Produced by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), this digitally colorized, scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image depicts four yellow-colored, spheroid shaped, methicillin-resistant, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria, as they were about to be ingested by a much larger, red-colored, human white blood cell (WBC). These bacteria were members of the Los Angeles Clone (LAC) strain of MRSA.
