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 the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, revealing its intricate details through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These Gram-negative rod-shaped organisms are commonly found in soil and water, as well as serving as normal flora in the human intestine. However, their presence can lead to severe wound, lung, skin, and urinary tract infections. It is worth noting that these types of infections are particularly prevalent within hospital settings. The image highlights the importance of understanding this pathogen's structure and characteristics for effective treatment. Antibiotics play a crucial role in combating Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. By targeting this bacterium with appropriate medications, healthcare professionals strive to alleviate the harmful effects it may cause. Through advanced technology like scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scientists have been able to capture stunning visuals of these bacteria at a microscopic level. The false-coloured representation adds an artistic touch while emphasizing key features such as its rod shape and gram-negative nature. This remarkable photograph serves not only as a testament to the wonders of microbiology but also acts as a reminder of the ongoing battle against hospital-acquired infections caused by opportunistic pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
