EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1906 showcases the spirillum of the Lyme disease causing bacteria, Spirochaetes Borrelia Recurrentis, in a blood sample. Created by an unknown German artist from the 20th century, this print is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the microscopic world of bacteria. Bacteria, which are prokaryotic microorganisms, come in various shapes and sizes. Ranging from spheres to rods and spirals, they have been present on Earth since its earliest days and can be found in diverse habitats such as soil, water, hot springs, radioactive waste sites, and even deep within Earth's crust. The intricate details captured in this lithograph highlight the complexity of these tiny organisms. The image reveals colonies of bacteria under a microscope slide; their cellular structures visible to those who study them closely. This print serves as a reminder that despite their small size, bacteria play significant roles in our lives - both beneficially and detrimentally. In particular, this artwork sheds light on Borrelia recurrentis - the bacterium responsible for causing Lyme disease. Transmitted through tick bites to humans or animals infected with it, Lyme disease can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. As we admire this historical lithograph today, it serves as a testament to early scientific discoveries about microorganisms like bacteria. It reminds us of our ongoing quest for knowledge about these invisible creatures that impact our health and well-being.
