Morphology, Structure, and Function of Typical Bacteria, Viruses, and Fungi, and Classification of Microorganisms Introduction Background Information Case assignment Session Long Project Objectives In Module 1 you selected an example of resident microbiota. STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIS In this Module, selected another resident microbe ALPA­HEMOTYTIC STREPTOCCI from “Chapter 2: Host­Microbe Interactions” in A Concise Manual of Pathogenic Microbiology, that can cause disease in humans. 1. Discuss the germ theory of disease. 2. Describe the human diseases which are produced by the pathogenic microorganism selected. Does it exist in a non­pathogenic state as well? Under what health condition can the disease be produced? Include in your discussion: •The differences between eukaryotic and prokaroytic cells. •Three phenotypic systems used to classify microbes. •Use the classification system discussed to classify each microbe selected in Modules 1 and 2. Module 2 ­ Structure and Evolution of Microbes • Introduction: Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes and the three pheontypic systems used to classify microbes • Organism 1, classification • Organism 2, classification • Comparisons and contrasts, pathogenic vs non­pathogenic states, opportunistic or symbiotic? Length: Each module SLP should be approximately a minimum of 3 pages or approximately 500 to 650 words.
