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.org.

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.

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 called quorum 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

on September 14, 2016.

What is Quorum Sensing? Accessed at
https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/quorum/what.htm
on September 14, 2016.

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?
