Salmonella bacterium, TEM
Salmonella sp. bacterium, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Salmonella is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium in the same family as Escherichia coli (Enterobacteriaceae). In humans, Salmonella are the cause of two diseases called salmonellosis: enteric fever (typhoid), resulting from bacterial invasion of the bloodstream, and acute gastroenteritis, resulting from a foodborne infection/intoxication

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colored transmission electron micrograph of the Salmonella bacterium. With its rod-shaped structure, this Gram-negative bacterium belongs to the same family as Escherichia coli (Enterobacteriaceae). In humans, Salmonella is responsible for two diseases known as salmonellosis: enteric fever (typhoid) and acute gastroenteritis. The image provides a close-up view of this pathogenic microbe, revealing intricate details that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. The vibrant colors used in the false coloring process enhance our understanding of its biology and medical significance. Salmonella's ability to invade the bloodstream leads to enteric fever or typhoid, while foodborne infection/intoxication causes acute gastroenteritis. This microscopic glimpse into the world of bacteria highlights their role in causing these conditions and underscores the importance of microbiological research in combating such diseases. As we explore this mesmerizing image, it becomes evident how crucial it is to study these tiny organisms that can have significant impacts on human health. Through advanced techniques like transmission electron microscopy, scientists can unravel the mysteries surrounding pathogens like Salmonella and develop effective strategies for prevention and treatment. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within biological systems while emphasizing our ongoing battle against bacterial infections.
