#Microber2022 3: CONTAMINATE. Cerise the serratia had the sneaking suspicion they didn't quite belong here. The grub was great, but everyone kept giving them funny looks... #inktober2022

@iamscicomm Hi! I'm Eliza coli - microbiologist turned #freelance scientific #Illustrator. I just love making the invisible visible! I also draw weekly labrats cartoons for @ColabraHQ, based on my time in the lab, and am working on the sci-fi @AMR_comics anthology. lizawolfson.co.uk

Happy #PortfolioDay #SciArt people! I'm open to most things #Science & #Microbiology but I really enjoyed printmaking the invisible for @FEMSmicro last year. Portfolio & more: 🎯campsite.bio/eliza_coli I take commissions where I can and am always happy to chat! 😁

#Microber2021 31: MONSTROUS Monsters aren’t always made up, sometimes just spectres from the past. Variola virus caused Smallpox, a terrible disfiguring & often fatal disease. It was eradicated in 1980, but is still scary today. #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits #SciComm

#Microber2021 29: COLONY All my #PathogenPortraits have too many eyes, but Edwardsiella tarda colonies actually look like googly eyes when grown on the selective ET agar! In other news, E. tarda is mostly a nasty fish tummy bug... #Inktober2021 #SciArt #SciComm

#Microber2021 28: ADHESION Infectious disease can be caused by mere stickiness, as with misfolded Prion proteins. We all have Prions, but if infectious misfolded Prions stick to them, they mis-fold too & the stickiness spreads. #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits #SciComm

#Microber2021 27: STRAIN Strains have different properties. Asian lineage strains of Zika virus are associated with birth defects, neurological problems & epidemics, but African lineage strains of Zika virus don't seem to be. #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits #SciComm

#Microber2021 26: COMPETITION Dengue fever virus has 5 serotypes that compete for hosts. Primary infection with 1 makes further infection with another much more dangerous. So it’s a real killer competition! #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits #SciComm

#Microber2021 25: TRANSPOSON Also known as jumping genes, they’re a handy tool in a many pathogen's toolkit. Transposons give Cryptococcus neoformans the genetic room it needs to adapt & resist antibiotics during infection. #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits #SciComm

#Microber2021 24: ZOONOTIC Sometimes we're incidental hosts to pathogens. Ebolaviruses mostly infect non-human primates & bats. Our Ebola outbreaks start w. a spillover from these animals, before human to human spread takes over #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits #SciComm

#Microber2021 23: ANTIBIOTIC We REALLY need new antibiotics for Klebsiella pneumoniae. It’s a deadly hospital-acquired opportunist with many modes of antibiotic resistance that it can share easily with other pathogens. #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits #SciComm

#Microber2021 22: PERSISTENCE Treponema p. pallidum has been causing syphilis for >5 centuries. This persistent chap can establish lifelong latency, with tertiary symptoms starting up to 45 years after initial infection. #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits #SciComm

#Microber2021 21: PLASMID Some pathogens need a plasmid to cause disease, like Agrobacterium tumifaciens. Without the tumour-inducing Ti plasmid, it can’t cause crown gall disease in plants. #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits #SciComm
