Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, SEM
Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria are found in soil and water, and as normal flora in the human intestine. However, they can cause serious wound, lung, skin and urinary tract infections. These types of infections are most common in hospitals. Treatment is with antibiotics.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, a Gram-negative rod-shaped microorganism. These bacteria are commonly found in soil and water, as well as the human intestine where they exist as part of the normal flora. However, their presence can lead to severe infections affecting various parts of the body such as wounds, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. Notably, these types of infections are most prevalent within hospital settings. The image reveals intricate details of these pathogenic bacteria under a scanning electron microscope (SEM), with false coloring enhancing their visual impact. The high magnification level of x4590 allows for an incredibly detailed view when printed at 10 centimeters wide. Understanding the biology and behavior of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is crucial in combating its harmful effects on human health. Treatment primarily involves administering antibiotics to combat infection. Science Photo Library has skillfully captured this mesmerizing yet potentially dangerous microbe through their lens. This photograph serves as a reminder that even within our natural environment and inside our bodies, there exists a complex world teeming with microscopic lifeforms that can both benefit us or pose serious threats if not properly managed or treated.
