Pathogen Project (50points)

You each have been assigned a bacterial pathogen on which you will prepare a research report following these specific guidelines: Format ( pts): pages (not including references) with one inch margins! single spaced! "rial or #elvetica font $ ! divide the report into the following sub sections listed below% General Characteristics (6pts): includes information on cell morphology and other general features of the organism (for e&ample: gram status! motility! intracellular pathogen! spore former! anaerobic etc)% 'ome pathogens may have been previously classified under a different name or are still commonly referred to as a different name! ma(e sure to include this information% Encounter (4pts): )here is the organism found! including reservoirs! how do we encounter it% Disease Presentation (5pts): *escribe all diseases associated with the pathogen and infection% +e specific and thorough% Entry, Spread, Multiplication, Dama e (!"pts): *escribe how the pathogen enters the host! how it persists! strategies for evasion of host immune defenses and survival! what is resultant damage to host cells,tissues% #irulence $actors (%pts): *escribe in detail the major virulence factors utili-ed by this pathogen% 'ome pathogens may have many so pic( the most important and well studied% .thers may not be as well characteri-ed! describe what is (nown% Pre&ention, 'reatment (4pts): *escribe any preventative therapies (eg vaccine if available) or treatments that are used to effectively

treat infection% (ecent literature (!"pts): +riefly summari-e the most recent )e* papers (+,-) on the pathogen! could include a description of a virulence factor! a new treatment or case studies describing the incidence of disease% /a(e sure to include these papers in your cited 0eferences% (e)erences (+pts): +asically a +ibliography of the references you have used to complete this report% 1nclude websites and primary papers% +elow are your randomly assigned pathogens listed by last name% (spp refers to species! meaning that you are not limited to one particular species)
