Salmonella bacteria, SEM
Salmonella bacteria, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Each rod-shaped structure is an individual bacterium. These bacteria occur mainly in human and animal intestines. Some strains are pathogenic, causing salmonella food poisoning (salmonellosis), resulting in abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Common sources of human infection are dairy, poultry and meat products. Treatment consists of rehydration and the use of antibiotic drugs. Magnification: x630 when printed 10cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Salmonella bacteria, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Each vibrant rod-shaped structure represents an individual bacterium, highlighting their presence primarily in human and animal intestines. While some strains of these bacteria are pathogenic, causing the notorious salmonella food poisoning or salmonellosis, which manifests as abdominal pain and diarrhea. The image also sheds light on common sources of human infection such as dairy, poultry, and meat products. However, fear not for there is hope in combating this illness through rehydration techniques and the administration of antibiotic drugs. With a magnification level of x630 when printed at 10cm high, this colored SEM photograph offers us a glimpse into the microscopic realm where biology meets digestion. The false colors applied to enhance visibility add an artistic touch to this scientific marvel. As we delve into the fascinating field of bacteriology and microbiology through this visually stunning portrayal, it serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies lies an entire ecosystem teeming with microorganisms - both beneficial and disease-causing. This print from Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate the complexity and beauty found in nature's tiniest inhabitants while emphasizing the importance of understanding them for our well-being.
