Chlamydia, SEM

Chlamydia. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of chlamydia (Chlamydia sp.) bacteria (green, spherical, centre) in a ruptured cell. Chlamydia is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease in humans. Chlamydia are obligate intercellular bacteria. After infection, the bacteria replicate in a large vesicle inside the cell. Here the vesicle has been broken open revealing the bacteria

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the microscopic world of Chlamydia, a common bacterial sexually transmitted disease in humans. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted an up-close view of Chlamydia sp. bacteria, represented by vibrant green spheres at the center of a ruptured cell. Chlamydia is known for its unique ability to thrive as obligate intercellular bacteria, replicating within large vesicles inside infected cells. The image captures the moment when this vesicle has been broken open, revealing the intricate structure and presence of these pathogenic bacteria. The false-coloured SEM highlights the significance of this bacterium in medicine and infection control. It serves as a reminder that despite their minuscule size, these microscopic organisms can cause significant harm if left untreated. With its remarkable detail and clarity, this photograph provides valuable insights into cytology and microbiology research. It offers scientists an opportunity to study the biology and behavior of Chlamydia on a cellular level, aiding in our understanding of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia. Science Photo Library continues to contribute immensely to scientific knowledge through visually stunning images like this one – bridging the gap between artistry and science while shedding light on crucial medical subjects like chlamydial infections.
