Urine concentrations of Arsenic and its species in adolescents from Wallonia (Belgium).
its species in a representative sample of adolescents of the Walloon population in Belgium. We examined the associations of As and its species with habitual intakes of fish and rice and other possible ...
Pyrogen testing of phage therapeutic products
these last years, with treatments provided to more than 100 patients, against more than 10 different bacterial species. Therapeutic phage products are produced in a bacterial host strain, hence pyrogen ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
species in various concentrations and carrying AMR and/or virulence genes, taking the specific need of each application into account. Moreover, the short read and long read approaches are being compared to ...
Arsenic Speciation Analysis Elucidates the Risk Assesment of Food Supplements with Ingredients of Marine Origin. 9th Nordic Conference on plasma spectrochemistry
resulting in elevated As concentrations in FS with ingredients of marine origin, such as fish oil, krill oil or algae. Since human health risks are not related to the total As concentration but are species ...
Analysis and risk characterization of arsenic species in food supplements based on clay.

MALDI-TOF for the identification of Mycobacteria and their drug resistance profiles
cultures. In total 88.6% (172/194) of the samples were correctly identified on the species-level using a cut-off score of 1.8 and 91.75% (178/194) using a cut-off of 1.65. All samples of the Mycobacterium ...

WIV-ISP's experiences in the use of MALDI-TOF for the identification of Mycobacteria and their drug resistance profiles
Mycobacteria and their drug resistance profiles. By using an optimized extraction protocol, they successfully identified 88.14 % of 194 Mycobacterial strains at a species-level and 3.09 % at genus-level, using ...
Introducing speciation changes, human bioaccessibility and bioavailability in the risk evaluation of dietary inorganic arsenic intake: a Belgian case study
Hence normative legislation should preferably be speciation-based in the case of As. To assess the risks associated to dietary As intake, the knowledge of the internal exposure to different As-species is ...
Detection of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in milk and honey on the Belgian market using UHPLC-MS/MS.
remedy, milk, dairy products or honey. As PA s are biosynthesized by a wide variety of plant species, intoxication could occur worldwide. Therefore, the development of efficient analytical methods is ...
