Proteus vulgaris bacterium, TEM
Proteus vulgaris bacterium, colouredtransmission electron micrograph (TEM). The yellowthreads are flagella, hair-like structures thatthe bacterium beats for motility. This bacteriumforms a natural part of the intestinal flora inanimals and humans, and is also found in water. Inpeople whose immune systems are suppressed, forinstance those with AIDS or those takingimmunosuppressant drugs, it can be pathogenic, infecting the urinary tract or causing pneumoniaor septicaemia. Negatively stained. Magnification:x60, 500 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the Proteus vulgaris bacterium. The vibrant yellow threads visible in the image are flagella, which resemble hair-like structures that this bacterium utilizes for motility. Known to naturally inhabit the intestinal flora of both animals and humans, Proteus vulgaris can also be found in water ecosystems. However, caution must be exercised as this seemingly harmless bacterium can become pathogenic under certain circumstances. Individuals with suppressed immune systems, such as those living with AIDS or taking immunosuppressant drugs, may fall victim to infections caused by Proteus vulgaris. This versatile pathogen has been known to infect the urinary tract or lead to pneumonia and septicaemia. The magnification used for capturing this image was x60, resulting in an impressive level of detail when printed 10cm wide. The false colouring technique employed adds depth and enhances visual clarity for better scientific analysis. This photograph not only highlights the fascinating world of biology but also serves as a valuable resource within medicine and microbiology research fields. It provides researchers with a closer look at bacterial structures like flagella while shedding light on opportunistic pathogens like Proteus vulgaris.
