Listeriosis, light micrograph C015 / 6405
Listeriosis. Light micrograph of a section through a placenta in a case of listeriosis. This rare infection by the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria is usually due to food poisoning. The bacteria then spread throughout the body and damage nervous tissue (including the brain and spinal cord), and other organs. In pregnant women, the disease often causes miscarriage or stillbirth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the devastating effects of Listeriosis, a rare infection caused by the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. The light micrograph showcases a section through a placenta affected by this condition. Typically transmitted through food poisoning, this aggressive bacterium infiltrates the body and wreaks havoc on various organs and nervous tissue, including the brain and spinal cord. Listeriosis poses particular risks to pregnant women, often leading to miscarriage or stillbirth. This image serves as a chilling reminder of the potential consequences that can arise from this dangerous infection during pregnancy. The intricate details revealed in this histopathological slide highlight the abnormality within infected tissues. Through advanced medical technology such as light microscopy, healthcare professionals gain valuable insights into diagnosing and understanding diseases like listeriosis. As we observe this visually captivating yet unsettling photograph, it is essential to recognize that it represents more than just an artistic display; it symbolizes the importance of vigilance against bacterial infections and emphasizes how they can profoundly impact our health.
