ELISA: Positive for Bacterial Meningitis
BLAST: Pathogen found was Neiseria Meningitidis
Final Diagnosis: Bacterial Meningitis
Explanation:Due to the serial dilution we found that Sue was positive Bacterial Meningitis, and the disease found by BLAST disease that is connected to this was Neiseria Meningitis.
ELISA: Positive for Bacterial Meningitis
BLAST: Pathogen found was Neiseria meningitidis
Final Diagnosis: Bacterial meningitis
Explanation: Due to the serial dilution we found that Jill was positive Bacterial Meningitis, and the disease found by BLAST disease that is connected to this was Neiseria Meningitis..
ELISA: Negative for Bacterial Meningitis
BLAST: Pathogen found was Influenza B virus
Final Diagnosis: Influenza
Explanation: Due to the results of the serial dilution Anthony was negative for Bacterial Meningitis. So when we used BLAST we found that the pathogen that he had was Influenza B Virus
ELISA: Negative for Bacterial Meningitis
BLAST: Pathogen found was Epstein-Barr virus
Final Diagnosis: Infectious mononucleosis
Explanation: Due to the serial dilution we found that Wanda was positive Bacterial Meningitis, and the pathogen found by BLAST was Epstein-Barr virus.
ELISA: Negative for Bacterial Meningitis
BLAST: Pathogen found was Streptococcus pyogenes strain
Final Diagnosis: Due to the serial dilution we found that Maggie was negative for Bacterial Meningitis, and the pathogen found by BLAST was Streptococcus pyogenes strain
ELISA: Positive for Bacterial Meningitis
BLAST: Pathogen found was Neiseria meningitidis
Final Diagnosis: Bacterial meningitis
Explanation: Due to the serial dilution we found that Maria was positive Bacterial Meningitis, and the disease found by BLAST disease that is connected to this was Neiseria Meningitis.
ELISA: Negative for Bacterial Meningitis
BLAST: Pathogen found was Influenza B virus
Final Diagnosis: Due to the serial dilution we found that Arnie was negative for Bacterial Meningitis, and the disease found by BLAST disease was Infuenza B virus.
ELISA: Positive for Bacterial Meningitis
BLAST: Pathogen found was Neiseria meningitidis
Final Diagnosis: Bacterial meningitis
Explanation: The pathogen found using BLAST was Bacterial Meningitis, and the disease that is connected to this was Neiseria Meningitis.
ELISA: Negative for Bacterial Meningitis
BLAST: Pathogen found was Epstein-Barr virus
Final Diagnosis: Due to the serial dilution we found that Alvin was negative Bacterial Meningitis, and the pathogen found by BLAST was Infectious mononucleosis
Relationships of Each of the Patients
Bacterial meningitis pathways: Sue first got the disease from the campus when she visited her friend , then she could've gave the disease to Jill when they spent time together. Maria then contracted the disease from Jill and Sue because she kept eating their foods and drinks. Marco contracted the disease from Sue in class.
Strep throat: Maggie got the strep from anyone that should could've been close too.
Infectious Mononucleosis: Wanda most likely got this and then gave it to Alvin
