Introduction: Gram-negative bacillary bacteremia poses a significant threat, ranking among the most severe infectious diseases capable of triggering life-threatening sepsis. Despite the unambiguous involvement of neutrophils in this potentially fatal disease, there are limited data about the molecular signaling mechanisms, phenotype, and function of human neutrophils during the early phase of gram-negative bacillary bacteremia.
Methods: By using an unbiased proteomics and flow cytometry approach, we identified an antigen-presenting cell (APC)-like phenotype in human peripheral blood neutrophils (PMN) with MHC class II molecule expression in the early phase of bacteremia.

Fossils can document the morphological diversification through time and date lineages, providing relevant characters are preserved. Klimaszewsi, 1997 was erected for Klimaszewsi, 1997 on the basis of a single, partly damaged male from Dominican amber. Originally assigned to Rhinocolidae: Paurocephalinae, the genus was subsequently transferred to Psyllidae: Aphalaroidinae.

Today 37 species in 17 genera are known from eastern Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and Patagonia, and the peloridiids are thereby a group with a classical southern Gondwanan distribution. To explicitly test whether the present-day distribution of the Peloridiidae actually results from the sequential breakup of southern Gondwana, we provide the first total-evidence phylogenetic study based on morphological and molecular characters sampled from about 75% of recognized species representing 13 genera.
