Listeria indentification
MODEL RELEASED. Listeria identification. Microbiologist holding a an Analytical Profile Index (API) test panel. This is a method used to identify bacteria based on biochemical reactions between the bacteria and various chemicals placed in the API wells. This produces a pattern of colour changes on the API strip which is a signature for a particular species of bacterium, in this case Listeria monocytogenes. This bacteria is the cause of listeriosis, a disease which can lead to septicaemia, meningitis and inflammation of the brain. Infection is caused by eating contaminated food

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a dedicated microbiologist is seen holding an Analytical Profile Index (API) test panel, showcasing the process of Listeria identification. With gloved hands and utmost precision, the scientist utilizes this method to identify bacteria based on biochemical reactions between the bacteria and various chemicals placed in the API wells. The API strip becomes a canvas of vibrant color changes that serve as a signature for Listeria monocytogenes, the bacterium responsible for listeriosis. This disease poses severe health risks such as septicaemia, meningitis, and inflammation of the brain when contaminated food is consumed. Within this image lies a powerful reminder of how science plays an essential role in safeguarding public health. The meticulous work conducted by these experts helps detect and combat pathogenic microorganisms like Listeria monocytogenes. The laboratory setting exudes an air of both fascination and caution. As hazardous biochemistry unfolds before our eyes, we witness firsthand the dedication required to unravel nature's mysteries at its most microscopic level. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of understanding pathogens that threaten our well-being. It symbolizes countless hours spent researching within laboratories worldwide with one common goal: protecting lives from food poisoning outbreaks caused by harmful bacteria like Listeria monocytogenes.
