DIRECTIONS
Introduction: (approximately 500 words)
In the introduction section you would include patient information, general information about the identification process and pertinent background information about the general type of disease (ie: urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, etc). DO NOT give the final pathogen diagnosis, save that for later. (Don’t forget the in-text citations MLA format where needed!)
DO NOT USE QUOTATIONS. Quotes are not a way to get away with copying from a source. We don’t use quotes in science writing! Everything should be put into your own words and then credit given to the source through in-text citations.
