Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
on the Belgian market. In total, 75 collected product samples were cultured on a general medium and, in case of bacterial growth, two isolates per product sample were collected and characterized using ...
Persistence of the Staphylococcus aureus epidemic European fusidic acid-resistant impetigo clone (EEFIC) in Belgium.
Volume 78, Issue 8 (2023) Keywords: Anti-Bacterial Agents Belgium Clone Cells Drug Resistance, Bacterial Fusidic Acid Humans Impetigo Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Multilocus Sequence Typing ...
Characterization of a Bacteriophage GEC_vB_Bfr_UZM3 Active against.

First Belgian Report of Ertapenem Resistance in an ST11 Klebsiella Pneumoniae Strain Isolated from a Dog Carrying blaSCO-1 and blaDHA-1 Combined with Permeability Defects
(MLST) and the identification and localization of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence-associated genes. Three plasmids were reconstructed from the whole-genome sequence (WGS) data: the conjugative ...
Genomic epidemiology of persistently circulating MDR Shigella sonnei strains associated with men who have sex with men (MSM) in Belgium (2013–19)
various incompatibility (Inc)-type plasmids, the SpA plasmid and ESBL genes. CONCLUSIONS: In Belgium, S. sonnei isolates from men are much more likely to be resistant to important first-line antibiotics ...
First detection of a plasmid-encoded New-Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) producing Acinetobacter baumannii using whole genome sequencing, isolated in a clinical setting in Benin.
metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) is increasingly recognized as a serious threat. This gene is usually carried by large plasmids and has already been documented in diverse bacterial species, including A. baumannii. Here, we ...
Validation strategy of a bioinformatics whole genome sequencing workflow for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli using a reference collection extensively characterized with conventional methods
bacterial pathogenic isolates at single nucleotide resolution, making it the ultimate tool for routine surveillance and outbreak investigation. The lack of standardization, and the variation regarding ...
Retrospective survey of unauthorized genetically modified bacteria harbouring antimicrobial resistance genes in feed additive vitamin B2 commercialized in Belgium: Challenges and solutions
suspicious samples contaminated with additional unknown GM bacterial strains as well as potential health and environmental risks related to the unexpected presence of full-length AMR genes could be ...
Genomic epidemiology of emerging ESBL-producing Kentucky in Europe.
spread has occurred. Comparative genomics indicated that the gene is present on the bacterial chromosome, within the type VI secretion system region. The gene is integrated downstream of the gene, on ...
Development of an NGS-Based Workflow for Improved Monitoring of Circulating Plasmids in Support of Risk Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Dissemination.
localized on plasmids can be easily transferred between bacterial isolates by horizontal gene transfer, thereby contributing to the spread of AMR. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are ideal for ...
