Trident mic100 module 1 and 2 case and slp 2018
Case Assignment
In this activity you will be researching a microbiologist who has made an important contribution to the study of microbiology. Next you can choose an area of microbiology to research and find out about the scientists who are carrying on that type of research today.
Choose one of the following microbiologists: David Baltimore, Robert Koch, Louis Pasteur, Elizabeth Bugie Gregory, Antonie Van Leeuwenhook, Walter Reed or Margaret Pittman.
When researching your chosen area of microbiology, a good resource can be found here:http://www.microbeworld.
In a 2- to 3-page essay, address the following questions:
- Which microbiologist did you choose from the list above?
- What are his/her most notable accomplishments?
- What branch of microbiology did he/she specialize in (bacteriology, virology, protozoology, epidemiology, etc)?
- How is this branch of microbiology important in today’s world?
- Find a current researcher (2000-today) conducting studies in this field of microbiology. What are his/her most notable findings?
- How have these findings changed the field of microbiology and medicine?

Scholarly Content and Format
TUI encourages all students to comply with APA style and format guidelines for proper citation of references. Your case assignments are considered scholarly works. Your final work should include peer reviewed (scholarly) sources. Please use the formatting demonstrated in your Background section to cite the tutorials and readings from the Module Overview.
Please keep in mind that you should not use sources such as “Answers.com” or “Wikipedia” or “Wikianswers.” None of these are scholarly sources and they can be “modified” by any registered user which makes them unreliable.
Appropriate Headings and Paper Flow
Remember that you are preparing a formal academic paper. Your paper should make use of appropriate headings and subheadings. You should not cut and paste the questions posed and answer them like a “Question and Answer” session. Your finished paper should read like an academic paper. You will post your final essay as a Word document to the Case assignment dropbox.
SLP 1
Part I
Read the following chapters in the Microbiology etext available athttps://courses.lumenlearni
Introduction to Microbiology
- Introduction to Microbiology
- Microbes and the World
- The Science of Microbiology
- Describe Koch's Postulates and briefly summarize his contributions to the field of Microbiology.
Part II
Read the following chapters in the Microbiology etext available at https://courses.lumenlearni
Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryote Cell Structure
- Overview of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
- Cell Walls of Prokaryotes
Choose a resident microbe from the articleThe Nature of Bacterial Host-Parasite Relationships in Humans.
- Describe the symbiotic role of your chosen microbe within our microbiome.
- Do a little independent research to determine whether this microbe can become pathogenic. If so, describe the conditions under which this microbe assumes this opportunistic role. Be sure to cite articles used in your research and include a references section.

module 2
In the Module 2 Case Assignment you will explore bacterial growth and methods used to measure and control the growth of microbes. After you have read the information on the Home page, answer the following questions:- Review the video on metabolismagain from the Module Overview. Where is metabolism being accomplished in the human cell? Be specific and include a brief description of the organelle being described. Does a human cell accomplish aerobic or anaerobic metabolism?
- What does the video describe as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?
- Using the dichotomous key linked to the termidentify,which organisms in the first frame of the video have been described in previous module materials?
Now choose a pathogenic bacterium to discuss and find the antibiotic that can be used to control it. Use this link to Antibiotic Modes of Actionto learn more about how antibiotics work and to identify the appropriate antibiotic for your chosen pathogen. Use the following format to write this section of your Case Assignment:
Introduction
Include the growth requirements and phenotypic characteristics of your pathogenic bacteria. Refer to thedichotomous keys,growth patterns, and the CDC websiteto properly discuss these phenotypic descriptions of your pathogen.
Body Paragraph 1
Is this bacteria ONLY pathogenic or does it reside as a normal part of the Human Microbiome? If it is also a nonpathogenic resident microbe, what conditions create the pathogenic state? (We use the term "opportunistic pathogen" to describe this type of pathogen).
Body Paragraph 2
Describe the mode of action of the antibiotic class used to control this bacterium. Use the information you gathered from answering questions 1-3 about human cell metabolism to explain how antibiotics are specifically effective only against bacteria (while leaving human cells unharmed).
Conclusion
Summarize the topics you described and explain how the characteristics of your pathogen can be used to control it.

slp 2
Overview
Bacteria can talk to each other via molecules they produce themselves. In this way, bacteria can synchronize together and function as one large unit or colony. The phenomenon is calledquorum sensing, and is important to bacterial metabolism, growth and virulence. Watch the following video on “How Bacteria Talk”, then read the link below on “Quorum Sensing” to learn more.
Bassler, B.(2009). How Bacteria “talk”. Accessed at http://www.ted.com/talks/bo
What is Quorum Sensing? Accessed at https://www.nottingham.ac.u
Instructions
Prepare a 2- to 3-page paper in which you address the following questions:
- How would you define quorum sensing in bacteria?
- How can quorum sensing improve nutrient delivery to bacteria?
- Not all bacterial relationships are harmful like the example Dr. Bassler gave for the squid and bacterial bioluminescence. Describe an example of a microbial relationship in the human body that is beneficial. Which body system is involved (intestinal tract, skin, etc.)? Which bacterial species is involved? How is it beneficial for both the bacterium and host?
- What does the concept of quorum sensing mean for virulence and disease in humans?
- Based on Dr. Bassler’s research on quorum sensing, what might the “next generation” of antibiotics look like? How might they work?
