EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer-enhanced colored transmission electron micrograph (TEM) captures the intricate world of oral bacteria. The image showcases Porphyromonas gingivalis, formerly known as Bacteroides gingivalis, dividing into two separate entities in the upper left and lower right corners. These Gram-negative, anaerobic rod-shaped bacteria are a natural part of the mouth's normal flora, as well as that of the intestine and urogenital tract. While they typically coexist harmlessly within our bodies, these organisms can also be responsible for various dental issues such as gum disease or periodontal infections like ulcerative gingivitis and mouth abscesses. This magnified image provides an up-close look at their structure and behavior. With a magnification level of x12,000 when printed 10 centimeters tall, this print is a testament to the advancements made in biology and medicine through microscopic imaging techniques. It offers valuable insights into bacterial reproduction processes while shedding light on pathogenic microorganisms that pose potential health risks. The false-colored representation adds depth to this scientific marvel captured by a transmission electron microscope (TEM). By showcasing these tiny yet significant creatures responsible for oral health complications, this photograph serves both medical professionals in dentistry and researchers studying microbiology alike.
