For the Discussion Board this week, you will pretend to be an epidemiologist working at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, GA. An outbreak of a food-borne illness has occurred, and it is your job to report this to the public. Have fun with this!
Here are the specific directions for the Module this week:
1). Research a specific pathogen that would be involved in an outbreak of a food-borne illness. For example: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, Clostridium botulinum, Clostirdium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, etc.

The specific food source that was linked to the outbreak
The specific pathogen responsible for this outbreak
How was this pathogen identified as the cause of this outbreak?
5. The morphology of the organism: What is the Gram stain result?
The signs and symptoms that would be seen in the patient as a result of this infection
What the public needs to know about how this infectious disease can be treated and prevented
Options for presentation:
