Helicobacter bacteria, TEM

Helicobacter bacteria. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through Helicobacter fennelliae bacteria. These bacteria are most commonly found in the digestive tracts of male homosexuals, and are usually transmitted by sexual practices. They cause inflammation of the small intestine (enteritis), colon (colitis) and rectum (proctitis). Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Helicobacter bacteria, as captured through a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The image reveals a section through Helicobacter fennelliae bacteria, which are predominantly found in the digestive tracts of male homosexuals and are commonly transmitted through sexual practices. The vibrant colors used to enhance this TEM highlight the various structures and features of these pathogenic microorganisms. One can observe their flagella, which aid in their movement and colonization within the human body. Helicobacter fennelliae is known to cause inflammation in multiple parts of the gastrointestinal tract, including the small intestine (enteritis), colon (colitis), and rectum (proctitis). This microscopic view provides valuable insights into how these bacteria interact with host cells at such a minute level. Although magnification details remain unknown for this particular image, it serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity that exists within our microbial world. By studying such images, scientists gain crucial knowledge about pathogens like Helicobacter fennelliae that impact human health. This photograph from Science Photo Library offers an opportunity to appreciate the wonders hidden within our bodies while also highlighting important research on bacterial infections. It reminds us of the ongoing efforts by scientists worldwide to understand and combat diseases caused by microorganisms like Helicobacter fennelliae.
