Microbiology

 

Assignment:

Topic: This week you have been introduced to the specific mechanisms (example: A-B toxin) that elicit the symptoms of disease in a host. Pick three of these mechanisms and describe each in a research paper. Please follow the expectations that are listed below.

Assignment Expectations:  

  • Length should be 1250-1500 words, not including Title and References pages (typed, 12 point font, double spaced).
  • These subheadings are required (content expectation is also provided)
    • Introduction (list the three mechanisms that you have picked and provide a brief overview)
    • Mechanism 1 (Describe the cellular source of the mechanism. Explain how this mechanism produces an effect inside the host. Provide an example pathogen that utilizes this mechanism).
    • Mechanism 2 (Describe the cellular source of the mechanism. Explain how this mechanism produces an effect inside the host. Provide an example pathogen that utilizes this mechanism).
    • Mechanism 3 (Describe the cellular source of the mechanism. Explain how this mechanism produces an effect inside the host. Provide an example pathogen that utilizes this mechanism).
    • Professional application (Explain how understanding these mechanisms increases the effectiveness of a nurse).
  • Support your content with at least (3) citations. Make sure to reference the citations using APA writing style for the presentation.
