E. coli induced cell death, SEM C016 / 3077
E. coli induced cell death. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a macrophage white blood cell (centre) that is being destroyed by toxins released by Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria (rod-shaped). These toxins disrupt the macrophages cell membrane, resulting in death of the cell. Magnification: x2000, when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "E. coli induced cell death" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the destructive power of Escherichia coli bacteria on a macrophage white blood cell. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showcases the intricate details of this biological battle at an impressive magnification of x2000. In the image, we witness the tragic fate of the central macrophage as it succumbs to toxins released by E. coli bacteria. These rod-shaped invaders have disrupted and damaged the delicate membrane of this vital immune cell, leading to its untimely demise. The vibrant colours in this SEM highlight both the beauty and devastation caused by bacterial infections. This visual representation serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies, microscopic battles are constantly being fought between harmful microorganisms and our defense mechanisms. Photographer Steve Gschmeissner's expertise shines through in capturing such an impactful moment from the world of microbiology. His work not only provides valuable insight into cellular biology but also sparks curiosity about how these tiny organisms can wreak havoc on larger systems. This print is not just a stunning piece of art; it serves as a powerful educational tool for students and researchers alike, shedding light on the complex interplay between pathogens and host cells during infection processes.
