Question Description

I would love some help!  I have FIVE microbiology papers I could really use help writing.  If references are used, it needs to be in MLA format and the questions that need to be addressed in the papers are listed below.  There is no limit on the number of pages: the questions about the organisms, their disease and disease processes, etc, just need to be answered.   

1.) Please discuss the mechanisms that Bordetella pertussis, Streptococcus pneumoniae,

Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis utilize to cause disease in the

respiratory tract. You must state what disease these microorganisms cause and what role does

transduction play in their disease causing process. In addition, please discuss the host immune

defenses the microbes would have to overcome to be successful at causing disease. Also, please

discuss what the microbe could contain that would allow them to overcome these host immune

responses, and the association between normal flora and respiratory tract infections. Include a

discussion what roles personal hygiene, quorum sensing and sequential timing play in microbial

respiratory tract diseases. What’s a receptor-mediated process? What’s the significance of SOD

and catalase to the pathogenesis of Bordetella pertussis? What’s an obligate aerobe? What’s

generalized and specialized transduction and their significance to the pathogenesis of

Streptococcus pneumoniae and Corynebacterium diphtheriae?

2.) Please discuss the mechanisms that Clostridium tetani and botulinum, Streptococcus

pneumoniae and Trypanosoma cruzi and brucei. utilize to cause disease in the nervous system.

You must state what disease these microorganisms cause. In addition, please discuss the host

immune defenses that the microbes would have to overcome to be successful at causing disease.

(Hint: A.) Include the three routes of entry to gain access to the nervous system and the role of the

blood brain barrier. B.) Explain what physical trauma has to do with microbial diseases of the

nervous system. C.) Include a discussion on quorum sensing, and its relationship to diseases in

the nervous system.) Include a discussion what roles personal hygiene and sequential timing play

in microbial nervous system diseases. Please include methods to prevent Clostridium tetani and

botulinum from causing disease. Also, include a section on whether or not we can eradicate

Trypanosoma spp.and why we probably cannot develop a vaccine for Trypanosoma

infections.Lastly, please include a section on the relationship between toxoids and Clostridiuim

tetani and botulinum.

3.) Please discuss the mechanisms that Neisseria gonorrheae, E. coli, Staphylococcus

saprophyticus and HIV utilize to cause disease in the urogenital tract. You must state what

disease these microorganisms cause. In addition, please list and explain the host immune defenses

that the microbe would have to overcome to be successful at causing disease. Include in your

discussion the basic differences between the female and male urogenital, which could play a role

in the success of these microbes to cause disease. Also, please discuss the association between

normal flora and urogential infections, and the role of the port of entry and exit for the microbes

to establish successful infections. Please include methods to prevent these microorganisms from

disease. In addition, please include on HIV’s ability to use reverse transcription and integration

into the host’s genome

4.) Please discuss the mechanisms that Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus

aureus,Propionibacterium acnes and Streptococcus pyogenes utilize to cause disease on skin and

in the eyes. You must state what disease these microorganisms cause. In addition, please list and

explain the host immune defenses that the microbe would have to overcome to be successful at

causing disease (Include a discussion what role personal hygiene plays in microbial skin and eye

infections). Also, please list and explain what the microbes could contain that would allow them

to overcome these host immune responses. Please explain how these infections could lead to

more serious conditions such as endocarditis. (Hint: Discuss the relationship between local and

systemic infections and septicemia.) Include a discussion what roles quorum sensing and

sequential timing play in microbial skin and eye diseases.

5.) Please discuss the mechanisms that Streptococcus mutans, Helicobacter pylori, E. coli and

Staphylococcus aureus and Taenia solium utilize to cause disease in the digestive tract. In

addition, please list and explain the host immune defenses that microbes would have to overcome

to be successful at causing disease. As we have studied, some parasites can cause digestive tract

infections and some have the ability to form cysts. Please explain how a cyst may play a role in

the ability of the parasite to cause disease. In addition, please explain the difference between

excystation and encystation. Also, please discuss the association between normal flora and

digestive tract infections, and the role of the port of entry and exit for the microbes to establish

successful infections. Include a discussion what roles personal hygiene, quorum sensing and

sequential timing play in microbial digestive tract diseases. In addition, please state in your

answer the roles of proper food preparation and sanitation play in the decrease of microbial

digestive tract infections and the significance of a capsule on particular strains of E. coli that

causes digestive tract infection vs. strains of E. coli that cause urinary tract infections.

Choose one evidence-based practice that you see yourself using as a provider in your clinical practice and discuss how it meets the listed benefits.
Why should we, as healthcare providers, use evidence-based practice?
Evidence-based practice benefits:

Leads to highest quality care and patient outcomes
Reduces health care costs
Reduces geographic variations in the delivery of care
Increases healthcare provider empowerment and role satisfaction
Reduces healthcare provider turnover rate
Increases reimbursement from 3rd party payers
Reduces complications and payment denials
Meets the expectation of an informed public

Include 3 evidence-based articles to support your work that are less than 3 years old.
Before finalizing your work, you should:

be sure to read the Assignment description carefully (as displayed above);
consult the Grading Rubric (under the Course Home) to make sure you have included everything necessary; and
utilize spelling and grammar check to minimize errors.   4 pages not including title and reference pages

Support your ideas with at least three (3) citations in your essay. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page do not count towards the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

Write an essay addressing the following prompts:

1. Electronic health records (EHRs) are easier to read than the paper charts of the past, but many complain that healthcare providers are focusing too much on the computer screen instead of the patient.
   • Is this due to lack of skill or training, poor computer system design, or just the nature of computer charting?
   • Is patient care suffering from the implementation of EHRs?
   • Charting in an EHR consist of clicking boxes, do you feel this provides enough detail about the patient, condition, and events if there was a law suit?
2. Hebda, Hunter and Czar (2019) identify three types of data that is currently being tracked by organizations (p. 46).
   • Identify and explain another type of data, specific to your practice, that is being tracked by an organization.
   • Why do you feel this data is important to track? 
   • Identify and discuss the organization that is tracking the data.
   • Are there any ethical concerns with an outside organization tracking this data, explain and give examples?
3. In this week’s discussion post, you identified and explain the topic selected for the project.
   • Provide a description of your selected topic based on input from the discussion forum. What is your project, why is it relevant to this class, and why is it important to you?
   • Identify an informatics/healthcare theory from pages 29-30 of the textbook that aligns with the project and explain why.

Assignment Expectations: 

Length: 500 words per essay prompt/each section (1500 total for this assignment)
