Coloured TEM of E. coli bacterium
Coloured transmission electron micrograph of the rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli, commonly known as E. coli. Part of the normal fauna of the gut in humans and animals, E.coli may give rise to infection under certain conditions. Serotypes of E. coli are responsible for gastro-enteritis in children, particularly in tropical countries. In adults it is the cause of " travellers diarrhoea", and the majority of urinary tract infections. It is also the organism most used in genetic engineering studies. Magnification: x15, 000 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph of the notorious Escherichia coli bacterium, commonly known as E. coli. The rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium is depicted in stunning detail, revealing its intricate structure and vibrant hues. E. coli is an integral part of the normal gut flora in both humans and animals; however, it can become pathogenic under certain circumstances. This versatile microbe has been linked to various infections and diseases across different age groups and regions. In children, specific serotypes of E. coli are responsible for causing gastroenteritis, particularly prevalent in tropical countries where sanitation may be compromised. In adults, this bacterium often triggers "travelers diarrhea" a common ailment experienced by globetrotters exploring unfamiliar territories. Furthermore, E. coli is also frequently implicated as the primary cause of urinary tract infections. Beyond its role in human health concerns, E. coli holds significant importance within genetic engineering studies due to its widespread use as an experimental organism. Captured at a magnification level of x15,000 on a 6x4.5cm scale using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), this mesmerizing image offers us a glimpse into the hidden world of bacteria – reminding us that even seemingly insignificant organisms can have profound impacts on our lives and scientific advancements.
