Lab Signature Assignment is an oral report on a microbial disease. Create power point 8 slides response that includes the following:

  1. Select a disease that affects humans or animals whose causative agent is a bacterium.




  2. Create and deliver a presentation on your chosen disease in which you report on each of the following in detail:





    • Causative Agent:Describe and classify the microbe involved. If known, explain how the microbe causes/transmits the disease or interferes with normal body function. Also, describe the vector and/or life cycle for the microbe (if applicable).





    • Population(s) affected:What population(s) is/are at highest risk of contracting the disease? Are there any groups of people who should be tested? Please include statistical/geographical data and trends (from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, or other source [http://www.cdc.gov,http://www.who.int, etc.]).





    • Course of Disease:What are the usual signs/symptoms of someone with the disease? How is the disease diagnosed? What is the usual time course for recovery? Are there complications and/or long-term effects?





    • Interventions:Describe possible treatments and/or medical interventions. Is there a vaccine available? How can the disease be best prevented or kept under control?

Introduction
· Cholera is an acute illness caused by water or food infected with the Vibrio cholerae bacterium being swallowed
· A bacterial disease commonly transmitted by polluted water is cholera.
Extreme diarrhea and vomiting are caused by cholera. Left untreated, cholera, also in previously healthy individuals, can be lethal within hours. As indicated by Wierzba (2019), the danger of a cholera outbreak is greatest when poverty, conflict or natural disasters cause people lacking proper sanitation to stay in crowded conditions.
Causative Agent
· Cholera infection caused by a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae.
· In all individuals that are exposed to them, cholera bacteria do not cause disease, but they also transfer bacteria into their stools, which may pollute food and clean water sources.
· Vibrio cholerae’s life cycle enables the bacterium to function for years in an aquatic ecosystem, its natural habitat, where crustaceans, zooplankton and algae conform to it.
· Vibrio Cholerae can multiply and reproach the free life cycle underneath the required environmental conditions.
A toxin that the bacteria create in the small intestine is the product of the fatal effects of the disease. The toxin causes large quantities of water to be secreted by the body, causing diarrhea and a dramatic deterioration of fluid balance (electrolytes). If the atmosphere is negative, however, this pathogen is strong enough to maintain a dormant, inactive, culture-unidentifiable and chlorine-resistant condition. The infectious cycle of this bacillus happens when, through wastewater and tainted food, the bacteria migrate from their aquatic environment into an individual. Contaminated humans excrete a bacterium that contaminates a new environment and new sources of water. Those that are contaminate, causing significant environmental pollution and rapid transmission to other human beings, typically excrete high amounts of bacteria.
Population Affected
· The number of cholera cases during 2011 was 573,981, with a fatality rate of 1.3 percent, according to the World Health Organization's epidemiological survey.
· As indicated by Fitria and Syafi’i (2019), the African continent, where mortality rates are much higher than in Haiti and the Dominican Republic
