After the workshop, @mafeeney suggested it would be good to ask students to consider their identification for Brucella/Ochrobactrum in the context of Koch's postulates.

Students will have encountered Koch's postulates in the lab, but this example is a potentially informative case where it would be unethical to infect/reinfect a patient, so the loop is not closed. It might be helpful to draw this to the students' attention, directly.

This point could be made via one of the formative questions within the workshop text, and/or as a drop-down section with a bit more information in it.

From @mafeeney in #7

-it would be good to explicitly link the material (i.e. via a call-out box in the main text) to:
a. link the material to Koch's postulates and help the students understand that these cannot be formally fulfilled in every case
b. help the students understand the upstream steps required to filter the data (i.e. removing host and kitome sequences
c. clinical micro, i.e.
UK SMI for blood cultures
SENTINEL LEVEL CLINICAL LABORATORY GUIDELINES FOR SUSPECTED AGENTS OF BIOTERRORISM AND EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES Brucella species - ASM
Brucella: laboratory and clinical services -gov.uk guidance
