Salmonella typhimurium bacterium, SEM
Salmonella typhimurium bacterium, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This bacterium is also known as Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium. It is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that has flagella (hair-like structures, purple), which it uses for locomotion. S. typhimurium is a major cause of food poisoning (salmonellosis) in humans. Salmonellosis is most commonly caught from infected pork, poultry and eggs. It may also be spread by household pets. Symptoms include fever, chills, severe diarrhoea and vomiting. It may be fatal in the very young, the elderly and individuals with reduced immune systems. Treatment is with antibiotics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Salmonella typhimurium bacterium, a Gram-negative, rod-shaped microbe that is also known as Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium. With its flagella resembling purple hair-like structures, this bacterium utilizes them for locomotion. However, behind its mesmerizing appearance lies a dangerous pathogen responsible for causing salmonellosis or food poisoning in humans. Salmonellosis is primarily contracted through infected pork, poultry, and eggs but can also be transmitted by household pets. The symptoms of this illness include fever, chills, severe diarrhea, and vomiting. While it can be treated with antibiotics, salmonellosis poses a significant threat to vulnerable individuals such as infants and the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this false-colored magnified image offers an insight into the intricate world of microbiology. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly harmless organisms like bacteria can have devastating consequences when they interact with our bodies. This print from Science Photo Library not only highlights the beauty found within scientific subjects but also emphasizes the importance of understanding pathogens like S. typhimurium to prevent and combat diseases caused by these microscopic entities.
