Metal Print : MRSA bacteria, TEM
Metal Prints From Science Photo Library
MRSA bacteria, TEM
MRSA bacteria. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a gram-positive, round (coccus) bacterium. It is resistant to many commonly prescribed antibiotics. S. aureus is carried by around 30% of the population without causing any symptoms. However, in vulnerable people, such as those that have recently had surgery, it can cause wound infections, pneumonia and blood poisoning. The spread of MRSA can be prevented by health workers washing their hands between patients and before procedures. Magnification: x15, 300 when printed 10cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the MRSA bacteria, a formidable pathogen that has become resistant to numerous antibiotics. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we can observe the gram-positive, round-shaped (coccus) bacterium responsible for causing infections in vulnerable individuals. While approximately 30% of the population carries S. aureus without experiencing any symptoms, those who have recently undergone surgery or possess weakened immune systems are at risk of developing severe wound infections, pneumonia, and blood poisoning. The spread of MRSA can be curtailed by diligent handwashing practices among healthcare workers before procedures and between patients. The magnified image reveals the intricate details of these microscopic organisms replicating and dividing within their host environment. By understanding their biology and resistance mechanisms, medical professionals strive to combat this superbug through infection control measures. As evidenced by this false-coloured TEM image captured using a transmission electron microscope, Science Photo Library provides an invaluable resource for microbiological research and education. This photograph not only sheds light on the complex nature of MRSA but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against hospital-acquired infections and antibiotic resistance in modern medicine.
