Bacterial Bouquet

Blaise Boles, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that many healthy people carry on their skin and in their noses without getting sick. But when skin is punctured or broken, staph bacteria can enter the wound and cause infections, which can lead to other health problems. This is an image of three bacterial cells, nestled in a fibrous material that helps the bacteria colonize surfaces like the inside of your nose.
