The role of molecular methods in diagnosing infection has yet to be determined.
Together, such methodologies may constitute a novel platform for the integration of molecular methods in clinical decision-making.
Despite being a small collection of isolated Lactobacillus species, Lactobacillus brevis species was the dominant species among the identified isolates using molecular methods in this collection.
There are no studies on the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA by molecular methods in the saliva of newborn infants in large scale screening programs.
In this review, we discuss the contribution of the main molecular methods in breast cancer research and how this information is changing our approaches to the diagnosis and management of this disease.
The English literature from 1995 to 2008 was reviewed to identify best available evidence regarding the prognostic value of isolated tumor cells and micrometastases detected with various immunohistochemistry and molecular methods in non small cell carcinoma patients.
The goals of this study were to test H. pylori presence via molecular methods in freshwater, estuarine and beach sites in Delaware over both short and long time scales and to establish whether fecal indicator bacteria, including total Enterococcus and human-specific Bacteroidetes species, are predictive of the pathogen in these waters.
Classifications published since the use of molecular methods in phylogenetics have taken a narrower view of the Liliaceae.
The emerging of international initiatives such as the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (www.barcoding.si.edu) is expected to greatly expand the benefits of molecular methods in this field.
Human tuberculosis was confirmed by morphological and molecular methods in a population living in one of the first villages with evidence of agriculture and animal domestication.
This improvement by molecular methods in identification of pathogens can be sustained by targeting appropriate gene targets and adopting sensitive detection techniques.
