    • .doc, .docx, or .pdf
    • 4-6 written pages not including Title and Reference pages
    • No Abstract needed
    • APA formatted

Introduction

  1. Do not use letters, paper should be in paper format
  2. Type of pathogen
  3. Name of pathogen, relevant family name, and proper binomial nomenclature
  4. Is the pathogen transmissible or opportunistic (part of the normal flora)
  5. Associated infections/diseases

Description of the Microorganism

  1. Describe morphology of pathogen
  2. Appropriate visualization technique (staining and microscopy)

Virulence Factors

  1. Describe any relevant molecules, structures, or phenomenon that aids in the virulence of the pathogen Immunity
  2. Describe relevant innate responses
  3. Describe relevant adaptive responses
  4. Do not discuss vaccines here.

Infectious disease information

Describe the infectious disease caused by the microbe including:

  • Conditions including sign and symptoms
  • Duration
  • Complications

Be sure that in-text citations follow APA guidelines.

Predisposing factors

  • Is it opportunistic

Epidemiology

  • Incidence and Prevalence of disease (age, location, time of year)
  • Reservoirs, Mode of Transmission, Portals of Exit and Entrance
  • If relevant, is the disease classified as endemic, epidemic, pandemic.
  • Is this a reportable disease. Explain why.

Prevention

  • Appropriate PPE
  • Lifestyle, hygiene, and environmental factors
  • Any relevant vaccines or prophylactic medications

Treatment

  • Discuss relevant pharmacological agents and supportive treatments
  • Are there any incidences of antimicrobial resistance?

Clinical Relevance

What critical information should a nurse know about this pathogen if it presents in their practice?

Conclusion

Wrap everything up. A good academic research paper should bring everything full circle with a solid conclusion.

References

This final reference page needs to include any and all references, at least 4, you utilized to find information about your particular organism. Remember, the information needs to come from academic/scholarly resources. https://scholar.google.com/ is a great search engine to help you find academic resources. Sites such as Wikipedia are great to use as a reference/starting point to locate good articles; however, they cannot be used as a primary source of information.

***Tip: If you find information in Wikipedia, scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can usually find academic articles that authors have utilized to complete the information. Most of the time you can simply click on that article for a direct link, or simply search for the name of the article in our Library Database to find a complete text.

***Be sure that your in-text citations are accurate and follow APA formatting, again utilize the Purdue Owl website to help with that.
