When you are ready, respond to the topic below.

Please review the Discussion Board grading rubric in the course Syllabus. Discussion responses should be on topic, original, and contribute to the quality of the Discussion by making frequent informed references to lesson materials and Seminars. Initial Discussion responses should be around 100 words. Responses to your classmates or instructor should be around 50 words.

There is one topic to respond to this week. Respond to the topic and provide two or more responses to classmates that are thoughtful and advance the Discussion.

Choose your own microbial adventure

Imagine yourself to be a microbial pathogen, tell us the reason for your choice, and describe in detail the structures you would like to have in order to live in the habitat of your choosing and the factors needed to cause infection of a specific organ in humans.

The whole purpose of this paper is to learn about the bacteria(Gemella palaticanis). The title is Gemella palaticanis. The abstract should include what we did throughout the semester with the Bactria and what were the results (I took back from my left cheek and the organism that was found was Gemella palaticanis). Next is the introduction. In the introduction we basically talk about the bacteria (gemella palaticanis). What is it, where is it found and stuff like that. We can also talk about the genius (which is the family gemella) and the species( which is palaticanis) if we are not able to find any information on the organism. It is gram positive and it need 10 references. After the introduction is Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. In the discussion it can be opinionated and pretty open. We can make whatever statement we want but one question we have to answer is if we think that it is our organism or not ( I do not think it is). Below I’m going to attach an example of how it should be formatted and look kind of like.

Question: Describe a disease of the human body in laymen’s terms as though you caught it while on vacation. It must be a condition in which a EUKARYOTE is causing the disease. State the disease/condition that you have, where you were when you caught it (country or place), how it specifically affects you, how you likely caught it (source of ingesting or taking in the organism), and how you are being treated (either limiting or neutralizing the effects). The story can be completely fictional (Not real!) but the facts that you base your condition on should be facts.

In the initial post (100 word minimum), you must support your information with at least one appropriate URL. You are expected to respond to a minimum of one other student (50 word minimum). The discussion questions are worth a total of 15 points each.

Please limit the use of quotes. Quotes can support your answer but they cannot be your answer. Make your post simple and easy to understand. Pretend you are trying to explain your condition to a friend over the phone. You wouldn’t use scientific terminology; you would put it into everyday language.

Please type in the Subject line your organism and disease. This will make it easier for other students not to repeat posts. Once an example has been used for this discussion board it cannot be repeated for points.
