Caption:
This transmission electron microscopic (TEM) image depicts what had been a thrombus, or blood clot, which had been due to an infection, caused by the bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi, formerly known as Rickettsia tsutsugamushi. This scenario took place inside a mouse brain capillary. The rickettsial organisms were contained within an endothelial cell, near the cell’s luminal surface.
