Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
study within the problematic of the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the environment. These organisms are genetically modified to enhance the production of a compound (e.g. enzymes, vitamins), and ...
ESCAIDE 2022 Oral presentation: International outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium linked to a chocolate factory in 2022: Belgian findings
investigations indicated two clusters: HC5_296366 (cluster 1) and HC5_298160 (cluster 2). We assessed the extent of the outbreak in Belgium and took measures to limit further spread. Methods Probable and ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
Abstract: Salmonella is a major pathogen, widely spread and responsible of salmonellosis. It can cause different symptoms, from simple gastroenteritis to the more dangerous typhoid fever. Salmonella can ...
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids in food… the good, the bad and the ugly!
herbivores and are believed to be one of the most widely spread natural toxins. They can affect wildlife, livestock and humans via food consumption. Outbreaks in farm animals can cause economic losses to ...
Evolutionary History and Ongoing Transmission of Phylogenetic Sublineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype in China.
global spread in the last century. Here, a collection of M. tuberculosis Beijing family isolates from different provinces across all China was genotyped by high-resolution (24- MIRU- VNTR) and ...
Compensatory Mutations of Rifampin Resistance Are Associated with Transmission of Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype Strains in China.

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus on Belgian Pork.
minced pork, ribs, forelimbs, and ears; n = 137) originating from four butcheries (A through D) were spread plated on ChromID MRSA plates both before and after overnight enrichment culture. Suspect ...
Isolation and characterization of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from pharmaceutical industrial wastewaters.

2,4-Dialkyl-8,9,10,11-tetrahydrobenzo[g]pyrimido[4,5-c]isoquinoline-1,3,7,12(2H,4H)-tetraones as new leads against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
most antibiotics and xenobiotics, the search for such new compounds is far from trivial. Further exacerbated by the rapid generation and spread of drug resistant M. tuberculosis and fuelled by the HIV ...
Transmission Dynamics of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Pigs.
potential may emerge, for which few therapeutic options would remain. This questions the need to implement interventions to control the presence and spread of MRSA CC398 among pigs. MRSA CC398 shows a high ...
