About the Infection Spiral Bacterium black outline icon

A curved rod shaped bacterium fills the frame, its body speckled with dashes and small ringed dots and its whole outline fringed with straight flagella. It reads as bacterial infection, gut microbes and pathogens such as H. pylori, and suits medical and gastroenterology sites, lab reports, hygiene campaigns, biology teaching material and pharmaceutical packaging.

The comma-like body sweeps diagonally across the square, and the evenly spaced hair-like flagella radiate outward to suggest movement. Pair it with virus, microscope and petri dish icons, and give it 48 px or more so the thin flagella do not disappear.

This is the black outline version of the infection spiral bacterium icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
