Listeria bacteria, TEM
Listeria sp. bacteria, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Listeria are Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria. The species L. monocytogenes is a human pathogen, causing the disease listeriosis. Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, meningitis and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). It is caught from contaminated food and is most common in newborns, the elderly and immunocompromised patients

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Listeria bacteria, as seen through a transmission electron microscope. The vibrant colors highlight the distinct features of these Gram-positive rod-shaped microorganisms. Among them, the species L. monocytogenes stands out as a notorious human pathogen responsible for causing listeriosis. Listeriosis is a serious illness characterized by symptoms such as fever, meningitis, and encephalitis - conditions that involve inflammation and swelling of the brain. This disease is primarily transmitted through contaminated food and poses a higher risk to vulnerable populations like newborns, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. The image serves as a reminder of the invisible threats lurking in our environment. By shedding light on this microscopic world, it underscores the importance of proper food safety practices and vigilant hygiene measures to prevent outbreaks caused by these harmful pathogens. With its false-colored details and precise depiction of rod-shaped bacteria under magnification, this photograph not only appeals to biology enthusiasts but also provides valuable insights into bacteriology and medical research fields. It serves as an invaluable resource for scientists studying microbiology or seeking to understand bacterial behavior at a cellular level.
