Prevotella dentalis bacteria
Prevotella dentalis. Computer manipulation of a transmission electron micrograph (TEM), showing cells of the tooth decay-causing bacteria, Prevotella dentalis (formerly Mitsuokella dentalis). These cells were isolated from dental root canals. They are gram negative rod-shaped bacteria. The surface of each cell is covered with numerous short & thick protuberances called pili, which play a role in bacterial reproduction. Magnification: x12, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Prevotella dentalis bacteria, a notorious culprit behind tooth decay. Through computer manipulation of a transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we are granted an up-close view of these gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria that were extracted from dental root canals. The false-colored image reveals the intricate details of each cell's surface, which is adorned with numerous short and thick protuberances known as pili. These pili serve a crucial role in bacterial reproduction, highlighting their significance in understanding the mechanisms underlying this oral health concern. With a magnification level of x12,000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers us an unprecedented glimpse into the microscopic world of dentistry and microbiology. It serves as a reminder that even within our mouths lie complex ecosystems teeming with various microorganisms. As researchers delve deeper into unraveling the mysteries surrounding tooth decay and its causes, images like these become invaluable tools for scientific exploration. This visually striking depiction not only captures the beauty inherent in biological structures but also underscores the importance of continued research to combat dental diseases effectively. In summary, this stunning print by Science Photo Library sheds light on Prevotella dentalis bacteria found in root canals and their association with tooth decay. Its vibrant colors and detailed composition make it an intriguing addition to any collection exploring biology, medicine, dentistry or microbiology.
