This image depicts a Petri dish containing a sheeps blood agar (SBA) medium, which had been inoculated with Gram-negative Francisella tularensis live vaccine strain (LVS) bacteria. F. tularensis is the pathogen responsible for causing the disease tularemia. This was the appearance of the colonial growth after 48 hours of incubation. What is tularemia?Tularemia, also known as rabbit fever, is a disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. Tularemia is typically found in animals, especially rodents, rabbits, and hares. Tularemia is usually a rural disease and has been reported in all U.S. states except Hawaii.How do people become infected with tularemia?Typically, people become infected through the bite of infected insects (most commonly, ticks and deerflies), by handling infected sick or dead animals, by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, or by inhaling airborne bacteria.Created: 2009

Using methylene blue stain, this photomicrograph revealed the presence of Francisella tularensis bacteria, formerly known as Pasteurella tularensis. F. tularensis is the pathogen responsible for causing the disease tularemia.What is Tularemia?Tularemia is a potentially serious illness that occurs naturally in the United States. It is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis found in animals (especially rodents, rabbits, and hares).What are the Symptoms of Tularemia?Symptoms of tularemia could include: - sudden fever- chills - headaches- diarrhea - muscle - aches - joint pain - dry cough - progressive weaknessPeople can also catch pneumonia and develop chest pain, bloody sputum and can have trouble breathing and even sometimes stop breathing.Created: 1972

Under a moderately-high magnification of 8000X, this colorized scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted a large grouping of Gram-negative Legionella pneumophila bacteria. Please see PHIL 11092 through 11152 for additional SEMs of these organisms, specifically PHIL 11151 for a black and white version of this image. Of particular importance, is the presence of polar flagella, and pili, or long streamers, which due to their fragile nature, in some of these views seem to be dissociated from any of the bacteria.Created: 2009

At an extremely high magnification of 44, 818X, twice that of PHIL 10574 and 10575, this colorized scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed some of the morphologic details displayed by a single Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacterium. This bacterium was a member of the strain, 0:169 H41 ETEC (Enterotoxigenic E. coli). See PHIL 10576 for a black and white version of this image.Enterotoxigenic E. coli, a common cause of bacterial diarrhea
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, or ETEC, is an important cause of bacterial diarrheal illness. Infection with ETEC is the leading cause of travelers' diarrhea and a major cause of diarrheal disease in underdeveloped nations, especially among children. ETEC is transmitted by food or water contaminated with animal or human feces. Although ETEC causes a significant amount of illness worldwide, the infection will end on its own and is rarely life-threatening.Created: 2008
