TEM Staphylococcus aureus

False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, showing a single bacterium (lower centre, actually in process of division) & the remains of a 2nd (top) after having undergone lysis (bursting) due to effects of antibiotics. Lysis occurs through the destruction of the outer plasma membrane & the subsequent release of intracellular contents into the surrounding medium. S. aureus (a species of spherical, non-motile, Gram-positive bacteria) is responsible for pus containing infections such as boils and abscesses. S. aureus also secretes an exotoxin causing a type of acute gastro-enteritis. Mag: X 17, 500 at 35mm size, X 35, 000 at 6x7 size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the notorious bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. In this image, we witness a single bacterium in the lower center, caught in the midst of division, while the remains of another bacterium can be seen at the top after undergoing lysis or bursting due to antibiotic effects. Lysis occurs when antibiotics destroy the outer plasma membrane of these Gram-positive bacteria, leading to the release of intracellular contents into their surroundings. S. aureus is responsible for causing infections that result in pus-filled conditions like boils and abscesses. Additionally, this species secretes an exotoxin that triggers acute gastroenteritis. The magnification power used for capturing this image is truly awe-inspiring: X 17,500 at a 35mm size and X 35,000 at a larger 6x7 size. This photograph not only highlights action and transmission but also delves into the fascinating world of microbes and bacteriology. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an exceptional visual representation that allows us to marvel at these tiny organisms' intricate structures and functions. It serves as a reminder of both their potential harm as well as their significance in fields such as microbiology and medicine where understanding them plays a crucial role in combating infectious diseases effectively.
