Helicobacter pylori bacteria
False-colour transmission electron micrograph of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (formerly called Campylobacter pyloridis). It is a curved, or spiral, Gram-negative bacilli with flagella at one end (seen here) that make it highly motile. Helicobacter pylori has recently been linked with the formation of stomach ulcers, through observation of the bacterium in biopsy specimens from patients with active chronic gastritis & peptic ulcers. Magnification: x7080 at 6X4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph of the notorious Helicobacter pylori bacteria, formerly known as Campylobacter pyloridis. The image reveals the unique characteristics of this curved or spiral-shaped Gram-negative bacilli, adorned with flagella at one end that grant it remarkable motility. Through meticulous observation in biopsy specimens from patients suffering from active chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers, scientists have recently established a direct link between Helicobacter pylori and the development of stomach ulcers. At an astonishing magnification of x7080 and measuring 6X4.5cm, this photograph offers an intricate glimpse into the world of bacteriology and medical research. The vibrant red hues accentuate the significance of this human pathogen within our bodies, emphasizing its role in causing gastric ulceration. With its flagellum prominently displayed, this electron micrograph underscores the bacterium's ability to navigate through its environment with ease. As we delve deeper into understanding these microscopic organisms, we gain valuable insights into their pathogenic nature and potential treatments for associated ailments. Science Photo Library has once again captured a mesmerizing moment in scientific exploration by immortalizing this image on print. It serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies lie complex ecosystems teeming with diverse microbes - some beneficial, others harmful - all contributing to our overall health and well-being.
