E. coli bacteria strain O157: H7, TEM
E. coli bacteria strain O157:H7, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). E. coli are Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria that are part of the normal flora of the human gut. Although most are harmless, some strains produce a toxin that causes severe diarrhoea and can be fatal. E. coli O157:H7 is an enterohemorrhagic strain, which causes bloody diarrhoea, and occasionally kidney failure, especially in young children and elderly people

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the E. coli bacteria strain O157:H7 in all its intricate detail. The coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals a close-up view of these Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria, which are typically found as part of the normal flora in the human gut. While most E. coli strains are harmless, this particular strain can be extremely dangerous. It produces a toxin that leads to severe diarrhoea and, in some cases, can even be fatal. Known as an enterohemorrhagic strain, it is notorious for causing bloody diarrhoea and occasionally kidney failure, especially among vulnerable populations such as young children and elderly individuals. The false-coloured image highlights the distinct features of these pathogenic microbes - their rod-like shape and flagella that enable them to move around within their environment. This microscopic insight into E. coli O157:H7 offers valuable insights into its biology and pathogenesis. Bacteriology enthusiasts will appreciate this stunning visual representation of a significant bacterium responsible for gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. The transmission electron micrograph allows us to explore the fascinating world of microbiology by zooming in on individual bacterial cells with remarkable clarity.
