2- Influenza Virus

For the second research paper, my possible research topic is ” Explain how the influenza virus evolves”. and my possible disease is pneumonia and the bacterium is klebsiella pneumoniae.
Please follow the instructions and steps on how to write the disease and bacterium, plus the rubics instructions. all attachments were added. double space typing pls. in-text citation and work cited pages making it 4 pages. MLA format.
Possible Research Paper topics:
1. How are thermophiles able to survive such extreme conditions?
2. What characteristics/properties do endospores have that allow them to resist boiling, uv light, lack of water and nutrients?
3. Compare the rate of evolution of bacteria compared to eukaryotes such as protozoans.
4. What factors contribute to bacterial antibiotic resistance?
5. What specific mechanisms do bacteria use to resist antibiotics?
6. What new antibiotics have been brought to market in the last ten years? How do they work?
7. Explain how the influenza virus evolves.
8. Explain how the flu vaccine is developed annually.
9. What does research say about the link between vaccines and autism?
10. What viruses cause the common cold?
11. What are recent developments in the fight against HIV/AIDS?
12. What is the current state of measles around the world?
13. Influenza pandemics
14. How did MRSA become VISA and VRSA?
15. How does the causative agent of Chagas disease evade the immune system for years and years?

For any of the bacterial diseases be sure to address the following:
1. Morphology, arrangement, and gram stain of the bacterium
2. Symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease.
3. Incubation period, duration of illness, and convalescence period.
4. Chemotherapeutic agents (drugs) used for treatment.
5. Vaccines available?
6. How is the bacterium transmitted?
7. How can the bacterium/illness be avoided?
8. Any additional distinguishing/notable features of the bacterium and/or disease. (ex: the bacterium is Acid Fast or has a capsule; the bacterium produces a toxin; the illness is the second leading cause of death due to an infectious agent, etc.)
