Pick a specific microbiome (i.e. skin, mouth, gut, reproductive) and discuss interesting points and how it is important to human health/diversity/etc. Here you can discuss any aspect of the microbiome that you like. Whatever is of most interest to you personally for example the uniqueness of an individual’s microbiome or disease states due to disruptions in bacterial communities, etc. Find a recent (2015 or newer) primary research article that investigates some aspect of the microbiome environment that you discussed in question 2 and discuss the findings and how it has increased our understanding of the microbiome.

Which of the following is NOT a true statement about microbial infections and disease? 1. Some infections are caused by normal microbiota acting as opportunistic pathogens 2. For some infections, a portion of infected people may never develop any signs or symptoms of disease 3. The time between the effective exposure and appearance of the very first signs or symptoms is called the incubation period 4. None of the other four answers (All are true statements) 5.

A microbiologist argued that there is no such thing as “normal” microbiota of the human body, since the population is dynamic and is constantly changing, depending on diet and external environment. What would be an argument against this microbiologist’s view?
Which of the following is a difference between transient and resident microbiota? Transient microbiota are pathogenic, and resident microbiota are not. Resident microbiota remain on the host for an extended period. Humans do not have transient microbiota. Transient microbiota can be opportunistic pathogens, and resident microbiota cannot. Resident microbiota cause disease and transient microbiota do not.
