Genomic epidemiology of emerging ESBL-producing Kentucky in Europe.

Routine surveillance at the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) detected cases with a ciprofloxacin-resistant. Kentucky with the ESBL-gene. Ensuing research identified 78 cases in ...

Deep amplicon sequencing for culture-free prediction of susceptibility or resistance to 13 anti-tuberculous drugs.

J (2020) Abstract: Conventional molecular tests for detecting complex (MTBC) drug resistance on clinical samples cover a limited set of mutations. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) typically requires culture. ...

Development of an NGS-Based Workflow for Improved Monitoring of Circulating Plasmids in Support of Risk Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Dissemination.

the detection of AMR genes; however, reliable reconstruction of plasmids is still a challenge due to large repetitive regions. This study proposes a workflow to reconstruct plasmids with NGS data in ...

Molecular surveillance of anti-malarial drug resistance in Democratic Republic of Congo: high variability of chloroquinoresistance and lack of amodiaquinoresistance.

detected by a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) available on site (SD Bioline Malaria Ag Pf or CareStart Malaria Pf) or thick blood smear and then confirmed by a P. falciparum species-specific real-time PCR assay. ...

First detection of a plasmid located carbapenem resistant blaVIM-1 gene in E. coli isolated from meat products at retail in Belgium in 2015

Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Cristina Garcia-Graells; Bas Berbers; Bavo Verhaegen; Kevin Vanneste; Marchal, Kathleen; Nancy Roosens; N Botteldoorn; Sigrid C.J. De Keersmaecker Source: International Journal of Food Microbiolo ...

RNA-based drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

this method is that it avoids a long culture-dependent step, yet detects the resistance phenotype, independent of the specific cause of resistance. First, the global transcriptional response of H37R ...

Point Prevalence Study of Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Use in Belgian Acute-Care Hospitals: Results of the ECDC PPS 2017

was available in 80.8% of the medical notes. A crude prevalence of patients with at least one HAI of 7.3% (95% CI: 6.8-7.7%) was detected. The most frequently reported HAI s (N=911) were pneumonia ...

Surveillance of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in Belgian hospitals: Report 2016

as in 2015 (0.14 cases per 1 000 patient days). In acute and chronic care hospital 50.1% and 41.3% of all nosocomial MRSA cases were detected through screening, respectively. One hundred and five ...

Falciparum malaria molecular drug resistance in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a systematic review.

available. Monitoring drug resistance is essential for early detection and subsequent prevention of the spread of drug resistance by timely changes of treatment policy. This review was performed to gather all ...
