Q fever bacteria, Coxiella burnetii, TEM
Q fever bacteria (Coxiella burnetii), coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Q fever is a disease present in livestock that can be spread to humans by inhalation of contaminated particles. It is thought to be the most infective disease known, with just one bacterium capable of causing infection. Q fever causes flu-like symptoms, with fever, malaise, headache and nausea. It can progress to pneumonia, which can be fatal. Chronic infection leads to inflammation of the inner lining of the heart, which is fatal if untreated

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Q fever bacteria, Coxiella burnetii, captured through a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The image is beautifully colored to highlight the intricate details of this pathogenic microbe. Q fever is a disease primarily found in livestock that can be transmitted to humans through inhalation of contaminated particles. It is considered one of the most infectious diseases known to mankind, as even a single bacterium has the potential to cause infection. The symptoms of Q fever resemble those of flu-like illnesses, including fever, malaise, headache, and nausea. In severe cases, it can progress into pneumonia which can prove fatal if left untreated. Chronic infection with Coxiella burnetii leads to inflammation of the inner lining of the heart which ultimately results in fatality if not properly addressed. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger that exists within our microscopic world. It highlights the importance for researchers and medical professionals alike to study these microbes in order to better understand their behavior and develop effective treatments or preventive measures. Science Photo Library continues its commitment towards providing stunning visuals that bridge science with artistry by capturing such remarkable images like this one.
