children aged 1-5 years old. Haemophilus influenzae colonizes the upper respiratory tract during infancy and can lead to various respiratory tract diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia. However, it is the type B serogroup (HIB) that poses the greatest threat, being responsible for causing epiglottitis and paediatric meningitis. The magnification level used for this photograph was an impressive x20,000 at a size of 6x7cm. It offers viewers an up-close look into the intricate world of bacteria causing illnesses in young children. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this microbe's structure and vibrant colours through their advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques. This print serves as both a visually stunning piece of art and an educational tool for those interested in microbiology or bacteriology.
