Bacteroides gingivalis bacteria
Coloured transmission electron micrograph of the bacteria Bacteroides gingivalis (formerly Bacteroides melaninogenicus asaccharolyticus). These Gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria are rod- shaped cocco-bacilli. In this shadow preparation technique, the surface of the bacterial cell wall is seen. B. gingivalis is associated with gingivitis (gum disease) and other periodontal infections including mouth abscesses. It is not confined to the mouth and may infect other regions of the body. In humans it also occurs as normal harmless flora in the mouth, intestine and urogenital tract. Magnification: x7680 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Bacteroides gingivalis bacteria, revealing their unique structure and characteristics. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph, these Gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria are depicted as rod-shaped cocco-bacilli. The shadow preparation technique employed in capturing this image allows us to observe the surface of the bacterial cell wall with remarkable clarity. Bacteroides gingivalis is notorious for its association with gum disease (gingivitis) and other periodontal infections, including mouth abscesses. However, it is important to note that these bacteria are not limited to oral infections; they have been known to infect various regions of the body. Interestingly, Bacteroides gingivalis can also exist harmlessly as normal flora in the mouth, intestine, and urogenital tract of humans. At a magnification level of x7680 at 6x4.5cm size, this photograph provides an extraordinary glimpse into the microscopic realm where these tiny organisms thrive. It serves as a powerful reminder of both their potential for causing harm and their presence within our bodies as part of our natural microbial community. This stunning visual representation was brought to you by Science Photo Library - a trusted source for scientific imagery encompassing bacteriology, microbiology, and all things related to microbes and infectious diseases.
