TEM of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria
Staphylococcus bacteria. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of sectioned Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus are Gram- positive coccal (spherical) bacteria. Surrounding the bacterium at centre is the cell wall (dark). The wall extending down the centre indicates that the bacterium is dividing to form two daughter cells. 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 and internal abscesses. Magnification: x200, 000 at 10x8 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, commonly known as Staphylococcus bacteria. The image reveals the intricate details of these Gram-positive coccal bacteria, which appear spherical in shape. At the center of the bacterium lies its cell wall, depicted in dark hues. Interestingly, the wall extends down the middle, indicating that this particular bacterium is undergoing division to give rise to two daughter cells. Staphylococcus aureus is typically found on healthy human skin and mucous membranes such as those lining our mouths. However, it can also turn pathogenic under certain circumstances. This versatile microbe is often responsible for various skin conditions like boils and infected hair follicles, as well as internal abscesses. With a magnification level of x200,000 at a 10x8 inch size, this TEM image offers an extraordinary glimpse into the world of bacterial life. It provides valuable insights into cell division processes and highlights the fascinating complexity present within even seemingly simple organisms. This remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of both the beauty and potential danger that exist within microscopic organisms like Staphylococcus aureus. Its scientific significance makes it an ideal addition to any collection focused on microbiology or bacteriology studies.
