E. coli and Shigella sp. bacteria
E. coli and Shigella sp. bacteria. Fluorescence confocal light micrograph of Escherichia coli and Shigella sp. bacteria (blue) in human Caco-2 cells (green), a cultured cell line derived from a colorectal carcinoma. The cell nuclei are red. These are motile bacteria that are capable of entering intestinal cells (enteroinvasive) and causing disease. Shigella sp. bacteria cause dysentery, which can vary in severity from a mild attack of diarrhoea to an acute infection. Enteroinvasive E. coli cause severe diarrhoea that can be fatal, especially in the very young or elderly

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of bacteria. In this fluorescence confocal light micrograph, we are presented with a mesmerizing display of Escherichia coli and Shigella sp. bacteria in human Caco-2 cells derived from a colorectal carcinoma. The vibrant blue hue represents these motile bacteria, known for their ability to invade intestinal cells and cause disease. Shigella sp. bacteria specifically induce dysentery, which can range from mild diarrhea to severe infections. On the other hand, enteroinvasive E. coli is responsible for severe and potentially fatal cases of diarrhea, particularly among vulnerable populations such as young children and the elderly. The green coloration signifies the cultured cell line within which these pathogens thrive, while the red highlights emphasize the presence of cell nuclei amidst this microscopic battleground. This image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger that exist within our biological landscape. Through advanced imaging techniques like immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy, scientists gain invaluable insights into pathogenic mechanisms at play in infectious diseases. Science Photo Library continues to provide us with awe-inspiring visuals that bridge artistry with scientific discovery - an essential resource for researchers, educators, and anyone fascinated by microbiology's hidden realms.
