Meningitis bacteria dividing
Neisseria meningitidis. Coloured Transmission electron micrograph of the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis, the agent which causes meningitis. These are non-motile, Gram-negative coccus (spherical) bacteria. At lower frame a cell has undergone a double cell division, producing 4 bacterial cells. Neisseria meningitidis is an obligate human parasite. It causes meningococcal (cerebrospinal) meningitis, the inflammation of connective tissue membranes lining the brain & spinal cord. Symptoms include headache, fever, muscle rigidity, delirium, sometimes death. Treatment with antibiotics. Magnification: x42, 500 at 6x7cm size. Magnification: x125, 000 at 10x8 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of microbiology. The image depicts Neisseria meningitidis, the bacteria responsible for causing meningitis, dividing through a process known as binary fission. Colored and captured using transmission electron microscopy, this high-resolution photograph reveals the non-motile, Gram-negative coccus bacteria in stunning detail. At a lower frame within the image, we witness a cell undergoing double cell division, resulting in the formation of four bacterial cells. This remarkable visual representation highlights the rapid reproduction capabilities of Neisseria meningitidis. As an obligate human parasite, this bacterium is notorious for causing cerebrospinal meningitis – an inflammation of connective tissue membranes that line both the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms associated with this devastating disease include severe headache, fever, muscle rigidity, delirium, and sadly sometimes death. Fortunately, effective treatment options involving antibiotics exist to combat Neisseria meningitidis infections. However, it is crucial to detect and diagnose this human disease promptly to ensure timely intervention. With magnifications reaching x42 500 at 6x7cm size or x125 000 at 10x8 inch size respectively; this extraordinary print serves as a powerful educational tool for medical professionals studying bacteriology or anyone fascinated by microorganisms' microscopic world.
