Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, SEM C016 / 9441
Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). P. aeruginosa is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium found in soil and water, and as normal flora in the human intestine. However, they can cause serious wound, lung, skin and urinary tract infections. These types of infections are most common in hospitals. Treatment is with antibiotics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, a Gram-negative rod-shaped microorganism that can be found in soil, water, and even as part of the normal flora in the human intestine. However, despite its seemingly harmless existence, this bacterium has the potential to cause severe infections in various parts of the body such as wounds, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. The image captured through coloured transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals intricate details of this pathogenic bacterium. Its flagellum is clearly visible - a whip-like structure that enables it to move swiftly through its environment. This particular strain appears abnormal and diseased under magnification. It is crucial to note that these types of infections are most commonly associated with healthcare settings like hospitals. The presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa poses significant challenges for medical professionals due to its resistance to many antibiotics. Understanding the biology and behavior of such pathogens is essential for effective treatment strategies. Researchers continuously study these microorganisms using advanced techniques like TEM to gain insights into their structure and mechanisms. This remarkable photograph by AMI IMAGES/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger present within our microscopic world – an ever-evolving battleground between humans and bacteria where scientific advancements play a pivotal role in safeguarding our health.
