A genomic appraisal of invasive Salmonella Typhimurium and associated antibiotic resistance in sub-Saharan Africa.
ST313- L2 likely emerged in the Democratic Republic of Congo around 1980 and further spread in the mid 1990s. We observed plasmid-borne as well as chromosomally encoded fluoroquinolone resistance ...
Virological surveillance of influenza in Belgium, season 2019-2020
COVID-19, spreading through respiratory transmission, required the implementation of physical distancing measures likely contributed to an abrupt decline of the influenza season. The majority of the H1N1 ...
Author Correction: The evolution and international spread of extensively drug resistant Shigella sonnei
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Mason, Lewis C. E.; Greig, David R.; Lauren A. Cowley; Partridge, Sally R.; Martinez, Elena; Grace A. Blackwell; Chong, Charlotte E.; De Silva, P. Malaka; Bengtsson, Rebecca J.; Draper, Jenny L.; ...
MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry Online Identification of Using the MSI-2 Application.
spread from India to Europe and that is more prone than other species of the complex to show resistance to terbinafine, resulting in the necessity of rapid identification. Here, we improved the online ...
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
Klebsiella pneumoniae of sequence type (ST) 11 is a hyper-epidemic nosocomial clone, which is spreading worldwide among humans and emerging in pets. This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of ...
A Belgian student with black eschars.
performed on a skin biopsy of the pubic lesion. Close contact with cats (her domestic cats or cats from a local shelter) was probably the source of transmission. Spreading of the lesions was likely the result ...
The influence of risk perceptions on close contact frequency during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
implemented to curb the spread of the virus mainly aim at limiting the number of close contacts, until vaccine roll-out is complete. Our main objective was to assess the relationships between SARS-CoV-2 ...
COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in Belgian nursing homes: results of a surveillance conducted between April and December 2020
COVID-19, making it essential to follow-up the spread of COVID-19 in this setting. This manuscript describes the methodology of surveillance and epidemiology of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in ...
Strategy and Performance Evaluation of Low-Frequency Variant Calling for SARS-CoV-2 Using Targeted Deep Illumina Sequencing
curtail the virus spread. Additionally, emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants have increased the need for genomic surveillance to detect particular strains because of their potentially increased transmissibility, ...
Pre-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among staff and residents of nursing homes in Flanders (Belgium) in fall 2020
study shows that NH are more affected by SARS-CoV-2 than the general population. The large variation between NH, suggests that some risk factors for the spread among residents and staff may be related to ...
