Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
on the Belgian market. In total, 75 collected product samples were cultured on a general medium and, in case of bacterial growth, two isolates per product sample were collected and characterized using ...
Towards facilitated interpretation of shotgun metagenomics long-read sequencing data analyzed with KMA for the detection of bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance genes
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Mathieu Gand; Navickaite, Indre; Bartsch, Lee-Julia; Grützke, Josephine; Overballe-Petersen, Søren; Rasmussen, Astrid; Otani, Saria; Michelacci, Valeria; Matamoros, Bosco Rodríguez; González-Zorn ...
Microbial quality analysis of falsified medicines seized by controling agencies
bachelor’s degree thesis, I present the results obtained for the bacterial and fungal contamination preset in illicit PDE-5 inhibitors, seized by Belgian authorities, by determining their bioburden. Bioburden ...
Persistence of the Staphylococcus aureus epidemic European fusidic acid-resistant impetigo clone (EEFIC) in Belgium.

Targeted Chromosomal Barcoding Establishes Direct Genotype-Phenotype Associations for Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus.
Gonzalo-Asensio, Jesús Source: Microbiol Spectr (2023) Abstract: A bedaquiline-resistant Mycobacterium abscessus isolate was sequenced, and a candidate mutation in the gene was identified as responsible for the ...
Development of a Taxon-Specific Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Method to Detect Trichoderma reesei Contaminations in Fermentation Products
several unexpected GMM contaminations to be highlighted. Currently, only bacterial strains are targeted by this strategy. Given that fungal strains, like Trichoderma reesei, are also frequently used by the ...
First Belgian Report of Ertapenem Resistance in an ST11 Klebsiella Pneumoniae Strain Isolated from a Dog Carrying blaSCO-1 and blaDHA-1 Combined with Permeability Defects
(MLST) and the identification and localization of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence-associated genes. Three plasmids were reconstructed from the whole-genome sequence (WGS) data: the conjugative ...
Genomic epidemiology of persistently circulating MDR Shigella sonnei strains associated with men who have sex with men (MSM) in Belgium (2013–19)
various incompatibility (Inc)-type plasmids, the SpA plasmid and ESBL genes. CONCLUSIONS: In Belgium, S. sonnei isolates from men are much more likely to be resistant to important first-line antibiotics ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
composing genes such as virulence or antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, without prior knowledge, nor the need to isolate. Such approaches could offer efficient and fast solutions to limitations faced by ...
