Contextual factors influencing the equitable implementation of precision medicine in routine cancer care in Belgium
challenges and suggesting solutions with an emphasis on the importance of comparative analyses of health systems, evaluation of health technology assessment methods, and the exploration of ethical issues in ...
A genomic appraisal of invasive Salmonella Typhimurium and associated antibiotic resistance in sub-Saharan Africa.
is responsible for a huge public health burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is the main cause of iNTS disease in Africa. By analysing whole genome ...
Factors influencing SARS-CoV-2 infection rate in Belgian nursing homes’ residents during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic
was organised testing all NH residents and staff. We analysed data of Flemish NH to identify institutional factors associated with increased SARS-CoV-2 infection rates among NH residents. ...
Virological surveillance of influenza in Belgium, season 2019-2020
Respiratory samples were also analysed for other respiratory viruses. In the ILI population, 70 % of the patients were positive for at least one respiratory virus (including Influenza and co-infections). In ...
Wastewater monitoring can anchor global disease surveillance systems
latrines was more typical in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC s). Almost all programmes analysed samples in-country, with an average processing time of 2·3 days in HIC s and 4·5 days in LMIC s. ...
A global genomic analysis of Salmonella Concord reveals lineages with high antimicrobial resistance in Ethiopia.
The evolution and geographical distribution of S. Concord remained unclear. Here, we provide a genomic overview of the population structure and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of S. Concord by analysing ...
Humoral and cellular immune correlates of protection against COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients.
the dominant variants in the general population. Univariate Analyses identified the avidity of SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain binding IgG, neutralizing antibodies, and SARS-CoV-2 S2-specific ...
Towards clinical breakpoints for non-tuberculous mycobacteria- Determination of epidemiological cut off values for the Mycobacterium avium complex and Mycobacterium abscessus using broth microdilution.
MAB (n = 1014) confirmed by analysing MAB subspecies without inducible macrolide resistance (n = 235). For amikacin, the ECOFF s were 64 mg/L for MAC and MAB. For moxifloxacin, the WT spanned >8 mg/L ...
Continued Circulation of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Variants and Detection of Novel Transmission Foci, the Netherlands.
locations considered to be at high risk for TBEV circulation. We found TBEV RNA in 3 rodents (0.9%) and 7 tick pools (minimum infection rate 0.02%) from 5 geographically distinct foci. Phylogenetic analyses ...
High diversity of yeast species and strains responsible for vulvovaginal candidiasis in South-East Gabon.
time C. nivariensis in VVC in Africa. This study is also the first to investigate the genotypic diversity of the circulating C. albicans strains associated with VVC in Central Africa. Such analyses would ...
