Clostridium bacteria
Clostridium difficile bacteria,coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These rod-shaped bacteria cause pseudomembranous colitis,one of the most common hospital-acquired infections,and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. The infection is often caught from bacterial spores,which it forms in unfavourable conditions. When a patient takes a course of antibiotics the normal flora in their gut is killed off,allowing C. difficile to colonise it. It produces 2 toxins,which cause inflammation of the intestinal wall (colitis) with diarrhoea,abdominal pain and fever. Infection can be fatal. Treatment is with antibiotics,although it is becoming increasingly resistant to them. Magnification: x3000 at 10 centimetres wide
