Staphylococcus aureus bacteria dividing
Staphylococcus bacteria. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (light blue), some undergoing cell division. These gram-positive spherical bacteria are often found in grape-like clusters (as seen here). Some cells have formed daughter cells after cell division. Staphylococcus aureus commonly occurs on healthy human skin and mucous membranes, such as the lining of the mouth. It may, however, become pathogenic. It is commonly responsible for boils on the skin, infected hair follicles, for internal abscesses, and other acute suppurative infections. Magnification: x5, 000 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating world of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria dividing. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), the light blue Staphylococcus aureus bacteria can be seen in grape-like clusters, a characteristic arrangement for these gram-positive spherical organisms. The image captures some of the bacteria undergoing cell division, with certain cells already forming daughter cells. While commonly found on healthy human skin and mucous membranes like the lining of the mouth, Staphylococcus aureus has the potential to become pathogenic. Staphylococcus aureus is notorious for causing various infections such as boils on the skin, infected hair follicles, internal abscesses, and other acute suppurative infections. The magnification used in this photograph is x5,000 at 35mm size, providing an intricate view into their microscopic world. Bacteriology enthusiasts and microbiologists will appreciate this stunning portrayal of bacterial life under a microscope. This image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity that exists within our microbial counterparts.
