Salmonella, TEM
Salmonella. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Salmonella paratyphi B bacteria (also called Salmonella schotmulleri). These Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria have flagella (hair-like strands) that are used for movement. This type of Salmonella causes paratyphoid fever, which is a severe type of gastroenteritis (digestive system infection) combined with typhoid-like symptoms (a long, extremely high-temperature fever that may be fatal if left untreated). Infection is usually through ingesting contaminated food or water, but this can be quickly treated by antibiotics. Magnification: x27, 200 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the Salmonella paratyphi B bacteria, also known as Salmonella schotmulleri. The image, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), reveals the intricate details of these Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria. One can observe their flagella, which resemble hair-like strands and enable them to move. Salmonella paratyphi B is responsible for causing paratyphoid fever, a severe form of gastroenteritis accompanied by typhoid-like symptoms. If left untreated, this condition can lead to a dangerously high-temperature fever that may prove fatal. Infection typically occurs through consuming contaminated food or water; however, prompt treatment with antibiotics can effectively combat the infection. The false coloring applied to this micrograph enhances our understanding of the bacterium's structure and characteristics. With a magnification level of x27,200 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail becomes visible. As we delve into the world of microbiology and bacteriology through this image, it serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within microscopic organisms. This photograph not only highlights the pathogenic nature of Salmonella paratyphi B but also emphasizes its role in causing significant health issues worldwide.
