Art of Neisseria meningitidis bacteria
Neisseria meningitidis. Artwork of the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis. These bacteria are agents which cause bacterial meningitis. They are non- motile Gram-negative cocci (spherical) and occur as two cells (purple) in a capsule (green). Three such two-celled diplococci are shown. Neisseria meningitidis is an obligate human parasite. It causes meningococcal (cerebrospinal) meningitis, the inflammation of connective tissue membranes lining the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include headache, fever, stiff neck, vomiting, delirium, sometimes death. Treatment is with antibiotics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of Neisseria meningitidis bacteria, which are notorious agents responsible for bacterial meningitis. These non-motile Gram-negative cocci appear as two cells in a vibrant green capsule, depicted here in striking purple hues. The image beautifully captures three pairs of these two-celled diplococci. Neisseria meningitidis is an obligate human parasite that inflicts the devastating condition known as cerebrospinal meningitis. This disease triggers inflammation in the connective tissue membranes lining the brain and spinal cord, leading to a range of distressing symptoms such as severe headaches, high fever, stiff neck, vomiting, delirium, and tragically sometimes even death. The treatment for this menacing bacterium involves administering antibiotics promptly to combat its harmful effects on the body. This mesmerizing artwork serves not only as an aesthetic masterpiece but also acts as a visual reminder of the significance of understanding and combating diseases caused by microorganisms like Neisseria meningitidis. Science Photo Library has skillfully captured this artistic representation of one such microbial culprit responsible for causing immense suffering worldwide. Through their lens and expertise in microbiology and bacteriology, they have created an awe-inspiring piece that highlights both scientific knowledge and creative expression.
