Coloured TEM of a Salmonella bacterium
Salmonella sp. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a Salmonella sp. bacterium. The cell is rod-shaped with long hair-like flagellae. Salmonella bacteria belong to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They are Gram-negative bacilli bacteria that inhabit the human gut. Salmonella includes the species S. typhi and S. paratyphi, responsible for typhoid and paratyphoid fever in humans. Other serotypes are responsible for gastroenteritis or food poisoning. Around 1800 serotypes of this bacteria have been identified. negatively stained. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a Salmonella bacterium, providing us with an intricate glimpse into the world of microbiology. The Salmonella sp. bacterium featured in this image is rod-shaped and adorned with long hair-like flagellae, which enable its movement. Belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, Salmonella bacteria are Gram-negative bacilli that primarily reside in the human gut. Salmonella encompasses various species such as S. typhi and S. paratyphi, notorious for causing typhoid and paratyphoid fever respectively in humans. Additionally, different serotypes of this versatile pathogen can induce gastroenteritis or food poisoning, making it a significant concern for public health worldwide. Astonishingly, scientists have identified around 1800 serotypes of this bacterial genus. The negative staining technique employed in capturing this image adds depth and contrast to highlight the distinct features of the Salmonella bacterium under examination. Although we do not know the exact magnification used for this photograph, it undoubtedly allows us to appreciate the intricate details at a microscopic level. This remarkable visual representation serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within our microbial world while emphasizing the importance of understanding these organisms' behavior to combat diseases like salmonellosis effectively. This print from Science Photo Library offers an intriguing insight into one aspect of scientific research that continues to shape our understanding of microbes and their impact on human health.
