Shigella bacteria, SEM
Shigella bacteria. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Shigella sp. Bacteria (red) on the surface of a cell. Shigella sp. are Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli) and are the causative agent of human shigellosis. They infect the large intestine and cause dysentery, which can vary in severity from a mild attack of diarrhoea to an acute infection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of Shigella bacteria. In this scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a glimpse into the realm of these Gram-negative rod-shaped organisms, which serve as the primary culprits behind human shigellosis. The vibrant red hue highlights their presence on the surface of a cell, illustrating their ability to infect and cause dysentery in the large intestine. Shigella sp. is notorious for its wide range of severity, with symptoms varying from mild diarrhea to acute infections. This image not only captures their pathogenic nature but also emphasizes their role as agents of infection and disease transmission within our biological systems. Through this SEM, we witness an amalgamation of biology and medicine at its finest – a testament to the power and precision offered by scanning electron microscopy. Each false-colored detail provides valuable insight into these microscopic invaders that can wreak havoc on our health. As we delve deeper into microbiology, it becomes increasingly evident how vital it is to understand such bacterial pathogens like Shigella sp. , enabling us to develop effective strategies for prevention, treatment, and ultimately safeguarding public health against foodborne illnesses like bacillary dysentery.
