E. coli food poisoning
MODEL RELEASED. E. coli food poisoning. Composite image of a microbiologist holding a petri dish containing a culture of Escherichia coli bacteria and a sandwich. E. coli bacteria are normal inhabitants of the gut however, some strains produce a toxin that leads to serious and potentially fatal food poisoning. Infection may be caused by eating unwashed vegetables or eating contaminated meat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the dangerous reality of E. coli food poisoning. In this composite image, a knowledgeable microbiologist is seen holding a petri dish containing a culture of Escherichia coli bacteria alongside a sandwich. While E. coli bacteria are typically harmless residents of our gut, certain strains can produce toxins that lead to severe and potentially fatal food poisoning. The infection can occur through the consumption of unwashed vegetables or contaminated meat, making it crucial for us to prioritize proper hygiene and safe food handling practices. This image serves as a reminder of the potential hazards lurking in our everyday meals. The gloved hand symbolizes the precautions necessary when dealing with such hazardous pathogens in laboratory settings or even at home. The scientific expertise displayed by the bacteriologist highlights their role in studying these microorganisms to better understand and combat foodborne illnesses. With its focus on health care, biology, and public safety, this print acts as an educational tool for researchers, medical professionals, and individuals interested in promoting food safety awareness. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining high standards in both personal hygiene and agricultural practices to prevent outbreaks caused by pathogenic bacteria like Escherichia coli.
