Legionella infected protozoan, TEM C016 / 9412
Legionella infected protozoan. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a single-celled Tetrahymena pyriformis protozoan, infected with Legionella pneumophila bacteria (yellow). The bacteria are multiplying within a vesicle in the hosts cell. L. pneumophila is the causative agent of legionellosis or Legionnaires disease in humans

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of microbiology. In this image, we are granted a glimpse into the hidden realm of infection and parasitism. The transmission electron micrograph (TEM) captures a section through a single-celled Tetrahymena pyriformis protozoan, which has fallen victim to Legionella pneumophila bacteria. Against a striking black background, the yellow-hued bacteria can be seen multiplying within a vesicle inside the host cell. Legionella pneumophila is notorious for causing legionellosis or Legionnaires disease in humans, making it an important pathogen to study and understand. The photograph highlights both the beauty and complexity of nature's microscopic interactions. It serves as a reminder that even at such minuscule scales, life forms engage in battles for survival and dominance. This mesmerizing image not only appeals to those fascinated by biology but also provides valuable insights into infectious diseases. AMI IMAGES/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this momentous scene with their exceptional skill in scientific photography. Their dedication to capturing these remarkable glimpses into our natural world allows us to appreciate the intricacies that exist beyond what meets the naked eye.
