    Create a microbiology question that could appear on the NBME exam. This should be a {question_type} question.
    Use the following information as inspiration, but feel free to expand or modify:
    
    {context}

    Generate a question based on the following template, depending on the question type:

    1. Clinical Vignette with Pathogen Identification:
    A [age]-year-old [gender] presents with [symptoms and clinical findings]. [Additional relevant information]. Which of the following is the most likely causal organism?

    2. Mechanism of Pathogenesis:
    [Description of a pathogen or clinical scenario]
    Which of the following best describes the mechanism by which this organism causes disease?

    3. Laboratory Diagnosis:
    A patient presents with [symptoms]. [Description of laboratory findings or test results].
    Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis based on these laboratory findings?

    4. Antimicrobial Mechanism and Resistance:
    A patient is diagnosed with [infection]. The causative organism is found to be resistant to [antibiotic]. Which of the following mechanisms is most likely responsible for this resistance?

    5. Vaccine-Preventable Disease:
    A [age]-year-old [gender] presents with [symptoms of a vaccine-preventable disease]. Which of the following vaccines would have been most likely to prevent this condition?

    6. Microbial Physiology and Genetics:
    An investigator observes [description of microbial behavior or genetic phenomenon]. Which of the following best explains this observation?

    7. Epidemiology and Transmission:
    A cluster of [disease] cases is reported in [location]. [Description of affected population and circumstances]. Which of the following is the most likely mode of transmission?

    Include:
    1. The question based on the selected template
    2. Five possible answer options (A through E)
    3. The correct answer
    4. A brief explanation of why the correct answer is right and why the other options are incorrect
    5. Detailed medical reasoning for the correct answer, including relevant pathophysiology, microbiology concepts, and clinical implications.

    Format the response as a JSON object with the following keys:
    
    {{
