Select an article on a pathogen in the last three years, apply knowledge learned in BIOS 242, and write a paper.
The goal for this project is:
to make connections between concepts learned in the course and what is observed in a health care setting
to understand real-life applications of microbiology
For this assignment, you will summarize an article about a pathogen of your choice, apply principles learned in BIOS 242 to your pathogen, and discuss the healthcare implications of this pathogen. After getting approval for your article and pathogen, review the rubric and be sure to address all aspects of the rubric. Use the Assignment Template hyperlinked above when writing your paper.
