You have isolated a new human pathogenic bacterium. Using the knowledge you’ve gained in this course, explain steps you would do to:

1. Confirm it’s a new bacterial species (6 marks)

2. Bioinformatically, identify virulence genes of the bacterium (6 marks)

3. Design experiment(s) to confirm the function of one of the virulence genes you identified from step 2 (8 marks)
