False-colour SEM of Staphyloccus sp

False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a colony of the spherical genus of bacteria, Staphylococcus sp. These gram-positive bacteria appear in groups that resemble clusters of grapes (as here), but are also observed individually, in pairs or in short chains. They are significant human pathogens, causing diseases ranging from superficial skin infections to life-threatening systemic illness. Of the large number of species, three are commonly associated with human disease: S. aureus, S. epidermidis & S. saprophyticus. Magnification: x4500 at 6x7cm size, x2250 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Staphylococcus sp, a spherical genus of bacteria. The image reveals a colony of these gram-positive bacteria, which form clusters resembling bunches of grapes. However, they can also be found individually, in pairs or short chains. Staphylococcus sp is not to be taken lightly as it poses significant threats to human health. These bacteria are known for causing various diseases ranging from superficial skin infections to severe systemic illnesses that can be life-threatening. Within the vast number of Staphylococcus species, three commonly associated with human disease stand out: S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and S. saprophyticus. The magnification used for this SEM was x4500 at 6x7cm size and x2250 at 35mm size, allowing us to observe intricate details of these bacterial colonies. This remarkable photograph provides valuable insights into the world of microbiology by highlighting the beauty and complexity of these tiny organisms that often go unnoticed by the naked eye.
