TL;DR: The disappearance of the microorganism accompanied by the unequivocal decrease of most indicators of active T- and B-cell immune response strongly supported a pathogenetic role for B burgdorferi in sustaining an antigen-driven development and growth of this cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma.

TL;DR: A novel method for molecular typing of organisms, amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis, was tested for its suitability in epidemiological studies in medical microbiology and is fast, efficient, and reproducible for typing strains of Legionella pneumophila isolated from both humans and the environment.

TL;DR: The molecular phylogeny obtained here matches the classical morphological taxonomy reasonably well and it is impossible to clearly separate the Muscoidea and Calliphoridae, preventing a firm conclusion on the phylogenetic relationships among Muscoidaa families.

TL;DR: No association between distinct clones and clinical manifestations (sepsis, abscesses, diarrhoea, geographical origin or host origin (human or animal) could be found.

TL;DR: A fragment of the terminal region of the mitochondrial gene COI was sequenced in scathophagid species covering a wide geographic area, as well as a diverse spectrum of ecological habitats and confirmed monophyly of most genera, except for the genus Scathophaga, which should be divided into several different taxa.
