Whole Genome Sequencing Provides an Added Value to the Investigation of Staphylococcal Food Poisoning Outbreaks
C.J. De Keersmaecker Source: Frontiers in Microbiology, Volume 12 (2021) Keywords: DNA extraction kits enterotoxin gene profiling outbreak investigation relatedness determination Staphylococcus aureus, ...
In utero exposure to parabens and early childhood BMI z-scores – Associations between placental ethyl paraben, longitudinal BMI trajectories and cord blood metabolic biomarkers
confounders, additionally stratified for different maternal BMI groups and assessed by causal mediation analysis. The association between placental paraben concentration and differential DNA methylation of CpGs ...
A shotgun metagenomics approach to detect and characterize unauthorized genetically modified microorganisms in microbial fermentation products
microbial fermentation products shotgun metagenomics Abstract: The presence of a genetically modified microorganism (GMM) or its DNA, often harboring antimicrobial resis- tance (AMR) genes, in microbial ...
Safety assessment of titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive
effects. With respect to genotoxicity, the Panel concluded that TiO2 particles have the potential to induce DNA strand breaks and chromosomal damage, but not gene mutations. No clear correlation was observed ...

Identifying nanodescriptors to predict the toxicity of nanomaterials: a case study on titanium dioxide
modelling. Agglomerate size as a nanodescriptor was well associated with biological endpoints such as DNA damage and/or cytotoxicity. We conclude that, agglomerate size is an important nanodescriptor to assess ...
Retrospective survey of unauthorized genetically modified bacteria harbouring antimicrobial resistance genes in feed additive vitamin B2 commercialized in Belgium: Challenges and solutions
highlighted. In addition, the possible complementary use of additional data, like chloramphenicol presence and DNA concentration, as indicators for GMM contaminations was assessed. Based on results generated in ...
Unexpected mould diversity in clinical isolates from French Guiana and associated identification difficulties.
matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In total, 38.8% of the 98 obtained molds isolates could not be identified and required a DNA-based identification. Fungal diversity was ...
