Bacterial lung infection
Bacterial lung infection, computer artwork. Rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli, green) on the surface of the alveoli of the lungs (purple). The alveoli are the areas where gases are exchanged between the air in the lungs and the blood. Bacteria like these ause lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), which is known as bacterial pneumonia. Pneumonia can also be caused by viruses, fungi, parasites, and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. Severe LRTIs are treated by prescribing a course of antibiotics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate and microscopic world of bacterial lung infection. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a visually striking representation of rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli) thriving on the surface of the alveoli in our lungs. These tiny green organisms are responsible for lower respiratory tract infections, commonly known as bacterial pneumonia. The alveoli, depicted here in a mesmerizing shade of purple, play a crucial role in gas exchange between our lungs and blood. However, when invaded by harmful bacteria like those shown in this artwork, they become sites of infection and cause severe respiratory complications. It is important to note that pneumonia can be caused not only by bacteria but also by viruses, fungi, parasites, or even chemical and physical injuries to the lungs. To combat these serious lower respiratory tract infections effectively, healthcare professionals often prescribe courses of antibiotics tailored to target specific strains of bacteria. Through this stunning illustration merging artistry with scientific accuracy, Science Photo Library invites us into the fascinating realm where microorganisms interact with our bodies. It serves as a reminder both of the beauty found within science and medicine and the ongoing battle against infectious diseases that affect millions worldwide.
