High abundance and diversity of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli in faeces and tonsils of pigs at slaughter.
Tryptone Bile X-glucuronide agar supplemented with 1mg/L cefotaxime) were detected in 72 faecal samples (75%; 95% CI: 64-83%) and 45 tonsil samples (47%; 95% CI: 35-59%), in numbers up to 5.5 and 5.6log10 ...
Detection of regulated herbs and plants in plant food supplements and traditional medicines using infrared spectroscopy.
misclassifications for the selected test set. For the other three a success rate of 50% was obtained. Mid- IR combined with SIMCA can therefore be applied as a first step in the screening of unknown samples, before ...
Influence of apixaban on commonly used coagulation assays: results from the Belgian national External Quality Assessment Scheme.
with a large number of reagent/instrument combinations. METHODS: Four lyophilized plasma samples spiked with apixaban (0, 41, 94 and 225 ng/mL) were sent to the 195 Belgian and Luxembourg clinical ...

Pertussis diagnosis in Belgium: results of the National Reference Centre for Bordetella anno 2015.
Young adult Abstract: In 2015, the Belgian National Reference Centre for Bordetella analyzed 4110 respiratory samples by qPCR and 4877 serum samples by serology. Whereas about 50% of respiratory samples ...
Laboratory validation of two real-time RT-PCR methods with 5'-tailed primers for an enhanced detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus.
foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). For an optimal detection of FMDV in clinical samples, it is advised to use both assays simultaneously (King et al., 2006). Recently, Vandenbussche et al. (2016) showed that the ...
Evaluation of 16 commercial antibody ELISAs for the detection of bovine viral diarrhea virus-specific antibodies in serum and milk using well-characterized sample panels.
2 panels of well-characterized serum and milk samples. Sixteen ELISA s from 9 different manufacturers, available on the Belgian market at the time of our study, were assessed for their diagnostic and ...
Brucella abortus is Prevalent in Both Humans and Animals in Bangladesh.
animal samples and 500 human sera were tested. Animal samples from cattle, goats and sheep (including milk, bull semen, vaginal swabs and placentas) were cultured for Brucella spp. Three test-positive ...
Specific antibody-mediated immunity in the reproductive tract of laying chickens immunized against Newcastle disease with conventional attenuated and inactivated vaccines.
tested by: (i) haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test, (ii) commercial IDV et ND-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and (iii) NDV-specific IgG, IgM and IgA in-house ELISA s. For all sampling time ...
Complete Genome Sequence of an Avian Metapneumovirus Subtype A Strain Isolated from Chicken () in Brazil.
metapneumovirus (aMPV) isolated from a tracheal tissue sample of a commercial layer flock. The complete genome sequence of aMPV-A/chicken/Brazil- SP /669/2003 was obtained using MiSeq (Illumina, Inc.) sequencing. ...
