Mobile phones as a vector for Healthcare-Associated Infection: A systematic review.

potentially pathogenic micro-organisms and as such hold a potential risk for nosocomial infection. OBJECTIVES: To assess the risk of mobile phones as vectors for nosocomial infection and the impact of ...

Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health

investigation and clinical/veterinary diagnostics. This could also allow a better understanding of infectious diseases and accurate risk (safety) assessment in food safety issues. However, before it can be used ...

Detection strategy targeting a chloramphenicol resistance gene from genetically modified bacteria in food and feed products

genes harboured by such GMM is currently available for the enforcement laboratories. In reason of the increasing interest of the competent authorities to be able to assess the potential risks related to ...

Use of next‐generation sequencing in microbial risk assessment

necessity to be able to assess the potential microbial risks along the food chain. Risk assessment relies on sound scientific data. Unfortunately, often, quality data are limited if not lacking. ...

Transfer of Campylobacter from a Positive Batch to Broiler Carcasses of a Subsequently Slaughtered Negative Batch: A Quantitative Approach.

min of sampling time. However, the reduction was slower than previously estimated in risk assessment studies, suggesting that pathogen transfer during crosscontamination is a complex process. Health ...

Infection due to travel-related carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, a largely underestimated phenomenon in Belgium.

Sensitivity Tests Needs Assessment Risk Assessment Travel Abstract: BACKGROUND: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are emerging worldwide, representing a major threat for public health. Early CPE ...

Co-occurrence of free-living protozoa and foodborne pathogens on dishcloths: implications for food safety.

Moreover, important foodborne pathogens are also regularly recovered. This simultaneous occurrence makes dishcloths a potential risk factor for cross-contamination and a microbial niche for bacteria- FLP ...
