Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
of convenient food or usage of single-use items. As a direct consequence, the production of plastics is globally increasing, as well as their release into the environment, threatening wildlife and ...
BSFM 2023- L. monocytogenes in Plant-Based Foods: insights from of a recent foodborne outbreak linked to vegan alternative to cheese
indicating it as the source of contamination. A third isolate was obtained by analysing a different product of vegan alternative to cheese from the same brand, suggesting a potential contamination in the ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
strands to be sequenced preferably. The combination of metagenomics and adaptive sampling could allow to circumvent the isolation but also the enrichment of the food sample. Materials and Methods As ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
defined as the study of all genetic material within a sample, using sequencing technologies. Shotgun metagenomics is capable of detecting a wide range of microorganisms in a sample, as well as their ...
