Description
Haemolytic Streptococcus and E coli, Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Streptococci (blue) are Gram positive cocci that grow in chains. Group A and B streptococci are two groups of beta haemolytic streptococci. Group A streptococci (GAS) are a cause of many infectious diseases both invasive and non invasive. Over one third of invasive GAS diseases are skin and soft tissue infections, the most severe being necrotizing fasciitis. Group B streptococci (GBS) are the leading cause of neonatal meningitis in the UK, accounting for 42-48% of positive cases. Escherichia coli (E.coli) (pink) is a Gram-negative, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Escherichia commonly found in the lower intestine. Virulent strains of E. coli can cause gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections, and neonatal meningitis. Magnification: x 4000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.
