False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Haemophilus influenzae (Pfeiffer's bacillus),a Gram negative,non-motile,non- sporing species of bacilli (rod-shaped bacteria). H. influenzae is exclusively a parasite of man,living in the upper respiratory tract of healthy individuals. Most sub- species are non-capsulate bacteria,but there are 6 types of capsulated strains (types a to f),of which type b is responsible for numerous incidences of bacterial meningitis in young infants. Other type b diseases include epiglottitis (inflammation of epiglottis),causing potentially fatal obstruction in airflow to lungs. Mag: X18000 at 35mm,x36000 at 6x7cm | |
