• What are the clinical symptoms?
• What damage can it cause to humans or animals?
2. Significance
• What is the incidence of the disease?
• Consider using a map and/or graph to illustrate changes over time
3. What virulence factors are produced and what role do they play in the pathogenesis of the disease(s)?
• Look for recent review article(s)
• Look inside recently published textbooks
• Use search engines to find ‘original’ sources
• Don’t rely on third party representations for information
4. Diagnostic methods for detection of the disease
• Start with Koneman’s Color Atlas and Textbookof Diagnostic Microbiology, 2006 and then add to this by doing a literature search
• Include culture characteristics, significant phenotypic features
• Pay attention to the genes or products of virulence genes used in any detection tests
5. Prevention strategies
• Therapies (antibacterialsetc) including the availability/ usefulness of vaccines
