This position paper presents the (Appendix 1) that were developed by a committee effort of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM). These guidelines differ from the 2012 presented by a separate ASM taskforce. The fact that some U.S. nursing programs are eliminating microbiology courses from their curriculum prompted the development of curriculum guidelines focused on nursing and allied health. Here we review: 1) factors that have shifted microbiology's place in health professions curricula (with a focus on nursing associate degree programs); 2) resources to support microbiology's inclusion in nursing and allied health programs; and 3) recommendations for maintaining microbiology as a full course (lecture and laboratory) in nursing and allied health undergraduate curricula.
本立场文件介绍了由美国微生物学会（ASM）委员会共同努力制定的[具体内容]（附录1）。这些指南与ASM另一个特别工作组在2012年提出的[相关内容]不同。美国一些护理项目从其课程中取消微生物学课程这一事实促使了专注于护理和相关健康领域的课程指南的制定。在此，我们回顾：1）使微生物学在健康专业课程中的地位发生变化的因素（重点是护理学副学士学位项目）；2）支持将微生物学纳入护理和相关健康项目的资源；以及3）关于在护理和相关健康本科课程中维持微生物学作为一门完整课程（讲座和实验室）的建议。
