Staphylococcus aureus MRSA bacteria C013 / 6214
Staphylococcus aureus MRSA bacteria, computer artwork. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, orange) is a Gram-positive, round (coccus) bacterium, shown here on a filamentous surface. It is resistant to many commonly prescribed antibiotics. S. aureus is carried by around 30 per cent of the population without causing any symptoms. However, in vulnerable people, such as those that have recently had surgery, it can cause wound infections, pneumonia and blood poisoning

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of Staphylococcus aureus MRSA bacteria, a formidable pathogen that has become resistant to many antibiotics. In this computer artwork, the bacterium is depicted as vibrant orange spheres on a filamentous surface. Staphylococcus aureus MRSA is a Gram-positive coccus bacterium commonly found in around 30 percent of the population without causing any symptoms. However, for vulnerable individuals like those recovering from surgery, it can lead to severe wound infections, pneumonia, and even life-threatening blood poisoning. The image serves as a reminder of the invisible threats lurking within our environment and highlights the urgent need for effective antibiotic stewardship practices. As one of the most notorious hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), MRSA poses significant challenges in healthcare settings worldwide. By capturing its resilience on a metal surface through this microorganism's lens, we gain insight into its ability to survive and thrive despite our best efforts to combat it with traditional antibiotics. This portrayal emphasizes not only the importance of infection control measures but also ongoing research and development of new treatment strategies against this superbug. Displayed by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this photograph invites us into the microscopic world where biology meets artistry—a visual testament to both scientific curiosity and human perseverance in tackling infectious diseases that continue to pose global health risks.
