Salmonella typhimurium bacteria, SEM
Salmonella typhimurium bacteria, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These bacteria, also known as Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium, are Gram-negative, rod-shaped cells with flagella (hair-like structures), which are used for locomotion. S. typhimurium is a major cause of food poisoning (salmonellosis) in humans, most commonly caught from infected pork, poultry and eggs. Symptoms include fever, chills, severe diarrhoea and vomiting. Treatment is with antibiotics. Magnification: x3280 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Salmonella typhimurium bacteria in all their intricate detail. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals these Gram-negative, rod-shaped cells with their flagella, which enable them to move around. S. typhimurium is notorious for causing food poisoning, commonly transmitted through contaminated pork, poultry, and eggs. The symptoms of salmonellosis caused by this pathogen are nothing short of debilitating - fever, chills, severe diarrhea, and vomiting. Thankfully, antibiotics can be used as an effective treatment against this bacterial infection. At a magnification of x3280 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, the image allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty within the microscopic world of biology and medicine. The clustered arrangement of these bacteria emphasizes their infectious nature. This false-colored SEM image captured by a scanning electron microscope provides valuable insights into the structure and behavior of S. typhimurium. It serves as a reminder that even something seemingly invisible to the naked eye can have significant implications for our health. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual representation that bridges science and art seamlessly. This print not only educates but also captivates viewers with its striking composition and vibrant colors – truly showcasing the wonders hidden within our microbial world.
