Immunolocalization of antigens by IHC provides histomorphologic correlation between the infectious pathogen and host tissue responses, which is not only crucial for diagnosis but also important to study the pathogenesis of those emerging infections [ 19, 21, 39, 40 ] . PCR ampli fi cation undoubtedly is the most sensitive method available to detect microbial organisms in tissue specimens and has become a common practice in many pathology laboratories. These differential 16S rRNA gene PCR assays provide more speci fi c information regarding the bacteria identity and are very useful for detecting bacterial pathogens in tissue samples in conjunction with histopathologic evaluation, special stains, and IHC. ./cache/cord-017767-zj1h5ixf.txt ./txt/cord-017767-zj1h5ixf.txt
