Epithelial gonorrhoea infection, SEM
Epithelial gonorrhoea infection. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria (clusters of small round cells) and an epithelial cell (large structure, centre). Other epithelial cells are partially seen at top and at bottom right. Epithelial cells are the cells that make up the skin and the lining of internal body cavities and spaces. N. gonorrhoeae is a Gram-negative bacteria that causes the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhoea. Symptoms include vaginal or urethral discharge and a burning sensation on urination

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the microscopic world of epithelial gonorrhoea infection. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a glimpse into the intricate interaction between Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria and an epithelial cell. The image reveals clusters of small round N. gonorrhoeae cells, which appear as vibrant dots against the backdrop of the larger, central epithelial cell. Partially visible epithelial cells at the top and bottom right further emphasize their role in forming our skin and lining internal body cavities. N. gonorrhoeae is a Gram-negative bacterium notorious for causing the sexually transmitted infection known as gonorrhoea. Its symptoms include vaginal or urethral discharge along with a painful burning sensation during urination. Through this visually striking SEM, we gain insight into how these pathogenic bacteria invade and infect human bodies, highlighting their ability to disrupt normal bodily functions. The false-coloured rendering adds depth to our understanding of histopathology by distinguishing different elements within this complex biological landscape. As we contemplate this mesmerizing image, it serves as a reminder of both the beauty and intricacy found within microbiological realms while also underscoring the urgent need for continued research and advancements in combating sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea.
