Enterococcus faecalis. Computer artwork of Enterococcus faecalis bacteria (previously known as Streptococcus faecalis). The bacterium is in the process of dividing through binary fission. E. faecalis exists as part of the normal flora of the human alimentary tract, but may cause infections in the urinary tract. It may cause bacterial endocarditis following gynaecological or genito-urinary surgery and also pneumonia. The bacteria is one of the so called superbugs, which are resistant to antibiotics in some stages of their development in the system of a patient

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Enterococcus faecalis, a bacterium previously known as Streptococcus faecalis. In this computer artwork, we witness the bacterium in the midst of dividing through binary fission, a process that perpetuates its existence. While E. faecalis is typically found as part of the normal flora in the human alimentary tract, it can also pose health risks when it causes infections in the urinary tract or leads to bacterial endocarditis following gynaecological or genito-urinary surgery. Additionally, E. faecalis has been associated with pneumonia. What makes this bacterium particularly noteworthy is its classification as one of the infamous superbugs. At certain stages of development within a patient's system, these superbugs exhibit resistance to antibiotics, posing significant challenges for healthcare professionals. Through this stunning illustration, we gain insight into both the fascinating world of microbiology and the potential dangers that certain bacteria can present to our well-being. This image serves as a reminder of how crucial it is for scientists and medical professionals to continue their tireless efforts in combating antibiotic resistance and finding innovative solutions to combat infectious diseases caused by organisms like Enterococcus faecalis.
