Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, SEM C016 / 9442
Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). P. aeruginosa is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium found in soil and water, and as normal flora in the human intestine. However, they can cause serious wound, lung, skin and urinary tract infections. These types of infections are most common in hospitals. Treatment is with antibiotics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, a Gram-negative rod-shaped microorganism that can be found in soil, water, and even as part of the normal flora in the human intestine. However, this seemingly harmless bacterium has the potential to cause severe infections such as wounds, lung infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. Unfortunately, these types of infections are most prevalent within hospital settings. The coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) beautifully captures the intricate details of this pathogenic bacterium. The image reveals its flagellate structure which aids in its movement and colonization within host tissues. This particular strain is highly abnormal and unhealthy due to its ability to cause disease. In order to combat these dangerous infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, treatment typically involves antibiotics. The field of microbiology plays a crucial role in understanding how these pathogens function and finding effective ways to counteract their harmful effects on human health. This stunning photograph serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within biology while also highlighting the importance of healthcare professionals' efforts in combating bacterial diseases for better patient outcomes.
