Figure 1-2 Transmission electron micrograph of a dividing cell of Escherichia coli 0157 H7 attached to the intestinal epithelium of a neonatal calf. These bacteria, which are able to efface the intestinal microvilli, form characteristic attachments, and secrete shiga toxins, are responsible for -73,000 illnesses and 60 deaths per year in the U. S.10a After embedding, the glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue section was immuno-stained with goat anti-0157 IgG followed by protein A conjugated to 10-nm gold particles. These are seen around the periphery of the cell bound to the O-antigen (see Fig. 8-28). Notice the two microvilli of the epithelium. Courtesy of Evelyn A.

Scanning electron micrographs of biooxidized pyrite showed the formation of deep pits in crystal surfaces. The pores appear to be hexagonal in cross-section, consistent with screw dislocations in a cubic crystal lattice (43), and suggesting that the bacteria have attacked...

A FIGURE 1-2 Prokaryotic cells have a simpler internal organization than eukaryotic cells, (a) Electron micrograph of a thin section of Escherichia coii, a common intestinal bacterium. The nucleoid, consisting of the bacterial DNA, is not enclosed within a membrane. E. coii and some other bacteria are surrounded by two membranes separated by the periplasmic space. The thin cell wall is adjacent to the inner membrane.

Dextrans are reported to interact with salivary proteins, " certain oral bacteria, and phosphate ions. It may be envisaged that each of these components could be actively incorporated into the matrix of a plaque that contains a dextran-gel network. The incorporation of proteins and phosphate ions, moreover, would impart a charge to this network thus, in addition to preventing the free exchange of macromolecules between saliva and the tooth surface, the dextran gel would have the capacity to control the rate at which calcium and phosphate ions leave the tooth surface, and this appears to be an important factor in the formation of natural, subsurface, caries lesions. In contrast, the diffusion of small, neutral molecules into plaque does not appear to be prevented by the dextran gel, as electron micrographs of plaques differentially stained for carbohydrates indicated that both endocellular and exocellular reserve-carbohydrates depleted by bacterial metabolism are rapidly re-formed in the presence of dietary sucrose. ... 

Figure 4.1 Presentation of bacterial biofilm development on abiotic surfaces, (a) Adhesion initially involves reversible association with the surface. As this proceeds bacteria undergo irreversible attachment with the substrate through cell surface adhesions. In later stages bacteria will start secreting a protective extracellular matrix and form microcolonies that develop into mature biofilms. These structures protect the bacteria firam host defenses and systemically administered antibiotics, (b) An electron micrograph of a biofilm-infected catheter.

Fig. 3. Immune electron micrographs of quantum dot-labeled bacteria. Mixtures of cultured HeLa cells and Chlamydia trachomatis elementary bodies (EB) were prefixed, probed with anti-EB rabbit serum, and labeled with goat anti-rabbit IgG/655 nm quantum dot conjugates. Thin sections examined by TEM (A) and cell layers examined by SEM (B) showed numerous quantum dots on bacterial surfaces, but not on host cells (unpublished data). Bars, 50 nm.

Cross-section of catheter at low magnification (left) shows the lumen of catheter filled with a thick biofilm, and numerous rodshaped bacteria embedded within the polymeric substance is clearly seen at higher magnification (right).
