Description
The Office of Homeland Security has contacted you and other microbiologists to develop criteria for what you believe to be the "key" characteristic of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that must be considered when planning for a bioterrorist threat. For this case assignment you are to identify a "key" characteristic for bacteria, viruses, and fungi, including structure, that you believe could be critical in understanding if an effective method for confronting a bioterrorist attack on a community is to be developed. The following are the requirements for this case assignment:
Review the characteristics of bacteria, viruses, and fungi and select one for each type of microorganism. For example, you may want to consider "spore forming" as a characteristic of bacteria, such as anthrax, which may serve to make it a viable bioterrorist weapon.
Justify your selection of the specific characteristics for the microorganisms selected above. Statements of justification must be factual and logical.
