Meningitis bacterium dividing
Neisseria meningitidis. Coloured Transmission electron micrograph of the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis, the agent which causes meningitis. These are non-motile, Gram-negative coccus (spherical) bacteria. At lower frame a cell has undergone a double cell division, producing 4 bacterial cells. Neisseria meningitidis is an obligate human parasite. It causes meningococcal (cerebrospinal) meningitis, the inflammation of connective tissue membranes lining the brain & spinal cord. Symptoms include headache, fever, muscle rigidity, delirium, sometimes death. Treatment with antibiotics. Magnification: x40, 500 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the meningitis bacterium, Neisseria meningitidis, in the process of dividing. The image, captured using transmission electron microscopy and colored for enhanced visibility, reveals the non-motile, Gram-negative coccus bacteria responsible for causing meningococcal (cerebrospinal) meningitis. In this mesmerizing snapshot, a single bacterial cell has undergone double cell division to produce four distinct bacterial cells. This intricate process highlights the rapid reproduction rate of Neisseria meningitidis. As an obligate human parasite, this bacterium thrives within its host's body and triggers inflammation in the connective tissue membranes lining both the brain and spinal cord. Meningococcal meningitis is a severe condition characterized by symptoms such as intense headaches, fever, muscle rigidity, delirium, and potentially fatal outcomes if left untreated. Fortunately, antibiotics can effectively combat this dangerous infection. With a magnification level of x40 500 at 6x7cm size, this photograph offers viewers an up-close look into the world of microorganisms that impact our health significantly. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within these microscopic creatures while emphasizing their potential to cause harm if not properly addressed. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable image as part of its extensive collection on microbiology and bacteriology—an invaluable resource for researchers seeking visual insights into various scientific disciplines related to microbes and bacteria.
