MICROBIOLOGY PRSENTATION
Topic: streptococcus pneumonia
Presentation title: you should think of a creative title for your presentation

Format: PowerPoint presentation
Visual Aids: tables, figures, diagrams, graphs, photos, maps, etc… (you should have a good balance of word & figures throughout the presentation) – if you would like to use a figure from the textbook email me, and I will provide it for you. You must request the image no later than 2 days before your presentation
What you will cover:
1. Pathogen / type of microbe
a. Is your pathogen a virus or bacterium?
b. Scientific name of the pathogen
i. For a virus give the family of viruses your specific virus belongs to
ii. For a bacteria give the genus and species name
c. For bacteria:
i. Is it Gram-positive or Gram-negative?
ii. What is the morphology?
iii. What are the oxygen requirements (aerobic, anaerobic, etc…)
iiii. Does your bacterium have any special structural features? (capsule, flagella, endospore, etc…)
v. What type of cell or tissue does it infect/colonize?
d. For viruses:
i. What type of genome does it have? (DNA or RNA)
ii. Is it enveloped or naked?
iii. Does it have any proteins associated with the virion?
iiii. What type of cell does the virus infect?
v. What are the host cell receptors?
2. Diseases – list any disease(s) your pathogen causes
3. Epidemiology – (do not spend a lot of time on this portion of the talk)
a. What regions locations is pathogen typically found? (widespread or only found in a certain area?)
b. What is the mortality rate? With or without treatment?
c. Is there a particular population that is more susceptible to the pathogen?
4. Transmission
a. How is the disease transmitted?
b. Are there multiple modes of transmission?
c. What is the common reservoir for the pathogen?
d. Is transmission seasonal?
5. Symptoms
a. What are the major symptoms associated with the primary disease caused by the pathogen?
b. Explain any medical terms
c. Are any symptoms unique to the pathogen or disease?
d. Does the pathogen cause a chronic or acute illness?
e. What is the incubation period? (how long before symptoms show up)
6. Diagnosis
a. Are any clinical symptoms diagnostic for the pathogen/disease?
b. How is the disease/infection commonly diagnosed?
c. Are there any special lab tests? If so, what do they detect? DNA, protein, etc..?
7. Treatment & Prevention
a. What common drugs or therapies are used to treat the disease/infection?
b. Is drug resistance common in your pathogen?
c. Are there any actions or drugs that can be used to prevent infection or spread?
8. Major virulence factor(s) - does your pathogen have any specific proteins, structures, features, or mechanisms that it uses to cause disease? If so, state them and give a brief explanation, as time allows.
9. References – list all references used to gather information. You do not need to present the references. Just list them on the last slide of your presentation.
Information sources: Your textbook will serve as your primary reference. However, you will most likely need additional references to gather all of the required information. A couple of acceptable sources are listed below:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: https://www.cdc.gov/
World Health Organization: http://www.who.int/en/
MicrobeWiki: https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/MicrobeWiki
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOURCE!!!! You may use a source other than the two listed above if it is another textbook or a reputable scientific website. You can ask me if you are unsure!

Additional Considerations:
• The font used in your presentation should be block print. No cursive or script fonts.

You determined in the previous assignment the exact volume of 50X TAE that you will need. I suggest that you make 40 ml of 50X TAE so that you have some extra (just in case you need it). The recipe for one liter of 50X TAE is as follows: ¥ 242g Tris base ¥ 57.1 ml glacial acetic acid ¥ 100 ml 0.5 M EDTA pH 8.0 9. Provide a recipe for 40 ml of 50X TAE. 10. When you make your agarose gel, you will need to make 50 ml of 1% (w/v) agarose in 1X TAE. How much agarose will you require? [you will make this later, not on Solution day]
