Treponema denticola bacterium, SEM

Treponema bacterium. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a Treponema denticola bacterium. It is seen on a fractal background. This spirochaete bacterium is from the mouth of a person with periodontal disease, a disorder of the supporting tissues around the teeth. T. denticola occurs in the mouths of all primates. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Treponema denticola bacterium, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The bacterium is depicted against a mesmerizing fractal background, adding an artistic touch to this scientific image. T. denticola is a spirochaete bacterium found in the mouths of all primates, including humans. However, its presence becomes problematic when it contributes to periodontal disease - a condition affecting the tissues that support our teeth. This photograph offers us an up-close view of this pathogenic microorganism responsible for gum infections and dental issues. The vibrant colors used in this transmission electron micrograph (TEM) highlight different structures within the bacterium, allowing scientists and researchers to study its morphology and behavior more closely. While the magnification level remains unknown, it's evident that even at such microscopic scales, nature presents itself with awe-inspiring complexity. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into the world of microbiology through their exceptional collection. This image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and potential harm hidden within these tiny organisms that coexist with us every day.
