Specific in vitro interferon-gamma and IL-2 production as biomarkers during treatment of chronic Q fever.

abstract：:Genetic diversity of phylogenetic or functional markers is widely used as a proxy of microbial diversity. However, it remains unclear to what extent functional diversity (FD), gene sequence diversity and community functioning are linked.
