圖片來源: American Society for Microbiology?這張照片由美國加利福尼亞州Cabrillo College的微生物實驗室的技術(shù)人員Tasha Sturm拍攝。她在8歲的兒子在戶外玩耍并撫摸愛犬之后,把兒子的手按在了實驗室用于微生物培養(yǎng)的瓊脂平板上。兩天之后,兒子手上的細(xì)菌在瓊脂板上大量的增殖,綻放成了這束怪誕的 “手掌花” 。雖然在日常情況下,我們不會看到細(xì)菌在手上 “開枝散葉” ,但是,這張圖能夠直觀的告訴我們即使肉眼看不見,我們的手其實是沾滿細(xì)菌的。當(dāng)你揉眼睛時,這些細(xì)菌很容易的就被轉(zhuǎn)移,接種到眼睛里,這個時候,溫暖濕潤的眼睛就變成 “細(xì)菌培養(yǎng)皿” ,在致病細(xì)菌大量繁殖之后,就會導(dǎo)致感染,發(fā)生結(jié)膜炎,也就是俗稱的 “紅眼病” 。
