Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Salmonella enteritidis, Gram-negative, enteric, rod prokaryote; note the polar flagellum. This zoonotic microorganism causes salmonellosis (food poisoning) in humans when infected fowl, domestic mammals or turtles contaminate milk, eggs, meat, poultry or shellfish (which humans ingest). Magnification: x9,000 when shortest axis printed at 25 millimetres.
