As pretty as a picture (but a lot more deadly): Killer diseases as you've never seen them before

As pretty as a picture (but a lot more deadly): Killer diseases as you've never seen them before | Mail Online: "They look like works of modern art but these incredible images actually show some of the world’s deadliest diseases - including the Black Death and anthrax. Many of the specimens can have devastating affects on the human body and have caused major epidemics. But the bacteria, invisible to the naked eye, are shown in an extraordinary new light in these stunning images."

 E. coli bacteria, which under certain conditions can cause gastroenteritis and urinary tract infections. Some.strains also cause food poisoning. Magnification: x17,000
