Microbial Research Paper
You will pick a microorganism for your paper on pathology or microbe-environment
interactions. The organism cannot be one of the ones that is covered in the Course Schedule
section of the Course Syllabus. Select a pathogen/microbe from current events that is an
emerging or reemerging concern to you or people in your area. Provide local epidemiological
data/statistics for the organism. I WILL NOT choose or approve your topic. You will follow the
guidelines. If you email me about your topic, I will refer you back to the guidelines.
Please be sure to view the Sample Microbial Research Paper posted on the main course page.
Your paper must include all the following:
• The paper should be a minimum of 5 pages of relevant and informative material that
covers all the content and requirements listed below and in the rubric. The 5
pages does not include the title and reference pages. The paper should thoroughly
inform the reader
.
1. Introduction to the organism (structure, cell type, morphology, metabolic requirements,
natural reservoir, history, etc.)
2. Introduction to the disease(s) caused by the organism (epidemiology, signs, symptoms,
etc.) OR introduction to the environmental impact of the organism
3. List and describe factors employed by the organism to assist in its growth, reproduction,
culture conditions, host/pathogen interactions and/or virulence. (e.g. nitrogen fixation,
symbiotic interactions etc.) Categorize virulence factors by mechanisms of action
(Immunity Avoidance, Tissue/Cell Lysis, Colonization/Spread)
4. Discussion of treatment/prevention options for the disease(s) caused by the organism
(Antibiotics or other chemotherapeutics given as part of treatment and their
mechanisms of action, Vaccines available and type)
• APA format. This includes citations and references
• Title page must have a title (name of the disease selected), student name, instructor
name, course title, and date.
• No direct quotes; put information into your own words or paraphrase
• 3 primary and at least 2 secondary scholarly sources
